King Shan Yu sat on a tall horse, grabbed the reins, and looked at his million-strong army, and the other party dared to come alone, and one came on a white horse, not even wearing armor, and the scribe's robes fluttered, fluttering in this slightly cold wind.

Even he couldn't help but admire this man's bravery, and I am afraid that there are few people on the prairie who can do this.

Go alone to about a million troops, brave in the world!

For a while, King Shan only felt that the Chang'an City behind the man no longer looked majestic, and at this moment, the majestic Chang'an City behind him seemed to be trampled under the feet of this man.

King Shan Yu grabbed the reins, raised his eyes, and sneered: "You are the generalissimo of the imperial court, I don't know whether to praise your bravery or laugh at your stupidity?" Dare to come alone, aren't you afraid that we will kill you? ”

Zhao Xuanqi looked at the big river between the two sides.

The river rolled, like a heavenly curse between the two sides.

The silver stream was so wide and large that not even a bow or arrow could shoot it, and the river still had a cold breath in this season.

If it weren't for this river, he really wouldn't dare to come alone.

After all, he is not stupid, if the commander of the first army is killed, it will be a devastating thing.

Of course, Zhao Xuanqi will not say that this river has given him courage, and he still has to pretend to be what he should pretend.

Sometimes, only by pretending can you crush the enemy in momentum.

In fact, in this era, the northern Hun barbarians are still very afraid of the Central Plains court, and if they don't have to, they will definitely not dare to go south to plunder, so you have to pretend!

Zhao Xuanqi looked at Shan Yuwang indifferently, as if he didn't see the million army behind him, as if the million army was like nothing, and responded: "Why call extra people to come when you can negotiate alone?" What one person can do, then come alone! ”

Although King Shan Yu admired Zhao Xuanqi's courage, he felt ridiculous in his heart, and asked with a sneer: "What do you mean by asking me to meet here?" Let's put it bluntly, people on the prairie don't like to beat around the bush, and if you just talk about headaches, there is no need to speak! ”

"Naturally!"

Zhao Xuanqi said straight to the point: "Presumably, King Shan Yu led a million cavalry south, not simply to fight, the most important purpose is just to plunder and obtain supplies." ”

"I just want to tell you a very simple thing, there are no resources nearby that can be looted for you, and no matter how much you loot, you will not be able to get supplies."

"A few months ago, the imperial court was in turmoil, Chang'an City was besieged by rebels, and the 500,000 troops of the Wandering Army attacked the capital.

"After they invaded Chang'an City, they burned and looted all the way, not half of the Jiadi Zhu Gate, the wealthy families of the imperial court were wiped out, the looted and plundered, everyone in the entire Great Wall suffered a catastrophe, and all the materials were looted and taken away!"

"Later, although I led the army to drive them away, there were so many troops of 500,000 that even a brick and tile could not be borne by one person, so after the chaotic army left, Chang'an City had already been destroyed, and it was difficult to take out even a piece of cloth or a little more food!"

Zhao Xuanqi said this kind of thing very exaggeratedly.

Of course, the matter was not so serious, not to mention anything else, the prodigal army did not loot the supplies to the Great Wall at all, and the people were not harassed.

He's just an exaggerated fool of the king.

Through the news of spies from all sides, Zhao Xuanqi had already judged the reason why Beimang went south, the northern grassland was too cold, there was not enough food and cold items, and Beimang went south just to loot food and cold clothes!

This is the purpose of Beimang!

What Zhao Xuanqi has to do is very simple, that is, to tell him that this kind of thing is not worth the loss, there is no place to loot at all, and there is no resource for him to loot!

Only then can he retreat!

After Shan Yuwang heard this, his face changed.

There are still people who come to plunder before themselves!

The grassland is closed, he really doesn't know this news, the news that the princes and kings passed to him is that Chang'an City is extremely rich, containing countless treasures and property, let him take advantage of the fire to rob, and he didn't tell him about the prodigal army at all!

Of course, King Shan Yu would not believe Zhao Xuanqi's words.

Immediately whispered a few words to the person next to him and ordered something.

So, I saw that the person next to me released a strange big bird, and the big bird flew into the sky, flew into the air, and hovered in the air, making a strange call.

It didn't take long for several Beimang spies to arrive from afar, and they came at a gallop on horseback.

These Beimang spies are pioneers, they have arrived a few days ago, and they have long been probing the news of the nearby area, as well as probing useful information, and collecting all kinds of information.

They hurriedly knelt in front of King Shan Yu, and slowly told them what had happened these days and what had happened one by one, including Zhao Xuanqi's information.

