Chapter 389: Dominating the Northwest (4)

Look, even the barbarians outside the territory know that it is absolutely impossible for people to love each other, but this stupid thirteenth brother is counting on the Taibao to be united. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The boss was full of smiles, and discussed with the other Taibao for a while about dividing up the fertile land developed by the Science Gate, because of the initiative of the thirteenth brother, the Taibao could share an extra piece of land, although the boss had the heart to swallow it, but now he has not defeated the Science Gate, and he needs to win over other Taibao, otherwise, this food is too ugly.

The Taibao pointed fingers on the map and fought for a long time, only then did they share the spoils, and went away satisfied, and went to rectify the soldiers and horses, waiting for a battle with the Science Gate -- it is also really ridiculous to say, these Taibao soldiers are not all on standby in the camp on weekdays, but there is a soldier who takes turns to go out to "hunt", in fact, it is to go to the house to rob the house, in order to supplement the military resources.

It can be seen from this that the military discipline of the Taibao is really corrupted to the extreme. Whenever a big war came, the army leaders had to take great pains to recruit back the big men under their command, and at the same time, they had to pull out the food and pay to make up for the loss of the soldiers who interrupted the "hunting", otherwise, these big soldiers would lie in the camp and refuse to leave, and they would be forced to hurry, and even rebel.

When the Taibao returned to their respective military towns, they had to open the warehouses and silver warehouses, and the yellow millet, the silver with white flowers, and the heavy copper coins were pulled to the barracks by a cart, so that they could buy the soldiers to serve their lives.

In the tent, the Taibao had already left, leaving only a piece of cups and plates, and even in the corner, there were a few Taibao filth left by dribbling and vomiting, exuding a foul smell, the eldest brother sat on the chair, his face was cloudy, and suddenly, he clapped his hands gently: "Come out." ”

There was a sudden gust of wind and sand in the tent, and the wind and sand condensed into shape, and finally turned into a monster with a wolf's head and a human body, and the eldest brother was waiting for him, and a maid who poured wine for him suddenly saw this strange scene, and was so frightened that she exclaimed, and the wine jug in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.

The wolf-headed human monster laughed fiercely, grabbed the maid with its paws, and with a big mouth, he bit off half of the maid's head, chewed it crisply in his mouth, and said in a stiff Li Chao language: "Not bad, not bad, it tastes so good." Li Chao is really a place where the aura of the world gathers, and even the taste of mortals is so wonderful. ”

The eldest brother watched the wolf-headed human monster eat his maid, but he didn't care, he said in a deep voice: "You also saw it just now, my Taibao brothers, all with ulterior motives, although they promised to attack the Science Gate with me, but they all held their own little abacus, I have no doubt that when the Science Gate is driven out of the northwest, these brothers will wave their knives to attack me." Hehe, the emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house next year, why can I be called a lonely widow, and they can't?"

The wolf-headed human monster sneered: "That's right, the general wants to cooperate with us, with the help of our poisonous country, after eliminating the Science Gate, and then help you kill the other Taibao, and then help you block the soldiers and horses of the Li Dynasty's crusade, then the general can live a free life in the northwest and be the king of the land for generations." Thinking that Nanyue was originally the land of the Li Dynasty, didn't it take advantage of the civil strife of the Li Dynasty to cede the land and claim the king?"

It turned out that the eldest brother had long had the intention of splitting the territory in order to stand on his own, but since his death, traitors who want to split the country have to bring in outsiders as helpers to fight against the motherland.

This poisonous country is a powerful country outside the Tianshan Mountains, and there are also cultivators in the territory, and the wolf-headed human body is the same, but it is a monster that fuses people and beasts, and transforms into a monster that is half human and half beast.

The poisonous country has always peeped into the Tianshan Mountains and coveted the wealth of the Great Li Dynasty, but because of the Tianshan Mountains, it was impossible to enter.

This time, the eldest brother saw that the Science Gate had discovered the underground dark river, and the northwest suddenly owned hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, which was enough to become the capital of his own division, and under the stimulation of greed, he did not hesitate to betray his ancestors and collude with the poisonous country, thinking that it was foreign aid.

