Deep in the Gobi Desert in the North,

Next to Bibo Lake,

The breeze brings a faint scent of poplar wood, rippling the surface of the lake, and the pale yellow leaves rattling.

"Your Highness is full?"

Ma Youliang rolled up his trouser leg and was spearing fish by the lake, the fish meat in red willow wood by the fire on the shore was shiny, a burnt smell filled the air, and there was a pile of gnawed clean fish bones beside him.

"I'm full. ”

Xu Xian held the grass roots in his mouth and pillowed his hands behind his head, the remaining Liangzhou iron cavalry in the distance was resting, the war horse was drinking water by the lake and snorting happily, the cloth was dipped in water and gently wiped the blood stains on the iron halberd, the water bladder around his waist had been filled with the water of the blue lake, and the bag had been filled with dried meat.

"Your Highness, just eat your fill. ”

"The whole army still needs to rest for a while, I'll go over there. ”

Ma Youliang pointed to the poplar tree not far away.

"The silly boy in the same village, the last time he returned to his hometown, he was shouting to join the army, I saw that he had a strong body and a few strengths, and his wife begged hard to answer. ”

Looking at Xu Xian's suspicious eyes, Lao Ma explained.

Look closer,

Under the shade of the poplar tree, a pawn was taking out a rope and tying it very seriously, and if you looked closely, there were already three or five knots on the thick rope.

"Liu Er, what are you doing stupid boy?"

The old horse took a bite of jerky, leaned in and looked down for a long time without understanding, and then patted his head.

"Horse ...... Uncle Ma!"

"Mr. Ma!"

The pawn hurriedly put away the rope and saluted with his fists.

"Don't mind, you continue with yours, I'll see. ”

Ma Youliang also minded, and sat down next to Liu Er.

"The kid didn't read and couldn't count, so he relied on this to write down a few barbarian heads. ”

"Naturally, someone in the army wrote it down, why did you bother with it. ”

Ma Youliang stretched his waist and spoke.

"I'm not afraid I won't be able to remember. ”

"Then you kid can, so you can kill five brutes. ”

Ma Youliang glanced at it and was slightly surprised, there were a lot of barbarians killed on this trip to the north, but women, children, and children accounted for the majority, and those who were not counted in military merits were not counted, that is to say, this stupid boy in front of him killed at least a dozen barbarians silently.

"A barbarian soldier's head can be exchanged for seven taels of silver when he goes back, Uncle Ma, you know, my brother died early, and my old mother always talked to me before joining the army to ask for an aunt to continue the incense for our old Liu family. ”

"My mother took a fancy to the daughter of Zhang's butcher's family, and I also secretly took a look twice, both in appearance and temperament, his father heard that I was in the army without saying a word, and he responded in one bite, and he also said that as long as I was a butcher for a day, the oil and water in my Liu family's pot would be indispensable. ”

"I thought about going back from the army, bringing the dowry to the door, and I had to buy a spacious house to take my wife over to live together. ”

"My wife also said that the in-laws are righteous, and our Liu family also has to use a sedan chair to carry the girl into our Liu family, so that the girl can not be wronged. ”

Liu Er scratched his head a little innocently.

"The dowry is easy to say, but the thirty taels of silver added up to this spacious house are not enough. ”

Ma Youliang smacked his lips.

"If you can't make up the number at that time, squeak, Uncle Ma will make up for your kid. ”

"No Uncle Ma, there is still a string. ”

Seeing this, Liu Er scratched his head a little crampedly, took out a rope from his waist, and handed it to Ma Youliang beside him.

"Hey, you kid can do it!"

Ma Youliang put down the cigarette stick in his hand and counted the knots in front of him.

"Eight, counting the five just now, a total of thirteen!"

"Your kid has made a fortune, and there is still a big house in and three out in the countryside this time. ”

"When the time comes, Uncle Ma will have to ask for a cup of wine to drink. ”

"Cheng, if the old lady knew that Uncle Ma was coming, she might not know what she would be happy to be. ”

Liu Er was overjoyed when he heard this.

