The nights on the prairie in winter are so cold that even the usually lively and active prairie rats have all retracted into the ground at this moment, and their pointed heads are hard to see. Liu Yu turned around and wanted to go back the same way to find his team, but was pulled by Li Jing and said, "You have suffered so many injuries, if you are met by Yelu Shilu's people, can you still run?" Liu Yu listened to her words and had to stop.

Li Jing patted the BMW, and the horse understood what she meant, and obediently bent her legs and lay down. The two leaned on the horse, using it as a shield against the cold winds of the winter night. However, in the second half of the night, the grassland was too cold, and even the grass blades were frosted. The two were not allowed to lean together to keep warm, Li Jingzhi's lips turned white, and her body curled up.

Seeing this, Liu Yu hurriedly took off his leather jacket, draped it on her, and said embarrassedly: "There are sword holes and blood on this jacket, you must not dislike it." Li Jing was anxious to take it off and return it to him, and said with a fake anger: "Stupid, you scarred person, you should take care of yourself first." ”

Liu Yu stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "I am a gentleman, I should take care of you." Li Jing's face was very disdainful after hearing this, and she sneered: "Yo! Then why did it be a girl of mine who saved you tonight." ”

Liu Yu scratched his head and said, "That's it, I have to thank you for tonight's events! But how did you find it, didn't you go to find your old family member of the Dubo Department?"

Li Jing said: "Sensei, what an old family, an old man from a tribe came, and his personality was as boring as yours." He and I didn't even finish a jar of wine, so we couldn't help but slap our butts and leave. Later, on the way, I heard the news that the Yelu clan and the Haruka clan were fighting, so I hurried over.

"Unexpectedly, halfway through, I met a bronze horse, and I followed him quietly. Later I noticed that he was following a caravan from a distance, but he didn't come close. My horse was faster than him, and I quietly overtook him, but he still noticed it, and followed me. I rode all the way to the caravan, and when I found that the man in the caravan was you, I quickly fled with you, or I would have been caught by the bronze horse. ”

Liu Yu said: "Do you think that the relationship between Princess Liu Ge and the Bronze Horse is extraordinary? The Bronze Horse has been following the caravan this time, I'm afraid it's just to protect her." Li Jing shrugged her shoulders and pouted: "What's so strange about this, that woman Brother Liu is a vixen, and any man who sees her is fascinated, and he is willing to live and die for her." ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said: "No, I always feel that Tongma is not that kind of person, women don't confuse him so easily, there must be some plan between him and Brother Liu?"

Li Jing broke his head, faced him, and said, "Tell me honestly, do you like Brother Liu?" Liu Yu said: "I don't have it!" Li Jing said: "You lie to people! Only if you like someone, you don't want others to like him."

Liu Yu said: "That's you, not me!" Li Jing said: "Then tell me well, what does the bronze horse want to do? ”

She said and took out a red book from the inner pocket of the leather jacket that Liu Yu put on her body, it was the book "Six Army Mirrors", Liu Yu was shocked when he saw it, he forgot about the book.

She said: "I heard people say before that the bronze horse broke into the camp of Yao Rantai, killed Wei Tunan, and took away the book of the Six Army Mirrors. This book is actually with you now, did he give it to you, have you forgotten the revenge of the murderer?"

Liu Yu nodded heavily and said, "Yes, he gave me this book." But he has always been my enemy, and I have never forgotten that. In his words, it was just a deal between me and him, and his plan was to ...... It is necessary to let the two major forces of the Yaoran clan and the Yelu clan consume each other, and weaken them to the point that they cannot be enemies of the Central Plains. ”

Li Jing said angrily when he heard this: "Isn't it a little too ruthless for him to do this! So you listened to him, helped Yao Yuantai to fight, and let the Khitans consume each other?"

Liu Yu couldn't face her question directly, and replied instead: "If Yelu Shilu unifies the Khitan grassland, he will inevitably invade the south, and it will be a great disaster for the people of the Central Plains." ”

Li Jing threw the book "Mirror of the Six Armies" on the ground, and said angrily: "You Central Plains people are human beings, so aren't we Hu people human, who can be more noble than others?

