Chapter 2 Lost on a snowy night, the battle array knows the bright moon

After saying goodbye to the mad people, the group of the Le people went all the way north along the beacon tower, the camel walked slowly, walked for a few days, only to see the stone forest, crossed the first line of the stone forest, and then walked for more than ten days, then arrived at the Soyu River, a hundred miles away, is the Tiele Mountain.

Although Saibei is desolate and empty, it is the familiar atmosphere of home. The eldest fellow was very happy, and when he saw that it was dark, he found a leeward place to camp and rest, and the younger people were even more excited, and danced a toast around the bonfire.

Zhenyuan settled down and sat by the bonfire, but he felt that the weather outside the gate was abnormally cold this year, it should have been a crisp autumn and the weather was at the beginning of the year, but suddenly there were dark clouds and a biting wind. I don't know the snowflakes are falling.

"Tiege, quickly greet the clansmen, have some food, this weather is abnormal, don't encounter an abnormal white-haired day."

When Tiege heard this, his hairs stood up, and he was not afraid of hardship and tiredness when traveling, and he was most afraid of encountering white hair, quicksand and wandering thieves. When it snows heavily, the sky and the earth are colorful, and it is most likely to lose one's way, and the snow is so thick that the camels with heavy loads cannot walk at all. "Hurry up, little boys, get up and hurry." There are still more than ten days to go, and I have to rush to the Soyu River and see Tiele Mountain to ensure that I will arrive home on time this year.

Everyone walked in the snow for most of the night, out of the first line of gorge, tired, the wind was very tight, and they were all so cold that their ears and eyes were red, "Leader, why don't you take a break, the big guy is tired enough", Tiege said after walking two steps quickly.

"No, we have to go at night, everyone gets off the camel and walks, the snow is slippery, we have to save the strength of the cattle's feet, and rest until dawn, otherwise if the sun comes up, the snow is dazzling, and it will be difficult to get home with a pair of tricks." ”

The crowd staggered forward, and the snow grew heavier. The cold wind was howling, and at this time, there was a faint rumbling sound in the wind, which gradually became clear, rapid and intensive, and the group changed their faces, "It's not good, it's the sound of horses' hooves, fast, fast, fast, on guard, camels, camels are on the ground, fence up, fence up, don't blow up the nest", the clansmen immediately pulled out the short knives and bows and arrows hidden at the bottom of the cargo box, crouched behind the camels, and stared in the direction of the horses' hooves.

A group of about 300 horsemen, all of them are black-clothed iron armor, across the hard bow, covered with feather arrows, holding a long knife, the first knight holds a flag, the word "Li" is written on the book, look at the armor flag, it is obvious that the Wei army is a fine horse, the iron horse is suffixed with a lot of Hu horses, making a roaring sound, feather arrows are like rain, and from time to time someone falls off the horse.

The people of the Ele people were shocked, and they all thought in their hearts that they were "finished", and they did not intend to stray into the army, no matter what the final outcome was, they could not escape being looted and became prisoners of the victors.

When the "Li" word banner walked to a stone's throw away from the camel caravan, the two sides finally saw each other's faces, came to ride all the wind and frost, the blood of the iron-armored long knife was not dry, the mouth and nose of the people and horses were white, and one person in the formation suddenly waved his hand, shouted, "receive", come to ride and stop at the same time, as if he was one, showing a very strong horse control technique and strict order, "Yu", the order just stopped, the iron horse at the same time took off the iron shield on the horse, turned the horse body, protected the head and face of the war horse, "crossbow" The knights pulled out the crossbow from the right side of the war horse, a burst of shooting, a crossbow and ten arrows, and the Hu cavalry behind him suddenly burst out with a puff of blood, chasing the momentum immediately, "bow", hanging the crossbow and drawing the bow, and it was a dense rain of arrows, dozens of Hu horses fell down the horse, and the rest screamed, but they did not dare to enter, quite fearful.