The eldest brother's face was cloudy, and to be honest, this rebellion was also a hasty move for him. Although he has long been anti-voluntary, and has been secretly making all kinds of preparations, such as recruiting dead soldiers and accumulating grain and grass, but after all, the northwest is poor and weak, and it is far from being able to say that everything is ready, and only the east wind is owed.

However, this time, the Science Gate suddenly found the underground dark river and developed hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, so that the eldest brother could no longer sit still, because he knew that this would attract the attention of the imperial court and other forces, and when the time came, he would only face more and more powerful enemies.

The eldest brother slapped his thigh heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Lao Tzu has done it! When will the soldiers and horses of your poisonous country cross the Tianshan Mountains?"

The wolf-headed human monster grinned: "Since you have transferred General Fei and his wolf cavalry away, where are those ordinary soldiers guarding the Tianshan Mountain who are our opponents? Don't worry, when you raise troops to surround those guys who are digging wells everywhere, we will be able to break through the Tianshan Mountain level in one fell swoop." Although the wolf-headed monster is the enemy of the thirteenth brother, he also respects this opponent very much, and calls General Fei not famous.

The eldest brother smiled and said: "Send the Buddha to the west, good people will do it to the end, I will send a team of people to Tianshan, under the pretext of helping the old thirteen to defend, and help you win the pass!"

The wolf-headed human monster nodded and said, "That's even better, General, you join forces with my body poison country, and the northwest is in the bag!"

The eldest brother suddenly stared at the wolf-headed human monster and said: "Let's talk about it, once you take down the northwest, you will only take the Tianshan Mountain, and the grassland, mines, and grain fields under the Tianshan Mountain will all belong to me!"

The wolf-headed human monster said: "That's natural, our poisonous people are good at trade, and they don't know how to farm and open mines, and the reason why we occupy the Tianshan Mountains is just to have a few checkpoints so that we can do business with the northwest." General Na Fei guards the Tianshan Mountains, so that our Luo team can't cross the border, can't do business, can't make money, it's really a heavy loss. After the establishment of the Great General, please allow me to monopolize the trade between the Northwest and the Great Li Dynasty and the countries outside the Tianshan Mountains. ”

The eldest brother had indeed heard that the people of this poisonous country were good at business, and even in some small countries, they took over the tax revenue of the entire country, and he stretched out his hand and shook the claws of the wolf-headed monster: "A word is a certainty!"

The wolf-headed human monster laughed, reached out with its paws, dug out the maid's heart, threw it into its mouth and chewed: "General--no, the honorable Lord of the Northwest, Your Majesty, you will find that this is the best deal you have ever made in your life." ”

The eldest brother's eyes sparkled: "Xia! My country is called Xia! Xia Kingdom, Xia Dynasty! Like the scorching sun, once it is born, no one can stop it!"

The wolf-headed monster learned the etiquette of the Great Li Dynasty, knelt down, bowed to the eldest brother three times, and shouted three times: "The envoy of the foreign country with a poisonous body, the lord of the country of Hexia ascends the throne, long live, long live, long live!"

The eldest brother laughed, and his expression was indescribable.

The thirteenth brother hurried back to the Tianshan camp, on the grassland at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, scattered with tents, it was his people and soldiers, riding a black horse, galloping out of the women's camp, straight to the thirteenth brother to welcome, the end of the people, a string of silver bell-like laughter echoed on the grassland: "General Fei, are you back?

The thirteenth brother reined in his horse, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Alice, I am your husband, why do you call me General Fei like others, you should call me Xianggong." ”

The woman named Alice is blonde and blue-eyed, she is actually an extraterritorial barbarian, her figure is tall, her waist is straight and elastic, and her slender legs are forcefully clamped on the horse's belly, so that men can't help but imagine what it would be like to kill their souls if these long legs were coiled around their waists.

Alice smiled heartily: "Xianggong, Xianggong - it's not good, I still like to call you General Fei, General Ye Feifei." ”

It turned out that the thirteenth brother's real name was Ye Fei, in fact, his surname Ye was with his mother's surname, after his mother was raped by the barbarians, she gave birth to him, and her mother originally wanted to drown him in the toilet, but looking at his black hair and dark eyes, it was the appearance of Li Chao, not a foreign barbarian, and her heart softened and held him in her arms.

