On the endless prairie, the lush grass is like a sea of green, and the lush grass rises and falls with the breeze, looking from afar, like the ripples of the ocean. There were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the golden sun gave off a dazzling light shining on the turquoise land. It's April and May. Although it has just begun summer, the aquatic plants of the Mongolian steppe are very luxuriant. The Mongols praised their great Khan, Genghis Khan. On the bank of the Troubled River, looking down, a group of horses galloped, raising the rolling yellow sand, flying all over the sky. This is all Genghis Khan's camp. Looking from afar, I saw that on the boundless grassland, the camp tents were one after another, thousands of war horses were rushing and neighing, tens of thousands of war knives and spears were shining in the scorching sun, and among the 100,000 gray camp tents, there was a big yellow tent, the top of the camp tent was made of gold, and a branch of nine big tents was hung high in front of the tent. It was Genghis Khan's royal tent.

On the top of the river, a man and a woman looked at this mighty soldier with great eyes, pointing, and talking and laughing. The man was about twenty years old, with delicate eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, a tall figure, but a little thin, not at all the fierce and majestic and rough and fierce that the Mongols peculiar, but like a southerner, especially the pair of red phoenix eyes, which looked very charming. He was wearing a cyan general robe, obviously a general, and his thin figure couldn't hide the calm and calm grace on his body. There is confidence and determination in his eyebrows. The girl, on the other hand, was muscular and very tall, almost at the same level as the man. She wears a bright red Mongolian dress embroidered with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes. The belt is woven with four pearls the size of a dragon's eye, showing her extraordinary family background. She is very beautiful, with round cheeks, a small nose and a small mouth, delicate and cute. A pair of big bright eyes are clear and innocent. But at this time, she didn't seem too happy. E's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, looking lazy.

"Nari, why don't you seem to be upset? What's wrong?" The man next to her obviously noticed that her mood didn't seem to be high, and couldn't help but ask curiously. Na Ri sighed faintly and said, "Yesterday, the Great Khan ordered troops, and next month there will be an expedition to Western Xia." The man said, "So you don't like to fight! These are men's things, you don't have to worry." The Great Khan is majestic and strategic, and has long had the ambition to compete in the Central Plains. At the beginning, the Great Khan led his troops to attack the Jin State, and could have taken Yanjing in one go, but the Khoraz touched the deception too much, and the Great Khan had to send troops to stabilize the rear, and now the Khorezm has completely collapsed, and the area south of the Syr Darya River has been included in the territory of Mongolia, which is a good time to enter the Central Plains. All you have to do is stay at home and wait for our good news. ”

Nari shook her head, raised her face and said proudly: "I am a descendant of Genghis Khan, and I am the greatest eagle clan of the steppe. From the time I was born to the present, the Great Khan's southern and northern wars have never stopped, and I have long been accustomed to it. It's just that I think that we just pacified Khorezm last year, and it took seven years, 150,000 elite soldiers, to defeat the opponent's 200,000 troops. It's really not suitable to fight. Although I have been resting for a year, I am about to have another big battle. I'm afraid the sergeants won't be able to take it anymore. The man looked at her in surprise, never expecting that this could come from the mouth of a young girl. Then he comforted: "Khorezm is a big country, and although we defeated them, although the casualties were not small, we also received a lot of resources. Since then, the sweat has wiped the soldiers and horses, accumulated the elite, and now the soldiers are even stronger, and they are not as unbearable as you think. ”

After hearing this, Na Ri seemed to have any concerns: "Even so, since the Great Khan wants to unify the Central Plains, he should continue to attack the Jin Kingdom! Although Xia Xianzong is an inactive monarch, he is not dizzy, and the country is strong and cannot be humiliated. What's more, the Xia State is a subsidiary of the Jin State, and we attack the Western Xia from afar, once the Jin State raises troops to save it, our army will inevitably bear the enemy. It's not a wise move. It is better for us to attack the Jin State directly, Jin Aizong is dizzy and incompetent, the subjects in the country are detached from morality, the soldiers are arrogant and lascivious, and the army is weak. And we have a feud with the Kingdom of Jin. Back then, it was they who provoked the Great Khan and Wang Han to turn against each other, and father and son killed each other. Our attack on the Kingdom of Jin is also famous. But the Great Khan put the cart before the horse, and I really don't know what to think. In his words, he seemed to be very disdainful of Genghis Khan's military orders.