"Damn it!"

After Shan Yu Wang heard about it, he was sure that what Zhao Xuanqi said was not deceiving.

The 500,000 troops of the Wandering Army burned, killed and plundered, and even broke through Chang'an, slaughtered countless wealthy families in the city, and robbed the people of countless resources and money!

Chang'an, which has been looted once, is not only short of resources in the city, but also has few people left in the surrounding areas.

Resources have been robbed, so what are you robbing!

When King Shan Yu learned the news, he fell into a state of anger.

But he knew that anger was useless, so he looked at Zhao Xuanqi fiercely and vented all his anger on Zhao Xuanqi.

King Shan Yu said angrily: "So what? My million cavalry has arrived, is it possible that there is still a reason to return empty-handed? Even if there are not many supplies nearby, even if there are few resources, it is better than nothing, I must grab a clean one, the sons of the grassland never return empty-handed! ”

Zhao Xuanqi laughed, behaved politely, and responded politely: "Then I have to wait for King Shan Yu's plunder, and the 50,000 elite soldiers in my city will also wait for a long time!" ”

King Shan Yu sneered: "Hahaha, 50,000 troops? I am riding a million iron at the moment, what is there to be afraid of, what is there to be afraid of? These 50,000 troops are not enough to stuff my teeth, and a meeting can cut you off your horse, are you not the sword in my hand is not sharp enough? ”

"My sword is not a disadvantage!" Zhao Xuanqi replied without hesitation, his voice sonorous and powerful.

Millions of cavalry, the imperial court at this moment really can't resist, but Zhao Xuanqi knows that the momentum can't be coerced at this time.

If you coax it, it's over!

Although there is only one person, Zhao Xuanqi is still invincible.

He raised Shang Fang's sword aloft.

Raise the sword above your head and face the sun.

The golden rays of the sun covered the body.

Zhao Xuanqi looked at it with a sharp gaze, and immediately shouted loudly, and said in an impassioned voice: "My Han family has never been afraid of any provocation, the world is full of smoke, the general of the sky led the prodigal army to sweep in all directions, and the 500,000 army attacked Chang'an by land and water. ”

"I only have 30,000 elite soldiers in Chang'an, and I have broken 500,000 chaotic troops, and the general who rushed to the sky died on the spot, and the 500,000 chaotic army was defeated on all fronts, with heavy casualties, running and wailing, and the people who fled were only thousands!"

"And my 30,000-strong army suffered no more than a thousand casualties!"

In the spotlight, Zhao Xuanqi showed a confident and calm attitude, and immediately gave an example:

"Nanyue killed the Han envoy and slaughtered the nine counties, King Wan killed the Han envoy, and the head county was Beique!"

"Since ancient times, a Han has been a five-hundred-hundred-year-old, and my Han family has never lost half a step to the outside world!"

"Don't underestimate my Han family's sons, my soldiers, although few but elite, invincible, invincible, invincible, invincible!"

"What if you have an army of millions? Could it be that my army of 50,000 ate dry food? 500,000 thieves can be broken, but why can't a million barbarians be broken? What's more, your million is still an imaginary number! ”

"My sword is sharp in the world, and it is not impossible to cut off your head!"

Zhao Xuanqi pulled out his sword and pointed at Shan Yu Wang!

He has an indomitable momentum and courage on him, as if the sword has been hung above King Shan Yu's head, and he can cut off his dog head at any time!

This self-confidence and calmness set off the brilliance of the whole person.

Shan Yu Wang was shocked on the spot.

The barbarians beside him were also shocked by Zhao Xuanqi's inexplicable courage and self-confidence, and for a while, they looked at him in horror.

Under the shroud of the sun, the river reflects a brilliant silver light, like a silver red Lian, the light of the red practice is dazzling, making people can't open their eyes, at this moment and the silver sword in the man's hand complement each other, as if the whole river has become the long sword in the man's hand, and the blue sky behind him has become the back, adding a bit of divinity to the man.

At this moment, no one dared to look directly at Zhao Xuanqi!

In fact, some of the words Zhao Xuanqi said were indeed true and reliable, and they were very oppressive.

The former dynasty was the Han State, and after the Han State was the Northern Wei Dynasty, which had always pressed the Xiongnu and the Beimang on the ground and rubbed them, and there were aliens who killed the envoys of the Han State, so that a catastrophe came, the Han army came to the heavens, and the entire alien country was slaughtered bloodily.

It's a fear in the blood.

However, it was only a moment of shock, and King Shan immediately came back to his senses, ashamed of his cowardice just now, and angry for a moment of fear just now.