Liu Yu picked up the book from the ground, bowed his head and was silent for a moment, and said: "Whoever kills is wrong, and the common people are innocent." Since you say so, I'm not going to help any of them from now on. ”

Li Jing sighed and said, "What's the use of you talking about this now, Yelu Shilu's strength is not as good as before after this defeat." I am afraid that the battle between him and the Yao Yin clan will have to be consumed for a long time, and I don't know how many people will make the white bones under this sweat position. ”

Liu Yu said: "Now there is no one on the grassland who can particularly convince the public, otherwise everyone will support him, and this battle will not have to be fought." Li Jing smiled and said: "Your idea has become fast, you were unwilling to let Yelu Shilu call Khan before, but now you hope that there will be a strong man on the grassland who can convince the public, is my words so useful to you?"

Liu Yu glanced at her and said, "My words are not finished yet, if there is really such a person, I will go to negotiate with him and make him promise never to invade the Central Plains." Li Jing sneered and said, "You are really stupid, you think things too simply." For those in high positions, only profit is the only reliable promise. ”

Liu Yu clenched his fists and said, "If he dares to break his promise and go south to invade the Central Plains, I will find a way to assassinate him!" Li Jing smiled: "What kind of story are we talking about, the people who can dominate the grassland now, I'm afraid there is not even a single figure, what do you think of this woman, Brother Liu? She has won over a large number of people's hearts." ”

Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "She shouldn't be able to." Li Jing said: "I think so too, I have never heard of anyone who can rely on beauty to govern the country." Even her move to rescue those people from the Baoyue Mountain Great Array, I also felt that it was a trick. ”

Liu Yu nodded and said, "If she is really involved with the Bronze Horse, then the way she led people out of the battle at that time should be what the Bronze Horse told her." Li Jing exclaimed: "The Great Array of Baoyue Mountain, which killed more than 50,000 people, was actually set up by the Bronze Horse?"

Liu Yu nodded and said, "It should be, we happened to break into the tiger mound at that time and avoided the big array, otherwise I am afraid that we will also die in the array." Li Jing stood up from the ground, called the horse and was about to leave. Liu Yu said: "What are you going to do?" Li Jing said angrily: "Find him to settle accounts!"

Liu Yu said: "You can't beat him now!" Li Jing said: "I don't want him to compete, I am going to help Yao Yuantai win this war, help him ascend the throne as Khan, and then wave his army to attack Chang'an and destroy the Li Tang court behind the bronze horse." ”

Liu Yu grabbed her and said loudly: "If you do this, what is the difference between it and the copper horse!?" Li Jing pushed his hand away, turned over on the horse's back, and said: "The blood debt must be repaid in blood, since he killed so many Khitans and killed my master, then I will return all these pains to him!"

Liu Yu persuaded: "But in the end, it is the common people who suffer, and you may not have this ability." Li Jing pondered for a moment, rolled her eyes, and said, "Maybe there is another way, and there is no need to kill many people." ”

Liu Yu asked, "What's the solution?" Li Jing said: "You have won this battle tonight, there should be many people in the Yao Yuan clan who will obey you, so it is better for you to take the opportunity to call it sweat." At that time, you will be in charge of the eight Khitan tribes, on the one hand, you no longer have to worry about the Khitans will casually invade the south and harass the people of the Central Plains. On the other hand, you can also use the men and horses in your hands to help me take a breath of evil, grab that bronze horse, cut him with a thousand knives, and avenge those dead Khitans, as well as our two masters!"

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "The great revenge must be avenged! But I don't have the ability to be a khan." In fact, the reason why I was able to win this battle tonight was because I took the advice of many ordinary soldiers.