The man smiled, touched her black and thick hair, and said, "It's amazing that you know so many big truths for a girl." However, leading troops to fight, there is a lot of knowledge here. The Great Khan had the ambition to support the heavens, and his eyes were on the entire land of China, and even the whole world. Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. Jin Guo is certainly a paper tiger, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and it is not so easy to take it down. One of the biggest problems is that his allies are his die-hard loyalists. Our Mongols tried several times to sabotage the Jinxia Alliance and clear the way for the reunification of China, but they were unsuccessful. If we attack the Jin Kingdom, Xia Xianzong will definitely send troops to rescue us. The situation is still not in our favor. But if you skip the Jin Kingdom and attack Western Xia directly, the Jin Lord is dizzy and incompetent, and he is afraid of my Mongolian tiger might, so he may not send troops to besiege it. When the time comes, when the Western Xia is taken, the Jin Kingdom will be alone, are you still afraid that he will not surrender and surrender?"

Nari suddenly realized, clapped her hands and smiled: "I see! Brother Xiaobai, you are really amazing. I guessed the Khan's mind a little bit. The man first smiled bitterly when he heard her address him, and then said, "Where did I guess?" I have been familiar with the hundred schools of thought since I was a child. The people I admire the most are the two great columnists of the Warring States period, Su Qin and Zhang Yi. During the Warring States Period, the Qin State was powerful and fought in all directions, only the Qi State had the strength to fight, but the Qi Lord was mediocre and timid, afraid of the Qin State's troops, and other countries sent people for help, and the Qi State was afraid of Qin's retaliation and refused to send troops. Waiting for the Qin State to destroy the five countries in a row, and coming to the city with powerful soldiers, the Qi lord was isolated and helpless, and the country was ruined. Lessons from the past and lessons from the future, we have ready-made examples of war, isn't it a shame to the ancients. "There was a lot of pride in his words.

Nari smiled: "Yes, yes, in my opinion, you will sweat even more." The man was frightened, and hurriedly covered her mouth and smiled bitterly: "Auntie, you can't talk nonsense." Nari looked at his anxious appearance and laughed even more.

"Brother Xiaobai, I'll sing you a song! I finally learned the tune you taught me last time, and I promise not to go out of tune. The two talked and laughed for a while, and Nari suddenly proposed, and then regardless of whether he objected or not, he cleared his throat and sang: "Elechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. Men's blood, heroic color, shout for me, the mountains and seas echo. The mountains are lonely, the water is dying, and the vertical and horizontal runs highlight the edge. This song was originally written by an unknown poet during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The life of herdsmen north of Gansu Province is described. Nari's voice is clear, and she sings without losing her heroic atmosphere, which makes people open-minded and full of energy.

As night fell, the two went down the mountain together, and the man said, "Nari, you have practiced the music I taught you very well, but it is not practical." What I have learned in my chest is all-encompassing, and don't you have anything else for me to call you except singing?" I have a way to make you call me in the future. We'll be here today and we'll see you tomorrow. Then she whistled, and heard the sound of Herod, and from a short distance came a horse, all red, without a trace of variegation. The legs are long and fat, and they are very powerful. Nari turned over and got on the horse, snorted at the man, and said with a smile: "Stygian, let's go." As soon as he pulled the reins, the red steed neighed, its hooves flew, and it rushed out like an arrow, and soon disappeared from sight.

The man touched his nose, smiled bitterly, whistled the same, and came running a navy blue horse. The man touched the horse's back and said, "You say, if you are a thousand miles away, I don't have to compromise and make such a deal with this eldest lady." Qingma snorted, looked at him dissatisfied, and seemed to say, "If it is your turn to be my master?"