A soldier was born and immediately scolded: "King, this person is so arrogant, it is better for me to take his dog's life!" ”

King Shan Yu waved his long knife and instantly cut off the head of this warrior, and the body fell under the horse.

The people around him immediately showed expressions of fear.

King Shan Yu enjoyed the fear of others, and the shame and anger in his heart dissipated most of it.

He stared at Zhao Xuanqi viciously and said angrily, "So what do you mean?" Are you threatening me? ”

Zhao Xuanqi replied: "My meaning is very simple, we have nothing here for you to plunder, if you must rob, then you have to face my army of 50,000, we will not retreat, King Shan Yu must not be so stupid, just to rob a little worthless little thing, and sacrifice the lives of so many of your warriors, this is definitely not worth the loss, pick up the sesame seeds and throw away the watermelon, even a fool will not do it, King Shan Yu must be a first-class smart person in the world, I don't think you will do such a stupid thing, So please retreat! ”

Shan Yu Wang was not frightened, so he naturally would not be forced back by these simple words.

The million-strong army has arrived, and if you don't take anything, where will you put your face? Even if you have heavy losses, you have to loot!

No matter how good it is, you can't go home empty-handed, this is the bottom line!

He snorted coldly and said emphatically, "I can't go home empty-handed!" ”

Zhao Xuanqi knew that his words just now had made King Shan Yu retreat, but it was true that he couldn't go home empty-handed, and no one wanted to come in vain at such a time!

He immediately gave King Shan Yu a ladder to go down: "Then why plunder? The north is cold, the people of the king alone have no food and cold items to survive the winter, not necessarily by fighting a war to solve the problem, the reason why people are different from beasts, is because people can communicate, have civilization and wisdom, I can represent the court to give the king food and warm clothes! ”

Shan Yuwang's eyes lit up.

The neighborhood was already impoverished, and if it was to be plundered, there would be nothing to loot at all.

Even if you want to plunder, you have to face an attack of 50,000 elite soldiers, and you are likely to lose many people's lives.

If the other party takes the initiative to send supplies, this is indeed good news!

He immediately opened his mouth and said, "I want a million stone of grain and a million pieces of warm clothing!" ”

Zhao Xuanqi shook his head, and he slowly stretched out one palm at a time.

Seeing this, King Shan Yu frowned and said, "500,000 stone grains, 500,000 warm clothes? This can also be ......."

Zhao Xuanqi sneered, opened his mouth and responded: "It's not 500,000, but 50,000!" ”

"My Chang'an City can provide 50,000 stone of grain and 50,000 pieces of warm clothing!"

Shan Yuwang's head shook like a rattle, and immediately retorted: "What are you kidding? Just this little thing and still want to send us Beimang million cavalry? Do you still think this is a dispatch called Hanako? At least 500,000! ”

"It's true that we have long been looted by the prodigal army, Chang'an City has long been hungry, 50,000 stones is already the limit, if there is more, everyone is cornered, everyone can only fight with you!"

Zhao Xuanqi immediately exaggerated and said: "I made a decision against my father and fellow villagers, 100,000 stones, 100,000 stones of grain and 100,000 pieces of warm clothing!" ”

100,000 stone food is enough for 100,000 people to eat for a month, in fact, it is not too much, Zhao Xuanqi has harvested the military camp of the Wandering Army, as well as the materials of so many wealthy families in the imperial court, the imperial court can actually take out tens of millions of stones It is also easy, but he doesn't want to fund the enemy!

Shan Yuwang looked at Zhao Xuanqi's expression carefully, and couldn't see any flaws.

He thought to himself: This should be his final bottom line, right? 100,000 stone is better than going home empty-handed!

For a moment, he was a little moved.

But he couldn't pull this face, he felt that it was too embarrassing to lead a million army to loot this little thing back, and he was still not satisfied with this amount after all.

His eyes rolled to an idea.

"I heard that you are the first of the four disciplines, and you are also the champion of fame, and you are famous in the world."

"The poems you make seem to come from the sky, famous all over the world, and praised by countless people.

"Although the people on my prairie have lived in the border for a long time, they are also fascinated by the loss of this elegant scenery."

"In this way, if you can make an excellent poem within seven steps, and it must be in line with the poem of our current scene, then I will accept the bottom line of 100,000 stones!"

Shan Yuwang's face suddenly became fierce, and he threatened: "But if you can't do it, then you have to accept 500,000 stones!" ”

Zhao Xuanqi just thought for a moment, and agreed without hesitation: "I accept!" ”

The voice fell too simply.

King Shan Yu was confused.

Are you that confident?