Ye Fei's mother took her own surname as her child's surname, and educated him the traditional ideas of the Great Li Dynasty such as loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness since he was a child. It wasn't until Ye Fei became an adult that his mother hanged herself and left a suicide note, saying that she deserved to die when she was insulted by the barbarians, but she couldn't bear to take the child in her womb with her, and now that she saw Ye Fei grow up, she had no regrets and could go underground to follow the ancestors of the Ye family.

Because of this, Ye Fei hated the barbarians outside the territory to the core, and led his brothers to form a great wall of flesh and blood on the Tianshan Mountain, so that the barbarians could no longer cross the Tianshan Mountain and harm the people in the northwest.

Ye Fei's wife Alice is also a poor woman, she is the daughter of a merchant, when she was doing business with her father's caravan, she was attacked by barbarian bandits, escaped alone, miraculously crossed the Tianshan Mountain, and was rescued by Ye Fei's female battalion soldiers.

Alice is beautiful and bold, and soon launched a passionate pursuit of Ye Fei, the so-called female chasing male compartment paper, plus Ye Fei has always been ashamed of having barbarian blood on his body, and he is unwilling to insult the good girl of the Great Li Dynasty, and regenerate a mongrel, so he simply rolled the sheets with Alice. Hybrid with brute girl, the most suitable.

Alice jumped into Ye Fei's arms from the horse, and kissed her lover's face: "My General Fei, why are you frowning, but what kind of thirteen Taibao brother are you, and you are forcing you to do something bad? It doesn't matter, we just need to guard the Tianshan Mountain and not come out, it's a big deal, they don't give us food and grass, and the soldiers are hungry." ”

Ye Fei sighed lightly, Alice Jiaohan, how did you know that this time the treason plot of the Thirteen Taibao could not be solved by himself in the Tianshan Mountains, he touched Alice's blonde hair: "Alice, if there are many, many sweet water wells in the northwest and a large area of fertile land and pastures, okay?"

Alice's eyes widened: "Of course it's good, in the desert outside the Tianshan Mountains, there is water to have life, if there are many, many sweet water wells and fertile fields in the northwest, then we don't have to stay on the Tianshan Mountains to live a hard life of hunger and fullness." ”

Ye Fei's heart was full of bitterness, even Alice, a barbarian girl, knew the importance of water and fertile land, if she didn't send troops with her eldest brother to attack the Science Gate, she would really become the public enemy of the Thirteen Taibao, they didn't need to attack Tianshan, as long as they didn't sell a grain of grain, the soldiers under their command would be starved to death.

Ye Fei shook the reins: "Alice, I want to take the snow wolves down the mountain for a while, you take all the soldiers with you, but you have to take care of the Tianshan defense line." ”

Seeing Ye Fei's solemn face, Alice no longer asked the reason, she nodded, she knew that the snow wolves would not leave the Tianshan Mountains easily, and Ye Fei would take the snow wolves down the mountain, and something big would happen! She couldn't help her beloved, so she could only hold the Tianshan defense line, but recently, the barbarians outside the territory were relatively peaceful, and now it was winter, and the Tianshan Mountains were covered with heavy snow, and it was difficult for birds to cross, but she was not worried that the barbarians would sneak attack.

After Ye Fei and Alice arrived at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, they abandoned their horses and climbed to the mountain, the Tianshan Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles, like a natural city wall, next door to the Tianshan Mountain inside and outside, the top of the mountain is covered with thick ice and snow all the year round, and the living people can't climb it at all, but there are several checkpoints where the terrain is relatively flat, it is the passage between the northwest and the extraterritorial, and the elite soldiers under Ye Fei are guarding the checkpoints, collecting taxes from the caravans to feed themselves.

In fact, speaking of which, Ye Fei is also a robber who blocks the road, "I want to fight this way and leave it to buy road money", but he guarded the Tianshan Mountains and also blocked the invasion of the barbarians, but he was credited to the people.