On the school field of the 'drink~', 'drink~', 'drink~' camp, the soldiers practiced their bow and horse riding skills diligently, looking like they were in full swing. Thousands of spears and broadswords were raised high, shining red in the setting sun. In an open space on the outskirts of the school grounds, hundreds of Mongolian soldiers walked around in clusters left and right, neither practicing knives and guns nor sticks. The other sergeants seemed to have become accustomed to it. Seeing the man on the blue horse approaching, six generals dressed as generals walked out of the soldiers. One is burly and named Oro, one is strong and has a fierce face and is named Nashan, one is white and beardless and slender, and his name is Wuliang, one is short and slender, and his name is Seyin, and one is a young general in a white robe, who is heroic and martial, and his name is Ah Shu. The last one is ordinary-looking, of medium stature, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, very humble, and his name is Eritu. The six of them walked towards the man together, bowed and bowed, "General Zien." ”

It turned out that the man's name was Zien, and he was Torre's centurion. Seeing that several love generals came to visit, Qi En seemed a little embarrassed, touched his head and smiled: "A few of you are lucky." How's the practice today?" Eritu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Everything is as usual today, the general doesn't have to worry." The ten major formations passed on by the general, only one word long snake, two dragons out of the water, three talents of heaven and earth, four doors and four formations, now the sergeants have been familiar with the practice, and the general should personally pay attention to the rest of the formations. ”

Qi En nodded and said, "Okay! Tonight, I will draw the drawings of the five tigers and sheep, the six dings and the six armor and two formations, and tomorrow I will personally lead the sergeants to practice." Erritu was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Nashan said in a muffled voice: "The general should also be pragmatic." The army will march west in less than a month, but the general wanders outside the barracks all day long, leaving the army to practice in the same place, which is too unusual!"

Erri Tula Nashan's sleeve signaled him not to say any more, but Nashan had a resolute and upright personality and didn't pay attention to Erri Tu's eyes at all. Qi En couldn't help but blush when he heard this, and said with a dry smile: "What General Nashan said is reasonable, and General Ben does have something wrong. Uh, I think that's all for today!" then ordered the soldiers to gather their troops and disband. The six generals looked at Qi En's back as he gradually moved away, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all sighed helplessly.

It turned out that this General Qi En had been staring at her crotch since he suddenly met the woman named Nari half a month ago. The girl was also happy, and knew that Qi En was originally a Han man, so she made a deal with him to give him the horse if Qi En could teach her a hundred tunes. Zien's conceited poetry is a must, and he is not inferior to his own swordsmanship, so he generously agreed. I didn't expect Nari to be a music idiot, she is a light weight in archery, but when it comes to poetry and songs, she is stupider than a pig. It took more than ten days to teach a song and barely learn it. Na Ri is not in a hurry, but Qi En, as the commander of the general, who can stand not being in the barracks all day? In normal times, it is okay, but yesterday the Great Khan ordered troops, and in another month, he will go west to attack Xia, isn't the general joking with the lives of the soldiers by doing this? That's why he has today's remarks. Speaking of which, these six generals are not idle people. Although Zien was a centurion, he had nearly 700 sergeants under his command. This is going to start with Zien's life experience.

Eight years ago, Genghis Khan led his troops to the north, and his fourth son Torre led the main force across the desert and went straight to Buhuara, and this battle was fought for seven years. In the end, when Genghis Khan and the princes joined forces to attack Gojining, Torre and Genghis Khan were besieged by a group of dead soldiers while patrolling the city. Although the sergeant fought his way to the death, the two were still in danger. The father and son fled to a dense forest, met a young man who was grazing, led the dead to a swamp, and saved the names of Genghis Khan's father and son. Because his ancestors offended the powerful, he was sent to the frontier. Genghis Khan was grateful for his kindness, admired his intelligence even more, stayed by his side and became a ten-captain, and gave Mongolia the name Qi'en, which means benefactor. Qi En was proficient in the art of war, and he performed many miraculous feats in several battles, and was soon named a centurion. But by this time the war was over.