How difficult it is to fit the verses of the present scene in seven steps!

The time to conceive is only a moment, I'm afraid you don't even have time to use your brain, can you really make a good poem?

Although he has lived in the depths of the grassland for a long time, he has also written articles since elementary school, so he naturally knows this difficulty, and he was suddenly made unconfident.

King Shan Yu immediately asked the goateeed scribe next to him, "Could it be that your Northern Wei poems are so worthless?" ”

The goatee scribe next to him laughed.

He responded: "King, with all due respect, this is absolutely impossible, no matter how talented this Zhao Xuanqi is, it is absolutely impossible to make a suitable poem within seven steps, King, just wait to see the joke!" ”

"It is absolutely impossible to have this kind of genius in the world, according to the subordinates, this guy will definitely make a garbage poem to fool the king later, in my opinion, the king led a million army to the south directly, killing them without leaving a piece of armor!"

He was also a native of the Northern Wei Dynasty before, and even participated in the lifting exam, it was precisely because he failed the list many times that he hated the imperial court, and even disliked everyone in the Northern Wei Kingdom, so he took refuge in Beimang, and he couldn't wait to find an opportunity to let the barbarians go south and take revenge!

Shan Yu Wang showed a suspicious look on his face, and said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "What if he can make verses?" ”

The goatee scribe snorted coldly: "The king is too worried, I am also a talent in the imperial court, how can I not know this difficulty?" If the verse is to be in line with the scene, and it has to be very good, and it has to be done in seven steps, it is absolutely impossible! ”

"If Zhao Xuanqi really makes it, then my head will be cut off and used as a urinal for him!"

After speaking, he immediately jumped off his horse, stared at Zhao Xuanqi on the other side of the river viciously and said, "I'll take seven steps now and see what kind of tattered verses you use to fool us!" ”

The goatee-bearded scribe stepped out of his feet arrogantly, taking a step at a rapid pace, followed by a second and third step.

He walked very fast, almost in one or two breaths, and took a full four or five steps.

These few steps, for ordinary people, can't even spill a soak of urine, and he doesn't believe that anyone can really make poems!

However, without waiting for the goatee scribe to take the next step, Zhao Xuanqi rode on the horse, but opened his mouth and began to chant slowly:

"The black clouds overwhelm the city and want to destroy it, and the armor light opens to the sun."

"The sound of horns fills the sky with autumn colors, stuffed with swallow fat and night purple."

"Half a roll of red flags is in the water, and the frost is heavy and the cold is not sound."

"Repay the king's will on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king."

Zhao Xuanqi opened his mouth and came out, and his words were clear.

It seems random, but in fact, he came up with this poem after thinking about it, and tried to fit the theme at this time.

The whole poem is about the soldiers fighting to resist the invasion of outsiders.

The enemy soldiers rolled in like black clouds, trying to destroy the city walls; The armor of the warriors shimmered golden in the sunlight.

The sound of the horn resounded in the long sky of the autumn night, and the clouds on the edge of the sky outside the plug condensed the night sky into purple.

The red flag was half rolled, and the reinforcements rushed to Yishui; The night was cold and frosty, and the drumming was depressed and low.

In order to repay the king's reward and love, he was willing to fight to the death for the blood of the country with a sword in hand.

There is also Yishui outside the plug, and there is also this world, which usually refers to the area where Beimang is located, and the current scene is not that the Beimang army has invaded? Isn't it just that war is about to break out?

Zhao Xuanqi's poem successfully depicted all this, and he also expressed through the verses that he would definitely lead the soldiers to resist, in order to protect Chang'an City and the emperor, he would use the sword in his hand to fight to the death, and he would not retreat.

If Beimang really dares to rob, then he will definitely swear to defend it to the death and do his best!

"It's... This ......"

When the goatee scribe heard this, he was shocked.

He was tempted to say bullshit.

But with his level, he naturally knows the gold content of this poem, which is definitely a top-notch verse!

He looked at the man opposite in horror, he never thought that this person would really be able to make such a top-notch poem within seven steps!

Not only does it fit the topic, but it also becomes a poem within seven steps!

There really is such a genius in the world!

The goatee scribe felt incredulous in his heart, and shouted a little frantically, "This... This must be fake! ”

However, before he could say anything, King Shan Yu waved the long knife in his hand and directly cut off the scribe's head.

The headless corpse fell to the ground, its head rolling on the ground a few times, stained with dust and frost particles on the ground, and the look of disbelief on its face could be faintly seen.