At this time, the ironclad cavalry quickly flew out of the six horses, the three horsemen ignored the people of Eile, and galloped straight towards the direction of the first line of the gorge, and the remaining three horsemen rushed towards the Eile caravan, Zhenyuan immediately clenched the short knife, and the clansmen controlled the strings and arrows, just waiting for an order, they were going to shoot the three horsemen over, "and slow", Zhenyuan shouted loudly, "Come and ride without a blade, and see what they want."

"Li San, the general in the next big Wei, the friend in front, please come out and speak", the one in the middle is riding Yuanyue Zhi, the body is majestic, and the eyebrows are handsome.

"We are just passing through the business trip, unexpectedly strayed into the battle formation, please be merciful to the general, a few days ago just returned home from the Beiliang Pass, has been signed by Pan Shuang Pan Shou General to get out of the Guan, I hope the general will let me go, I have supported the Great Wei for generations, and I hope the general will be gracious", Zhenyuan got up and took out the document and raised his hands above his head.

"Celestial?" said the man in a whisper.

"With the approval of General Pan, what I want to say is true, but there are thousands of horses in the rear, and it is expected that you will not be able to retreat with your whole body, if you and us fight the enemy together, there may still be a glimmer of life", to get off the horse, into the people of the Ele tribe.

The person who came was magnificent, and the battle behind him was endless, but there was no cowardice and depression, and he was a good man, who came to sit down on a big rock at will, and the other two people were on the left and right, guarding the guard.

"Tiege, open a jar of spirits and pour a bowl for the three generals to keep warm." Zhenyuan expected that he couldn't be good easily, and only expected to leave the clan after drinking.

"Okay", the three of them took the wine bowl and finished it in one gulp, and the side general who claimed to be Li San sighed: "It's my authentic autumn dew, I don't want to be able to drink such strong liquor in this Saibei, happy", and patted Zhenyuan on the shoulder, "I want to come and transport it all the way to the cost, I don't know how many jars of spirits there are?" Zhenyuan and Tiege and other clansmen glanced at each other, and sighed in their hearts, it was easy to spend a lot of money on some good wine from thousands of miles away, and they were first drunk by the crazy people all the way to several altars, now they all have to honor these military masters, the sky is pitiful, forget it, it is important to save your life, and then said: "The general sees it, and there are more than ten altars in total."

"Cunyi, quickly collect the soldiers' water bladders, fill them with spirits, quickly, and then move all the cotton and linen cloth in the caravan", Li San turned his head and ordered, not to be ignored.

"Oh", the young general called Cunyi immediately returned on horseback, and after a while, he galloped with twenty or thirty fast horses, while ordering the people to fill wine, and on the other hand, all the cotton and linen cloth on the camel were taken out and opened, Zhenyuan and Tiege were eager to bite the steel teeth, and trembled in anger.

"This leader, you didn't ask for advice...?"

"Ele clan, Hulu Zhenyuan", Zhenyuan replied.

"Good man, Hu Lu leader, today's battle situation is urgent, and you can't temporarily levy your goods. Ben will promise to give the nobles a thousand times the compensation, Rouran people are ferocious devouring and killing, as far as this general knows, you are all oppressed by Rouran, you support the Great Wei, but also should work together, please the nobles, the cloth is soaked in spirits, unfold the five horses together into a rope, tighten the two ends of the camel's neck respectively, form a team of ten, wait for my order, ignite and drive forward.

"Well, good", Zhenyuan was powerless to answer.

Another ten men were sent to take the horns of our army with them, and they went to the first line of gorges, and blew the horns at the junction, where the valley was long and narrow, and the echoes were very loud, which could create momentum. If there is a Wei army around, I may rush to help when I hear the sound, and the rest of the personnel will go into battle with me to kill the enemy. Li San spoke very quickly and without question.

"It seems that Mingzhe is almost impossible to protect his body, alas, it's a pity that my camel and these strong people are the life of the tribe", Zhenyuan thought about dripping blood in his heart.