The two chatted like this, and the old horse smoked two puffs of dry tobacco from time to time and was full of emotion, and before he knew it, the silly boy in the village could also go into battle to kill the enemy.

"Let's go, Your Highness is still waiting. ”

Ma Youliang glanced up at the sky, put away the cigarette stick, patted his buttocks and walked towards Xu Xian.

"Uncle Ma!"

Just a few steps away,

Liu Er hesitated for a moment, and then stopped Ma Youliang.

"Uncle Ma, there are two letters here that the kid asked someone to write, if the kid has any accidents, please bring one to the old lady and one to the girl. Liu Er took out two letters from his arms, held them in both hands and handed them to Ma Youliang very solemnly.

"You stupid boy, we're going to kill the barbarians. ”

"It's so easy to die. ”

"I keep it myself, I don't need it. ”

"Uncle Ma, maybe I've used it. ”

"I can't help but give my mother an explanation, and I can't let the girl wait. ”

Liu Er grinned, smiling like the two fools in the village.

But Ma Youliang is indeed inexplicably sour.

"We don't want this in the Liangzhou army!"

"I'm still waiting to drink the wedding wine, don't lose your Uncle Ma's face!"

Ma Youliang waved his hand and continued to walk forward, Liu Er muttered, and put the letter back to his body, Ma Youliang's words just now inexplicably warmed his heart.

"Five thousand people have died in the last few days. ”

Ma Youliang sat next to Xu Xian and sighed, although they are all good fights, they are tens of thousands of barbarians, not to mention that there are immortals in wars.

"Dead now, so that there will be fewer dead people later. ”

Xu Xian got up, and the sword rattled at his waist.

"After stepping on the barbarian golden horde, from now on, the entire rear of Liangzhou will be completely stabilized. ”

"When people are old, they just sigh for a while. ”

"There is no immortal in war. ”

Ma Youliang patted his leg.

"It's only a few hundred miles away from the Golden Horde, and if you count the horsepower, you can get there tomorrow. ”

Ma Youliang looked further north and sighed a little, in the big tent, he was just thinking about beating the barbarians, but now he went directly to the old nest of others.

"Uncle Ma, let's divide the troops. ”

After a long time, Xu Xian spoke.

"Division?"

Ma Youliang was a little surprised.

"Now that the Huer tribe has been slaughtered, a lot of barbarians have run out, and the news is naturally impossible to hide, but this is okay, Uncle Ma, you lead the army to lead away the main force of the barbarians, and I will take the guards and heavy armored iron horses to the Golden Horde. ”

"Sikong's predecessors will disguise themselves as me and follow me in the army. ”

"What's more, if we really want to fight, our remaining more than 40,000 Liangzhou iron horsemen can't compete with so many barbarians. ”

"No way!"

"Your Highness is alone, what if something happens?"

"If you insist on dividing the troops, I will also take people to the Golden Horde. ”

"The son of a daughter, don't sit down. ”

Ma Youliang replied with a mouthful.

"Where there are so many accidents, even if there are so many masters beside me, not to mention that there are old Qiu seniors in charge, it is a failure, and I can come back with all my tails. ”

Xu Xian looked at the Liangzhou Erlang who was resting and sighed a little.

There is another sentence buried in the bottom of my heart without opening,

Dividing the army can also kill a little less.

This battle has reached the point where it can make the barbarians break their muscles and bones no matter what, and they will not have the idea of going south.

But I'm not reconciled,

Before going on the expedition, he said that he would not pay it back if he didn't break the golden tent, and he still wanted to pee farther than anyone on the golden tent!

"Your Highness!"

"Uncle Ma doesn't need to say much, it's decided!"

Xu Xian said resolutely,

Thousands of red-clothed and black-armored guards turned over their horses, and the iron armor rattled,

More than 1,200 Liangzhou heavy armor iron riders with one person and two horses,

The eyes are cold, and the iron halberd is cold.

"Uncle Ma, you just have to drag the barbarian and wait for me to bring the head of the barbarian king to see you. ”

Xu Xian clamped the horse's belly, and the iron rider behind him followed him like a long dragon.