The man beside Shan Yu Dynasty commanded: "Bring back his head, make me a urinal, and fulfill his promise!" ”

The soldier immediately replied: "Obey the king!" ”

Immediately afterwards, a soldier pulled the corpse down, neatly, without dragging mud and water at all, to prevent it from being an eyesore in front of the battle.

King Shan Yu looked at Zhao Xuanqi at this time, and there was already a look of admiration in his eyes.

"You dare to come to my Beimang million army alone, you are the brave warriors of the world, as the saying goes, there must be gains and losses, people who are good at martial arts must lack literary talent, must not be good at literary talent, the so-called literary fame All praise is the flattery of others."

"When I saw you today, I didn't expect you to be really brilliant, the rumors outside are true, Wenqu Xing is nothing more than that!"

"You have the world's first-class literary talent, and you have the world's first-class bravery, the Han family has such a son, no wonder I am not as good as Beimang!"

For a while, Shan Yu Wang had feelings of admiration, and sighed to himself in his heart.

He looked at Zhao Xuanqi's eyes full of ambiguity, and he couldn't wait to take Zhao Xuanqi under his command immediately.

It's a pity that he knows it's simply impossible.

Shan Yu Wang immediately said: "Since the poems you made meet the requirements, then I will accept the bottom line of 100,000 stone of grain and 100,000 pieces of warm clothing!" ”

The Beimang general next to him immediately persuaded: "But the king, 100,000 stone of grain is too little, we can't eat enough at all, if we return to the grassland, we will be starved to death!" ”

King Shan Yu scolded angrily: "Do you want to put me in the point of dishonesty? I am a dignified king of the North Mang, and what I promise must be done, 100,000 stones will be 100,000 stones! ”

Zhao Xuanqi looked at this clumsy acting skills.

Speechless for a while.

Who said that a barbarian's brain can't turn a corner?

Isn't this also acting!

Shan Yuwang obviously wants to lose his trust, but he can't lose face, so he will let others persuade him to act.

He suddenly understood that Beimang was indeed dissatisfied with 100,000 stone of grain!

Not only was the king dissatisfied, but also the vicious barbarians under him.

Think about it, isn't it because a million cavalry went south and made such a big move because they couldn't survive on the grassland?

If Zhao Xuanqi just used some simple words to force them back, then their million-strong army would be too worthless.

Zhao Xuanqi's words did make them have the psychology of retreating, and even King Shan Yu already wanted to retreat, but because they did not solve the fundamental problem, did not solve the problem of food and cold, so the soldiers under his command did not dare to retreat at all.

King Shan Yu wants to retreat now, but the people around him refuse to let him retreat!

Zhao Xuanqi knew that he would get a dose of fierce medicine at this time, and give Shan Yu Wang a ladder!

So he immediately promised: "We really can't get enough food here this year, 100,000 stone is definitely the limit, but I can promise to give Beimang million stone grain next year!" ”

Shan Yuwang's eyes lit up: "Not only will there be a million stones next year, but also a million stones the year after, every year!" ”

Zhao Xuanqi replied without hesitation: "Naturally!" ”

The reason why Zhao Xuanqi is so arrogant here is, of course, not heroic for no reason.

After a year, he may have put down the rebellion of the Eight Kings long ago, and after quelling the civil strife, he can free up his hands to solve Beimang.

And if it drags on for so long, artillery and bombs can definitely be made, and there may even be a lot of stock.

At that time, what can you do with the million-strong army of Beimang? What's more, this million is still an imaginary number, can cold weapons still resist the bombardment of artillery? And the explosion of ammunition?

Zhao Xuanqi is only short of time now, but there will be no shortage of time in a year.

That's why he's so arrogant, because he doesn't decide to give it at all!

In fact, King Shan Yu had already decided to retreat in his heart.

The prodigal army has already plundered, and there is nothing to loot here, and the raid will be attacked by a large army, and bloody killings will break out, for this little thing, the gains outweigh the losses.

Withdrawal is the best option.

It's just that the soldiers don't allow it, the soldiers don't think so much, they just want to loot enough supplies!

Now that he has found a place to go down the ladder, he can give an explanation to the soldiers, and King Shan Yu is naturally extremely satisfied, he follows the ladder: "So satisfied!" ”

Look, our million-strong army came over, and they took out 100,000 stone of grain, which is already all their bottom line.

And it is agreed that there will be a million stone of grain every year next year, which is enough!

The army of millions did not come in vain!

Everyone should be satisfied!

He looked at the other soldiers.

The barbarian generals gritted their teeth and said, "There must be next year and the year after next!" ”

Although Shan Yuwang's soldiers were unwilling and dissatisfied with the current requirements, they could only nod.