"Tiege, the babies, listen to General Li, the youngest ten babies take the horn to the first line of the gorge, the rest of the older ones are in the front, the younger ones are in the back, Tiege and I are in the forefront, if we unfortunately die in battle, the babies will flee for their lives, so I can leave a living person to go back to Tiele Mountain to report a message, let my mother-in-law say to my little cub, his father can't go back, if you see the gap, be sure to grab the horse and slip away, it is important to save your life, remember", Zhenyuan quietly ordered.

Although the clansmen were at a loss, they listened to the leader's words and knew that if they didn't fight hard in the first battle, they would have little physiology, so the dozen or so young clansmen nodded vigorously, took the horn, and quickly rushed to the first line of the gorge.

"Sons, draw out our scimitar, take our strong bow, and drive away the robbers of Rouran, General Li, no matter whether you win or lose, please treat my people well, they live in the hinterland of Tiele Mountain."

"Okay, Leader Hulu, I promise you." Li San smashed the wine bowl, got on the horse, "Wait for my order."

Li San returned to the army and quickly distributed the water bladder filled with wine to the horses.

The snow became heavier and heavier, falling on Zhenyuan's face, melting immediately, and white gas evaporated from the top of everyone's heads, and the world seemed to be quiet.

"Heaven and earth are boundless, who divides the north and the south, this battle is in need of snow, and the dust of the north is washed. Great Wei is mighty", Li San struck the long knife in his chest, releasing a "clang" sound of metal impact.

"Great Wei is mighty", everyone hit the armor with the back of the knife at the same time, the sound shook the universe, and the iron blood was strong.

The three armies listened to the order and "cracked", Li San shouted, and all the horsemen echoed "crack" in unison. The three hundred horsemen quickly separated from it and made way for it, and the horses behind them were unclear, and immediately dozens of outposts rushed over with "whoops, whoops".

"Brother Hulu", Li San pointed with a long knife.

Zhenyuan immediately lit the cloth rope tightly tied between the camels, slapped the camel's buttocks with the back of the knife, the camel's neck was roasted by the fire and hurt very much, and ran forward for his life.

When the Rouran array was neutral, there was a rain of arrows, and more than a dozen clansmen didn't snort and fell to the ground and died.

Finally received the troops with the outpost, the fire rope will gallop in front of several Hu cavalry off the war horse, Zhenyuan and others immediately grabbed the reins, a few rabbits up and down, jumped on the war horse, returned to the horse to draw the knife, and killed the landing Hu cavalry with a knife, Li San and others saw this, secretly applauded.

Seeing this, Rouran Hu rode out, and finally realized that something was wrong, a little whole formation, there were hundreds of horses rushing out first, dozens of camels were burned by the fire, the pain was unbearable, rushed left and right, there was no formation at all, the burning rope between the two camels will be a group of Hu riders off a piece, the people of Ele took the opportunity to grab the horses, with Zhenyuan shouting again and again, as usual training, gradually returned to the formation.

Zhenyuan took the lead, the eighty or so people who survived were like a crescent moon, after two rounds of scrambling, hanging the bow and picking up the knife, relying on the inertia of the war horse charging and sprinting, followed by the camel with fire, rushed into the Rouran array, the people of the Ele people were holding double knives, turning left and right, cutting down the Hu cavalry outpost that could not be patrolled, killing the cavalry who was knocked down by the camel, the knife was over the neck, it was very sharp, galloping through the land of three arrows, Zhenyuan had killed several people, at this time the horsepower was exhausted, immediately shouted and shouted, dialed the horse to turn, in order to wait for the horse to be stationed again, when the rotation hung the knife to pick up the bow, back to the bow and round shooting, and blocked the Hu cavalry to chase and intercept。

In the battle array, Li San saw that the people of the Le tribe were skillful in arching and horses, and they were running in an orderly manner, and they cherished their horsepower, and they naturally admired and made friends.