Ah Bao and Ah Tai came up with a way to use butter torches to pretend to be Tibetans, and they took more than 1,000 people to prepare a large number of butter torches, laid an ambush there early, and lit more than 30,000 torches at the right opportunity during the war. When the Yelu men saw so many torches, they thought that there were many Tibetans to help them in the battle, and they would be frightened and retreated. ”

Li Jing smiled: "That's not bad, it's enough for someone to help you come up with ideas, and there is also a book "Six Army Mirrors" that can teach you to fight." Liu Yu sighed: "Forget it, I am a Han, how can I be the Khitan Khan." Li Jing tilted her head to look at him from the horse, her pigtails hung down diagonally, and said, "You haven't tried it again, how do you know it's not good?"

Liu Yu replied: "Forget it, I understand what kind of person I am, I know that I don't have such great ability and not so much interest. According to me, we might as well make mistakes now and continue to assist my Sixth Master Khan. I know who he is, although he has plundered back those Han people from the Central Plains, he has never mistreated them like other Khitan generals. If he weighs Khan, I will persuade him again, and maybe he will listen to me and stop invading south. As for the bronze horse, he killed my eldest master, second master, and your master, he is our common enemy, and the two of us will slowly find a way to deal with him together. ”

Li Jing sighed, she saw that the sky was already bright, and it was estimated that the Yelu clan's men and horses had withdrawn, so she said, "Since you are so insistent, then listen to you." She stretched out her hand to Liu Yu, "Get on the horse!" The two of them rode away on their BMWs, and by noon, they had galloped hundreds of miles on the vast Khitan grassland, and finally found the tent of the Yao Yuan clan at the foot of a small hill.

Chi Hu was indeed not an outstanding general, and under his arrangement, hundreds of tents were scattered disheveledly at the foot of the mountain, all of which were devoid of the strict rules of the time when Yao Yuan Tai was there. After a big battle, the men and horses were very difficult, and even the four soldiers standing guard at the gate of the camp also shrank their heads in their shoulder sockets and dozed off.

Liu Yu wanted to wake up one of the soldiers and let him go in to report. Li Jing motioned for him not to do this, and the two rode into the camp on horseback. Not far from the two of them entering the camp gate, one of the sentries was awakened by the sound of broken horses' hooves. The man screamed, and the other three woke up, and surrounded him with spears.

Seeing this, Li Jing hurriedly pulled out her double knives and aimed them at the four of them. However, when the four saw that Liu Yu was among the people on the horse, they hurriedly abandoned their spears to the ground and worshiped happily in front of the horse. Liu Yu hurriedly jumped off the horse and helped the four of them up.

At this moment, Chi Hu heard the voice, and he rushed out surrounded by several soldiers, his face still sleepy-eyed. As soon as he saw Liu Yu, his face immediately changed from surprise to joy, and he stepped forward and hugged him tightly.

He was stunned when he saw Li Jing beside Liu Yu. Liu Yu said: "This is my friend. When Li Jing heard this, she glanced at him dissatisfied. Liu Yu hurriedly added three words, "Good friend!" When Chi Hu heard this, he immediately welcomed her into the main tent.

Liu Yu's return surprised the soldiers, and the only worry after a great victory disappeared without a trace. They came out of their tents one after another, and made three outer floors outside the main tent.

Chi Hugang insisted on giving the main tent to Liu Ju to live, but Liu Ju insisted on refusing, and then chose a small tent near the main tent, and Li Jing's tent was next to each other intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, there was no alcohol in the barracks, so the atmosphere was quite cold. These Khitan soldiers did not want to sweep away Liu Yu's excitement, and at night, they sang and danced around the bonfire one by one. Li Jing smiled and said to Liu Yu: "It seems that you are really popular in the army. Liu Yu said: "That's because I am willing to listen to them and drink with them, while those generals will only order them." ”

Li Jing said: "We Khitan people also have good generals who can raise soldiers. It just so happened that there were no in the camp of Yaorantai, and there were several of them there, but it was a pity that he was too rigid to listen to the opinions of these generals. ”

Liu Yu said: "So you mean, we still can't despise them?" Li Jing said: "Yes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Yelu Shilu has not yet reached the point of failure, but has just fallen into the dirt pit." He learned the lesson of this time, and sooner or later he will be able to climb out. ”