Millions of stone grains, at least I have a thought!

Once a person has a thought, he often has hope.

The weight of this promise is very heavy, and at least with this promise, it is much better than just taking 100,000 stone of grain back.

Work hard to survive this winter, work hard to survive this cold season, you can get millions of stone of grain, and you can have enough food and clothing, this is the idea of all barbarians.

The thought dissipated most of their fighting minds.

This commitment has met their bottom line expectations.

Suddenly, the soldiers began to nod their heads in agreement.

Seeing this, King Shan sighed in his heart.

These soldiers are really not smart!

At all, it is not as flexible as the Central Plains people.

In his opinion, this promise is a joke.

A year later, whether Zhao Xuanqi will take the million as food or not, whether he is willing to give it or not, it will be a year later.

Even if Zhao Xuanqi can't get food, he basically can't help him, and even at that time, if the grassland is beautiful and the sun is warm, everyone can already live on the grassland, who would want to go south?

People basically don't like to fight, and if they can't live on the grassland, they won't come down.

This is basically an empty deal!

I didn't expect that there was no evidence, but I could satisfy my million-strong army, and Zhao Xuanqi was also a talent.

Shan Yu Wang looked at Zhao Xuanqi with meaningful eyes, and he wanted to get this man even more for a while.

"Looks like most of them want to quit!"

"It's just that there are still a small number of people who are not satisfied!"

Zhao Xuanqi saw this.

If you are satisfied with the food, then your heating requirements will also be satisfied, and see if you can retreat!

He decided to sacrifice the killing weapon!

Add a fire to Beimang's retreat!

He immediately said: "This year is cold, even if it is already February and March, but it is still cold on the grassland, I am afraid that it will be cold in July and August, this is the cold snap in the north!" ”

"To escape the cold snap, you have to go south!"

"And it is precisely because it is too cold that there is not enough vigorous grass to feed cattle and sheep, and there is no vigorous grass to raise too many livestock, so Beimang will have no food, cold and hungry."

"We've got you covered with food."

"Now you're going to solve the problem of the cold snap."

"I have a way to relieve your cold and help you withstand the cold!"

Shan Yuwang was stunned: "What way?" ”

Zhao Xuanqi clapped his hands and made a movement, so someone in Chang'an City immediately pulled the carriage over behind him.

After this person pulled the carriage over, he immediately hurried back to Chang'an City, it was really terrifying Beimang on the other side!

There was a lump of black items piled up on the carriage.

If there are future generations here, they will definitely be able to recognize what this thing is, this is honeycomb coal!

Artifact of the Cold!

Not only is it very warm, but it also burns for a long time, if you put it in the furnace, three or four honeycomb coals can burn for most of the day, hot and long-lasting.

In this era, everyone basically burns firewood, and if you want to keep the house warm and hot, you can only add firewood to the stove continuously.

What a waste of wood!

In this cold season, when the trees are withering and there are some hungry beasts on the mountain, it is definitely not an easy task to get a lot of firewood.

Wealthy families will also buy precious coal, which is more resistant to burning than firewood, but compared to honeycomb coal, the heat is still long-lasting, which is a joke.

Honeycomb coal is definitely crushed across the ages in this era!

A few days ago, when Zhao Xuanqi sent someone to meet Shan Yuwang, he immediately asked someone to make honeycomb coal, and now it is still being made, all for today!

Zhao Xuanqi thought to himself:

On the grassland, materials are scarce, even firewood is very difficult to obtain, coal is even more difficult to obtain, and if you want to keep out the cold, you basically burn dung, which is smelly and does not keep warm, so it is naturally difficult to resist the cold.

If they have a large amount of honeycomb coal, which can help them survive the winter, the so-called looting will not happen at all!

Shan Yu Wang squinted his eyes, across the river, trying to look at the honeycomb coal on the carriage, and for a while he couldn't figure out what it was.

"What is this? Is this what can help protect me from the cold? Can my people no longer be afraid of the cold? ”

His eyes were full of suspicion, and he felt that Zhao Xuanqi was funny.

Zhao Xuanqi said very accurately: "These things are called honeycomb coal, they are made by craftsmen, they are burn-resistant and hot enough, as long as you find a stove and put a few honeycomb coals in it, you can be in a warm state all day long!" ”

"It's okay to use my empty words, you have to try it first, and you can try this honeycomb coal in the next half a day!"

Zhao Xuanqi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

No wonder Zhao Xuanqi is so confident, all of this is the answer given by history.

In the long course of history, the emergence of honeycomb coal has replaced coal and firewood.