There was a gentle Hu cavalry, originally thought that although the Great Wei ironclad knights were well-equipped, but the soldiers were outnumbered, a day and a night of see-sawing killing, all of them were already sleepy and lacking horses, and they were supposed to let the outpost hundreds of people keep attacking and harassing, and the rest of the people rested their horsepower for a while, and when the Great Wei arrows were exhausted, they were swallowed up. Unexpectedly, some deadly camels suddenly appeared, and a group of Rakshasa demon-like Hu people took the initiative to charge, and they were killed by surprise. When Zhenyuan and others returned to their horses, they came back to their senses, no matter how powerful they were, there were only three or four hundred people, and they still had more than a thousand combat power, and suddenly howled, the horn was transmitted, and thousands of horsemen were lined up in four teams, ready to charge in echelons, giving full play to the inertia of the war horse sprint, and when the front row was about to decline, the back row was charged and killed, and four times in turn to rush and kill, to ensure that the opponent was wiped out and all slaughtered.

Li San saw that Rouran Hu was in a formation, and knew that when it came to life and death, the cascade rushing phalanx was indeed the best formation in such an open area, with the absolute superiority of troops, and it could almost ensure that no opponent was spared.

"Rise", Li San's long knife pointed, the Wei army moved, when the outpost of Rouran vanguard was in great chaos; when Rou Le retreated, Rou Ran general did not pursue, 300 iron horsemen urged the horse at the same time, "kill", 300 people shouted in unison, and rushed towards the retreating Ele people.

The people of Eile were shocked by the momentum of the Wei army's death, and Tiege and others, who had planned to slip away on horseback, were also aroused, and spit out a mouthful of blood foam, "Rouran of the dog day, the leader, it seems that you can't run away, Rouran's grandson is very fast, Lao Tie I have to explain here today, I planned to buy silk satin cloth this time, and go home to love the Sange mother-in-law, so please ask the god of Tiele Mountain to protect you, and she will be born in the same tribe in the next life."

Woo... Woo... Woo.... The Rouran people finally blew the horn.

The Wei army did not wait for Zhenyuan and the others to turn around, and rushed out head-on, and dozens of horsemen actually took rockets by mouth.

The Wei army's horses were getting faster and faster, bypassing the turning Ele people, Li San shouted: "Brother Zhenyuan, follow me," the long knife was raised, "cone", as soon as the words fell, the Wei army suddenly staggered to control the horse, turning into a cone tip formation, lifting the horse to sprint, the Ele people stopped their horses in place, the war horse neighed, turned the direction, and rushed towards the Rouran people again with the Wei army.

"Throw", the Wei army threw the leather bag containing the wine all over the sky, and was catching up with the Hu cavalry who was sprinting from the opposite side.

"Up, bow", Peng's voice sounded, and the feather arrows all headed towards the wine bag. The first batch of Rouran Huqi ushered in a rain of wine, and many people tasted it, what a fragrant spirit.

"Fire, arrows", with a bang, the people of Ele finally understood the purpose of wine bags and rockets.

"Howl, wow, ah..." More than 300 Hu horses were covered in fire, and the fire touched the fur of Rouran's body, like dry wood encountering flames, and the burning spread rapidly, and the three hundred fire horses bombed the camp, scurrying around, and suddenly disrupted the formation of Rouran's sprint.

"Royal... "Pick up the shield and draw the knife, although Li San is a general, he is always at the tip of the cone, supported by several people on the left and right, and the war horse has reached extreme speed at this time, like a wind and lightning.

"Maintain the formation, protect each other left and right, kill", the cone-shaped battle formation is like a sharp blade, quickly cut the first round of three hundred people of Hu Cai, the long knife into the body, the people of Ele followed the Wei army, rushed left and right to kill, the double knife kept waving, Zhenyuan could even clearly hear the "creaking" friction sound of the long knife into the flesh and bones, and the formation was over, and a piece of severed limbs and stumps were broken.