In the following ten days, the two of them often worked together, and they spent much more time together than the previous days combined. After Liu Yu recovered from his injuries, he often went out to hunt with Li Jing and the soldiers, and the prey he brought back became the roast food for everyone around the campfire at night. Chi Huhu refused to go with him, and according to his words, "As a general, you must maintain a minimum of majesty, and you must not let the soldiers look down on you." ”

But every time Liu Yu returned to the camp with the soldiers, he would always stand at the gate of the camp, waiting to give him a big hug. This war has strengthened the friendship between the two a lot. Chi Hu said to him more than once, "If the third prince knew that you had won such a big battle, he would definitely be very happy, and he would definitely reward you heavily!" After hearing this, Liu Yu looked at Li Jing and smiled.

Such a dull and happy day ended before a heavy snowfall. The goose feathers and snow continued to fall, and by the next day it was several feet thick. Liu Yu and Chi Hugang led a large army to brave the wind and snow and migrated to the west of the grassland. The climate is warmer and there is good pasture for grazing.

This walk was several days, and when the army passed by Baoyue Mountain, Liu Yu ordered everyone to stop. Seeing this, Chi Hu hurriedly came to inquire, and Liu Yu said: "The body of the Sticky Bead Khan has not been buried so far, so we still find him out and hold a funeral for him." ”

Chi Hulu hesitated: "It stands to reason that this should be a very appropriate thing, but I am afraid that this will delay the time, so we will not be able to get out in this snowstorm." There were not many cattle and sheep left with the army, only enough for the army to support half a month. ”

Liu Yu said: "No matter how nervous you are, it's not bad for half a day." If even the people of the Yao Yuan clan are unwilling to hold a funeral for the first khan, then how can the other tribes obey us, and how will they look at you?"

Chi Hu was silent, and then led the army back into the Baoyue Mountain array. At Li Jing's suggestion, everyone left many marks on the snow along the way, so that they could find their way out when they came out.

Everyone found the body of the Sticky Khan under a pile of rocks, the body was rotten to the bones, only the gorgeous shirt was still brilliant. Li Jing was quite emotional, and said to Liu Yu: "You see, the Sticky Khan is noble I, and he can't even take away a shirt after his death. Liu Yu sighed: "Everyone understands the truth, but no one can do it." ”

Li Jing flashed her eyes and asked, "Then can you do it?" Liu Yu said: "I'm a stupid person, even if I can do it, others won't learn from me." ”

The rotting smell of the corpse of the sticky bead khan rushed to their noses, and everyone couldn't help but pinch their noses when they approached. Seeing this, Liu Yu sighed, and he turned his head to Chi Hu and asked, "The Khans on the grassland, what kind of funeral do they usually use after death?" Chi Hu replied, "Cremation." ”

Liu Yu then ordered the soldiers to hold up a pile of firewood, and personally picked up the body of the sticky bead Khan and put it on top of the firewood. Li Jing pinched her nose and said, "Oh, I'm afraid you can't have this dress." ”

Liu Yu was silent, he took the torch from one of the soldiers and lit the pyre. The fire grew stronger and stronger, and melted away all the snow on the ground around it. Some of the people who were standing far behind with their noses pinched their noses came over to keep warm.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yu's heart couldn't help but feel cold, "These people are all living for themselves, and they don't take others seriously. The corpse of the Sticky Khan was so stinky that they refused to come closer. At this time, the fire was warm, but they all came over to roast it. If the people of the Yao Ran clan all think like this, how can they still fight against Yelu Shilu?"

Li Jing saw that he was in a daze, so he walked over and stretched out his five fingers and shook them in front of his eyes, and said, "Fool, what are you thinking?" Liu Yu said: "No...... I didn't think about anything!" At this moment, a cold wind blew in the snow, blowing the flames on the pyre, and he felt very cold, and he couldn't help but shiver. (To be continued.) )