In modern society, when the cold winter comes, ordinary people will basically use stoves and honeycomb coal for heating, and who will burn firewood and charcoal 24 hours a day.

Shan Yu Wang was moved in his heart, and tried not to lose anyway, so he immediately sent a soldier.

The soldier paddled slowly across the water in a small boat, and then returned to the camp with most of the boatload of honeycomb coal.

In addition to honeycomb coal, it also brought Zhao Xuanqi's characteristic stove, and only with the stove can the role of honeycomb coal be maximized.

In the next half a day, the Hun King thoroughly experienced the benefits of honeycomb coal.

This thing is really burn-resistant!

Although it looks small and exquisite, it has been burning for a long time, and it is hot, and with the stove, it is simply a winter artifact!

Just three or four honeycomb coals are enough for most of the day, hot and warm!

He was pleasantly surprised, and immediately shouted to the other side, "Good fellow, how many of these things do you have?" If there were enough of them, we steppe people would no longer have to be afraid of the cold! ”

"This is simply a weapon given to us by the Immortal Heaven to fight against the cold!"

Zhao Xuanqi had confidence in his eyes, and immediately said: "We only discovered this thing recently, and the quantity is not much, but I can swear to you in the name of Immortal Heaven that I will send someone to step up the production, and then make enough honeycomb coal and stoves in one order, and then transport them all to Biansai Trading City!" ”

"I can give you fifty tons, if more, you can also exchange some furs for us, after all, the people of our court also need to protect themselves from the cold, so it is impossible to give too much for nothing!"

Shan Yuwang immediately nodded: "Okay, good!" ”

He laughed and said, "With this thing, we will no longer be afraid of the cold, I agree to your request!" ”

The person next to him was also happy.

Every time the severe cold comes, it is a kind of torment for the people on the grassland, it is a nightmare, and many people will be frozen to death by the cold!

They even call the cold night the polar night, the eternal night, which means that if they sleep too hard in the night, otherwise the cold wind will come, and they may never wake up again and never see the next morning, which is used to express their fear of the cold night.

With this honeycomb coal, you can definitely reduce a lot of casualties!

You can definitely have a warm cold season next!

In this regard, Beimang is very satisfied with this ending!

Not only did I get food, but I also got a heating weapon, which was worth the trip!

Next, Zhao Xuanqi sent people to transport 100,000 stone of grain, and when the Beimang army got 100,000 stone of grain, they decided to retreat completely, and everyone up and down no longer had the will to fight.

Shan Yu Wang looked at Zhao Xuanqi and said across the riverbank: "You are really a genius, I am willing to marry you as a brother with a different surname!" ”

Zhao Xuanqi said politely: "The king is like this, I am naturally willing!" ”

Shan Yu Wang showed a bright smile on his face, very satisfied with this compliment, he waved his hand: "Okay, let's swear by cutting horses, and agree that after today, you and I will be brothers with different surnames, this time I promise you to step down, and you must also deliver millions of stone grain to our Beimang every year!" ”

"If you break this oath, then the Immortal Heaven will not forgive you, and the eagle of the grassland will return here!"

Zhao Xuanqi raised his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need!" ”

He immediately jumped off his horse, and in front of Beimang's million-strong army, he simply drew his sword and killed the white horse!

He kicked the body of the white horse into the river, staining the river red.

In fact, Beimang also has a bit of conspiracy.

Without horses, Zhao Xuanqi could only walk back, and it was very likely that he would be pursued by Beimang soldiers across the river and thus die.

Zhao Xuanqi considered this possibility, but immediately ruled out this idea.

This big river is very close to Chang'an City, and it is separated by a wide river, even if Zhao Xuanqi has no horses, if Beimang really dares to send troops to cross the river to chase and kill, the 50,000 imperial army hidden next to him will immediately rush out to protect him, and give the Beimang army in Bandu a fatal blow!

That's why Zhao Xuanqi didn't hesitate to kill the white horse and agreed to King Shan Yu's oath, he felt that King Shan Yu would not do such a stupid thing.

King Shan Yu did not have a conspiracy, he saw Zhao Xuanqi kill the white horse, he also ordered someone to take out a white horse, and without hesitation, he hacked the white horse to death with a long knife, and also threw the horse carcass into the river.

In this way, the sacrifice is offered, the blue sky is visible, the river is visible, and this time the oath is successful!

Kill the white horse as a covenant, that is the alliance of the white horse!

King Shan Yu was satisfied with the return of a million cavalry, and headed in the direction of the grassland.

The dense soldiers were pressed together, retreating like a tide, thousands of horses galloping, a scene of the sky falling apart, just the retreat of the army can produce such a big movement, and the dust flew into the sky.