The fire could only make Rouran stagnate in the first round, and then the second, third, and fourth rounds came, and the three teams of Hu cavalry were separated by a stone's throw respectively, intercepting and killing the Wei army in a roundabout way, and gradually forming an encirclement.

"Brother Zhenyuan, bow", because dozens of people in the middle of the conical array, when they heard the words, they struggled to draw the bow and arrows, and even the arrows were fired.

Both sides are red-eyed, Rouran forces are superior, with more than 1,000 against 300, the advantage is obvious, although the Wei army is outstanding, how can the people be sleepy and lacking horses, a day and night of water and rice did not enter, physical strength gradually exhausted, left and right, constantly break through, besieged, break through again, and then surrounded, and strive not to let Hu cavalry shrink the formation, the encirclement is successful.

The wind and snow were tight, and after several rounds of fighting, blood flowed in the field, and soon it was covered with heavy snow, and the air was filled with blood. There were only more than 50 people left in the Wei army, most of the casualties of the Ele clan, only more than 20 people remained, Zhenyuan and Lao Tiege and others were all stabbed in the back and abdomen, scarred, and their faces were covered with blood, and they couldn't tell which ones were their own and which were the enemy's.

Li San tore off his cloak, wrapped the wound on his right arm, and replaced it with a knife in his left hand, "Warriors, today with the son, side by side to kill the thief, so unhappy, although the enemy chieftain is numerous, but we are outnumbered, do not show weakness, worthy of the Great Wei man, there are still half a hundred enemy chiefs, are you afraid."

"Don't be afraid".

"Do you dare to kill him again?"

"Kill... Kill... Kill...."Everyone hit the chest with their backs, and there was a loud sound, and the war horses had a heavy snort, and many of them had already foamed at the mouth, all of them to the limit of horsepower.

"Dismount, array, and command..."Those with shields are in front, and those with swords are behind, ready to fight.

Rouran Hu cavalry also lost more than half, the battle circle was full of the remnants of the soldiers on both sides, as well as dozens of camels and hundreds of war horses whose heads were shattered by the impact, and the Rouran people were so ruthless to devour and kill, although they were afraid of the Wei army's combat strength, but the other party only had dozens of people left, vowing to kill them.

"Hohoo, kill", Hu Cai's commander shouted again and again, pointed forward with his scimitar, and killed again.

Everyone in the Wei army held their breath and clenched the remnants of the knife with the edge of the blade rolled, all with a look of heroism.

"Woo, woo, woo,", the sound of a horn came from the rear of the Wei army, and the sound was loud.

"Fade the armor and save physical strength", Li San ordered, the surviving Wei troops all faded away the heavy iron armor, "kill", Li San held the shield and carried the knife, rushed forward lightly, everyone followed him into the battle, only to see Li San short body dodged two long lances, a knife to kill a Hu horse, the left foot hooked the stirrup, jumped up, pulled out the bow and arrow on the Hu horse, quickly controlled the string, a bow and two arrows, and quickly shot two pots of arrows.

"Good", Zhenyuan couldn't help admiring, his left hand held a knife, his right hand reversed from bottom to top, a knife slashed a person to death, his hands trembled, and Lao Tiege back to back, supporting each other, all of them had the disease of detachment. "Immortal Chang once said that I need to be patient to experience the spit, practice the knife technique, can strengthen the body, not to be exhausted in a short time, such as the life left, I really have to experience it", Zhenyuan gasped and thought.

"Leader, look at the first line of the gorge, there seems to be a fire, it seems to be a torch, I wonder if those little babies have slipped away?"

"Woo, woo, woo", the horn did not stop, the fire gradually improved, Li San was wounded in the chest and abdomen, covered in blood, like a mad demon, Zhenyuan and others were barely supported, handed over their backs to their companions, and tried their best to kill the enemy, there were less than thirty people who could stand, and some people kept falling. The Rouran people surrounded it, kept suppressing it with bows and arrows, and then killed it with a long lance, seeing a knife slashing at Li San's neck, Li San's long knife was pressed by two horse lances, unable to pull out, and could not be lived.