After returning to Hala and Lin, Zien trained the sergeants in the method of arranging their troops, but was reprimanded by his superiors, and the commander of the thousand commanders, Khusuri, insisted that the Mongol soldiers were accustomed to field warfare, and the formation of troops was not their own strength. And told Zien to change his mind as soon as possible. Unconvinced, Zien argued with him, and almost got started. Fortunately, Mu Huali patrolled the camp that day, and happened to meet, explaining that after that, Mu Huali proposed that the two of them lead the soldiers to compete in the school field, and the soldiers on both sides changed to wooden knives and guns, and dyed them with red paint, and the sergeant with red paint withdrew by himself, and in the end, whoever can capture the other party's commander will win. The two sides fought for a while, and the result was that Ziensheng captured coach Khusuri. Mu Huali admired Qi En's talent very much, and sent him 500 elite soldiers and 800 horses, and asked him to train a strange soldier who was proficient in the formation. Nashan, Oro, Wuliang, and Seyin. Ah Shu was sent by Mu Huali's subordinates, only the Eri Tu was pulled up by Qi En, although the qualifications are submerged, but this person is quite the ancient style of the Southern Dynasty, and he is very obsessed with Qi En's formation law book, and only he has obtained the true transmission of Qi En's formation law and military dao.

It was almost late at night at this moment, but Qi En sat on the Taishi chair and did not rest, but held a military book with ten formation diagrams and read it carefully. This is a habit he has always had, and his spirit at night is exceptionally good, so he reads books even late at night. Outside the tent, there was silence, only the chirping of cicadas in summer. Zien saw that it was getting late, and sleepiness hit. I was about to pack up my things and go to bed, when suddenly my ears moved, and I noticed that there seemed to be a noise outside. Just as he was about to ask, the visitor didn't seem to be trying to hide. I saw a figure outside the tent flash, and a man in a black robe broke in. The man was tall and muscular, with long black hair braided into a dozen braids draped over his shoulders. Because his face was covered with a black cloth, he could not see his face. Only a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes were revealed, shining with a terrifying cold light. As soon as he entered, he looked Zien up and down, as if he wanted to see through him.

Qi En was uncomfortable by him, and finally asked first: "Your Excellency came late at night, but what advice do you have?" The masked man said, "Your name is Zien?"

Zien was stunned by his question, and nodded yes. The masked man asked again, "Recently, you had a private meeting with a woman named Nari?" Qi En nodded again: "What do you think is wrong?"

The masked man said, "Before today, I didn't know that the man who often had private meetings with Nari was actually you. Eagle Zien, I've heard of your name too. I heard that you lead troops to fight, and you can often anticipate the enemy first, and use your troops like a god, and General Mu Huali is full of praise for you. So even if there is no Nari business, I will find you. Today is the perfect time to solve the problem. I want you to do two things, first, from today onwards, you are not allowed to pester Nari; second, I heard that you have good martial arts, especially your swordsmanship. Tonight is the perfect match. It's just a private duel that won't hurt your face. What do you think?"

Qi En can be sure now that this person is definitely also a military general in the military camp, and even a leader in the younger generation. Otherwise, he would never come to someone in the middle of the night to compete because of Mu Huali's words of praise. It's just that this man spoke insolently, with a tone of deep disdain and hostility. Zien is also a figure who is above the top, he dared to confront his superiors as soon as he entered the barracks, and in the end no senior officer dared to ask for him, and finally fell directly under the direct jurisdiction of Torre. I have never served anyone in the army for a year, and this time a person came in the middle of the night to give orders, and the more Qi En listened, the angrier he became. When he finished speaking, it was not easy to suppress the anger in his heart, but he was not polite, and said coldly: "I have an agreement with Na Ri early on, and it is not a gentleman's work to break his word and gain weight." Therefore, your request is forbidden. As for Your Excellency's desire to see my swordsmanship, this is easy. Qi En slowly stood up and spit out six words word by word: "If you want to fight, I will fight." In an instant, a powerful battle intent erupted from Qi En's body, and he looked at the masked man levelly.

The masked man's pupils contracted, and he snorted coldly and said angrily: "What did you say?" I think it was because he had been pampered for many years, and he had never heard a word every day when he gave orders, and today he was ruthlessly rejected by Qi En, and he felt insulted. But he quickly calmed down and chuckled: "Hehe, it's good, if the man Nari fancies is a submissive wreck, even I will feel very ashamed." That's what makes it interesting! In that case, I'm going to give you a chance at a fair duel. Two things and one thing. As long as you can win me, I won't interfere in the affairs of you and Nari. It's too little space here, you come with me. After the man finished speaking, he dodged out of the tent, and Zien took the sword from the wall, and chased him out as well.