Zhao Xuanqi's figure looked short at this moment, standing alone by the river, watching the retreat of the million army opposite, he let out a long sigh of relief.

He stroked his back, only to realize that he was already sweating and covered in cold sweat.

In the final analysis, Zhao Xuanqi is just a person after all, talking to hundreds of thousands of cavalry in front of Beimang, who is so vicious, and it is false to say that he is not afraid.

You must know that ordinary people will be afraid to give a speech in front of more than ten or twenty teachers and students, let alone Zhao Xuanqi, who is in front of a dozen or two hundred thousand fierce enemies?

It's just that for the sake of his family and country, Zhao Xuanqi must show a fearless appearance.

With the family and country behind you, life and death aside, all fears have disappeared!

Now after completely settling the negotiations, Zhao Xuanqi relaxed, his whole body was already soaked, and he realized that he was tired and tired.

"It's like a dream, I can't believe that I actually succeeded."

Zhao Xuanqi felt like a world away, feeling that he was dreaming, and his ears clearly heard the sound of the horse's hooves going away, so he dared to believe that he had really succeeded, he had really done it, and the million cavalry had really retreated!

How can you be sure of victory? No one in the world can have 100% confidence, not even him, when he came out, he was ready to fail, but fortunately, everything succeeded!

He opened his hands, enjoying the joy of success and feeling the slight cold wind.

Put your hands together and become your own god.

With his hands outstretched, he stood shoulder to shoulder with the gods

He only felt that he was like a god at this moment!

……

"Beimang has retreated!"

"The barbarians have really retreated!"

"Look, everyone, they're really back!"

"Brother, am I dazzled, you hurry up and pinch me to see if I'm dreaming!"

Behind the small slopes around Chang'an City, the soldiers hidden in it couldn't help but let out shocked sounds.

Many of them wiped their eyes in disbelief as they watched the million barbarians retreat like this.

Many soldiers in the Imperial Forest Army have fought at the border pass, and they are all veterans who have retired from the border pass, and they naturally know that the barbarians are cruel and terrible.

The barbarians often go south to plunder, burning, killing and plundering, and the cavalry is even more ferocious, coming and going like the wind, good at riding and shooting, and belongs to the first-class cavalry in the world.

Every time the imperial court blocked the barbarians from going south, even if it was only four or five thousand barbarians, the imperial court had to spend huge energy and costs, and the soldiers at the border gates had to spend many lives to succeed in blocking them.

But today, but now, this is not four or five thousand barbarians, this is a million barbarian iron horses!

Beimang, who is known as a million iron horsemen, went south, came to loot violently, and retreated like this, and was stopped by a person on the bank of the river to say a few words, and retreated like this!

There was no fighting, no fighting, just retreating, just retreating!

All this broke the soldiers' three views.

Zhao Wuxing stood on the hillside and pinched his thigh fiercely, it hurt!

His tears were about to come out of the pain!

It's true!

Not a dream!

Marshal Zhao really did it!

He really single-handedly retreated the million-strong army of barbarians without bloodshed, which is simply a miracle!

No, he is God!

On the wall of the Great Wall, inside the high city wall, Princess Xiaoyao pulled the little emperor, and when she saw Beimang retreating, she clenched her fists excitedly!

The little emperor's hand was held tightly, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain: "Auntie, you relax a little, you are so tight, the grip hurts me, it's all swollen!" ”

Princess Xiaoyao came back to her senses: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my aunt's fault, it was so comfortable just now, my aunt was so excited, I didn't hold back and used a lot of strength." ”

She let go.

The woman's face flushed, her delicate cheeks flushed with excitement, and she gazed at the figure beside the river, watching the million-strong army on the other side retreat.

Suddenly, it felt like a million-strong army was nothing more than that.

The figure of that person seems to be small, but it seems to trample a huge river under his feet, but it seems to trample a million armies under his feet, and everything seems to be insignificant in front of him......

With tears in her eyes, she said:

"He really succeeded!"

"Unexpectedly, the army of millions was forced back without blood!"

"Chang'an City is defended, and all of us are safe!"

When the news entered the city, hundreds of people in Chang'an City cheered and ran to tell each other excitedly.

They can't believe that the catastrophe that is coming to them will disappear like this!

It seems that when all disasters come, Marshal Zhao is the one who can be relied on, whether it is the Wandering Army or the Beimang Army, he can protect the people of Chang'an City intact!

Kill the white horse as an alliance and retreat a million troops alone!

At this moment, everyone worships Zhao Xuanqi as a god!