Suddenly, an iron arrow flew in, piercing through Hu Cai's head, and then the sound of "Du, Du, Du" crossbow arrows into the flesh came, and a fine cavalry finally loomed under the gradual firelight.

"Finally arrived, my son Shouyi finally arrived, haha, God bless Dawei, haha", Li San looked up to the sky and smiled, standing with a knife.

Come to ride all the light clothes from Jane, people and horses do not cover armor, obviously a long-distance run, although the wind and frost are full of faces, but the momentum is calm and majestic, go straight around Li San and others, crossbow arrows open the way, crossbows stop bow shooting, bow stop halberd out, all in one breath, more Zhenyuan and others amazed people, about 3,000 light horses, everyone holds a halberd, these weapons are bladed on three sides, can be split and stabbed, it is definitely a field of male weapons, expensive to build, but not the general army can be equipped.

I saw one of the people who came to ride quickly jumped off the horse, untied the big coat and draped it on Li San's body, knelt on the ground, and wept silently, "Father, the child has finally found you, it is really merciful to God, but the child is in a hurry!"

"Shouichi, get up. You are dusty, it is obvious that you are looking for me sometimes, filial piety is commendable, I have seen this leader of Hulu, if it were not for the help of other people, I would almost die here!"

"Shouyi Xie Hulu leader Gao Yi", Li Shouyi knelt on the ground and bowed, kowtowed three times before getting up.

"Shouyi, where are the Long Xiang and Tiger Ben camps stationed now?" asked Li San.

"Father, temporarily stationed in the east of the chaotic stone forest 200 miles, this northern tour, Long Xiang, Hu Ben each 3,000 fine cavalry with the car", the North Liang border army 100,000 in the 100 miles outside the pass company camp, in case of emergency, how to the day before the father and the emperor traveled, the sky suddenly changed, the sky fell heavily snow, the child stood handsome 3,000 fine horses lightly traveled, looking for the father everywhere, an hour ago met the scout of the Long Xiang camp with the car, only to know that something was wrong, rushed to the first line of the gorge, saw more than a dozen Hu people blowing the trumpet, a question here has been engaged in battle for a long time. ”

"Yes, I wanted to survey the terrain three hundred miles northwest of the Troubled Stone Forest after my inspection yesterday, but I didn't know that the sky suddenly changed, I lost my way, I didn't want to encounter the cavalry of the Rouran tribe, I chased and killed all the way, I sent many scouts, I hope to find you all the way, fortunately, cough.. cough..."Li San spat out a large mouthful of blood, and the injury was not light.

"Father, please go to the leeward to rest for a while, and then go back to the camp to heal your wounds," Li Shouyi hurriedly supported his father, and anxiously ordered his followers to set up a temporary tent in the leeward place and light a fire and prepare water.

"Spread the decree, with the Longxiang battalion going all out to kill these Hu cavalry, it is necessary to kill them all, leaving no one alive;

"No", a general has to be ordered to get on the horse and go.

The war horse Xiaoxiao, the light cavalry of the Longxiang battalion is simple, well-equipped, and quickly suppressed with bows and crossbows, and the three-edged halberd and long-handled war knives are all killing weapons, and with three thousand wounded soldiers at the end of hundreds of strong crossbows, the snow has stopped and the sky is bright, and they have all been killed, and they have returned to the horse.

In the temporary military tent of the Wei army, Zhenyuan, Tiege and the five surviving clansmen were seriously injured, and the head, chest, back and abdomen wounds were visible to the bones, and they were all tightly bandaged by the Wei army's accompanying military doctors at this time.

Suddenly, the door of the big tent was opened, and Li San and others walked in, holding a jar of good wine. "Brother Zhenyuan, how? Can you drink?" Li San asked with a smile.

Zhenyuan quickly got up, pulled the people of the Ole tribe, knelt on the ground and saluted, "The people of the grass Hu Lu Zhenyuan led the people to see His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor", and heard the general who rushed to the aid call his father, Zhenyuan knew the identity of Li San.

"You and I have lived and died together, we are brothers, I have sent someone to find the clansmen of your first-line gorge, and I am eating in the army, and the clansmen who died in the war have sent someone to find the corpses. If it weren't for the help of the Zhenyuan brothers in this battle, we would have died in battle, come, taste the spirits in our army. ”

"The grace of the leader of Xie Hulu to help him live," the generals who entered the account all knelt down on one knee and saluted.

Zhenyuan took the wine bowl with both hands, drank the liquor in one gulp, and said busily: "My God, don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

"Brother Zhenyuan, my real name is Li Mingyue, it is inconvenient to inform me at first, please forgive me, come, and do another bowl. Li Mingyue personally poured wine for Zhenyuan and the people, and everyone looked at each other and were flattered.

"Shou one, pass on the decree, Hu Lu Zhenyuan has made meritorious contributions to saving from the dragon, more than 100 tribes of manpower war chiefs, wearing persistent sharpness, not afraid of death, and is really a model for the three armies. From today onwards, the Ele clan naturalized the Great Wei, gave the country the surname "Li", rewarded 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, 1,000 horses of war, 10,000 heads of cattle and sheep, 1,000 catties of tea, 1,000 boxes of porcelain, 10,000 pieces of cotton and linen and satin, the rest of the rice, flour, oil and grain, charcoal, fire, salt and sugar, and the northern Liang Shou Pan Shuang was rationed according to 5,000 cases, and the soldiers of the Le tribe and the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion who died in the battle were buried with the generals. ”

"Brother Zhenyuan, we will be a family in the future, I want to give you an official position", Li Mingyue helped Li Zhenyuan up and said.

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, how can I be an official, I just want the clansmen to live a good life, just eat and dress warmly, I won't be an official, the women and children in the clan are still waiting for me to go back", Zhenyuan was suddenly overwhelmed by the sudden gift, and changed from the outside of the Saiwai to the nobles of the Great Wei Empire in the Central Plains, which is unimaginable.

"I see that your whole clan is skilled in bows and horses, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and you are indeed a pillar of talent, so you should share your worries for me, I am ready to make you the marquis of Zhenbei, and guard the northern frontier for me, if you want, your children can enter the palace and live with the prince and princess.

Beiliang guarded Pan Shuang out of the ranks: "Your Majesty, this ..... Plausible?"

"Needless to say," Li Mingyue interrupted with a wave of her hand.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to share your worries, my clan has thousands of people, and they are accustomed to the life of nomadic fishing and hunting. I manage the clan and I am still too busy to take care of myself, how can I bear the heavy responsibility you have handed over, I can't wait for the right time to help, and your Majesty will reward you richly, and the matter of the marquis, please take back your Majesty's life. Zhenyuan rubbed his hands and said to the emperor.

"I have made up my mind, since Zhenyuan is unwilling to enter the pass, I am not reluctant, I have carefully studied the terrain of Saibei these days, Rouran, Tatar, Turkic and other ethnic groups from the Mobei grassland to attack the pass, the most convenient way is through the first line of the gorge, through the chaotic stone forest, after more than 200 miles, you can reach the Beiliang Pass, although the first line of the gorge and the chaotic stone forest is not a natural danger, but if it is good to use, you can be a hundred thousand soldiers. I am determined to build a new city in the north of the first-line gorge, nail it to the north of the Saibei, build outposts and beacon towers in the first-line gorge and the chaotic stone forest, and set up a market to open up the mutual market, so that the tribes outside the customs do not need to enter the customs to buy, and the northern frontier of the Great Wei Dynasty can have another barrier, which can be attacked and defended. I mean that this city will be guarded by the Zhenyuan brothers, and the mutual city income tax will be temporarily handed over to Zhenyuan to take care of, and then I will move in 200,000 people from Wuwei, Luoyang, Zhangye and other places, and you will help me be the marquis of this new city, how about it?"