Alice was climbing on the steep snow, her breathing suddenly became a little short, Ye Fei frowned slightly, and stopped her: "Alice, the gods of the Tianshan Mountains don't seem to like you going up the mountain, you better go down the mountain, remember, walk slowly when you go down the mountain, don't go too fast, walking fast will attract the unhappiness of the gods." ”

--In fact, the so-called gods of the Tianshan Mountains do not like people to go up the mountain and clouds, it is just altitude sickness, but where do Ye Fei and Alice know the reason, the local mountain people say that if you suddenly have shortness of breath on the Tianshan Mountain, you can't breathe, and your heart beats violently, you are punished by the gods, and you need to turn around and get out of danger. Those daredevils who disrespected the gods ended up as a frozen corpse on the Tianshan Mountain.

Alice didn't dare to hold on, kowtowed to the top of the snowy mountain, turned around and slowly walked down the mountain, Ye Fei continued to climb the mountain, he didn't dare to be too strong, he took a break after walking for a while, and even took out a black scarf and covered his eyes - although he didn't know the principle of snow blindness, he understood that this could make his eyes more comfortable.

Turning a mountain pass, a beacon tower appeared in front of him, that is, there were a few bayonets on the Tianshan Mountain, Ye Fei suddenly paused, looked around vigilantly, and his right hand had already tightly grasped the handle of the knife - suddenly, the snow was splashing everywhere, and something jumped out of the snow next to him, and he pounced on Ye Fei without saying a word, and his sharp claws shone in the sun!

Ye Fei turned around and avoided the surprise figure, and slashed at the other party with a backhand--hey, strange, Ye Fei's knife has not yet come out of the sheath, and he can't kill the enemy with the scabbard?

Ye Fei's scabbard fell short, because the figure of the raid was extremely flexible, and when it was still in mid-air, it turned around, and its four claws landed steadily on the snow.

Ye Fei laughed: "Da Bai, you actually hid in the snow and wanted to sneak attack me, but you didn't think that the breath exhaled from your nose condensed into smoke, and I had already discovered it!"

What Ye Fei called Da Bai was a huge snow wolf, the size of a calf, it seemed to understand Ye Fei's words, seeing that the failure of the sneak attack was exposed on the spot, it was a little embarrassed to pick up its tail and trot to Ye Fei's side, and its hairy head arched back and forth in Ye Fei's arms.

At this time, the soldiers in the beacon tower heard the movement, and they all came out with weapons in their hands, and when they saw Ye Fei's figure, they hurriedly saluted: "It turns out that General Fei is here, we think, which thief can avoid the minions of the head of the snow wolf." ”

These warriors have been guarding the plateau for many years, their hair and beards are unkempt, their armor is tattered, their breathing is heavy, and their cheeks are red, but they are the so-called plateau red caused by ultraviolet sunburn, but their thick hands still hold their weapons firmly.

Ye Fei stepped forward and hugged his comrades-in-arms one by one: "Brothers, it's hard work. ”

The soldiers asked in a big voice, "General Fei, why did you come up the mountain? But you came to bring grain and black stones? This black stone stove is much stronger than the original cow dung." It's just that the general knows, there are evil spirits on this mountain, and this fire can't be heated no matter how much water boils. "--How did the soldiers know that the water could not cook the food, not because of the evil spirits, but because the pressure on the Tianshan Mountains was not enough, and the water could not reach 100 degrees, unless it was cooked in a pressure cooker, and the rice and meat cooked in an ordinary rice pot would always be sandwiched.

Another soldier asked: "General Fei, I heard that the 13 th Taibao gathered to discuss major matters, but what changes have occurred in the northwest? Could it be that other Taibao is going to raise grain prices again? I heard that the drought in the northwest is serious this year, and the grain output has been reduced again?"

The soldiers guarding the Tianshan checkpoint are not afraid of bloodshed, not afraid of losing their lives, they are afraid that the rear will be cut off from food, and the taste of guarding the border pass with a hungry stomach is too uncomfortable, but Ye Fei's self-discipline is very strict, and he is not allowed to invade the common people.

Ye Fei was sad for a while, beckoned everyone to sit down, the leader of the snow wolf, Da Bai, squatted at his feet, Ye Fei said: "I came to tell you a good news, a dark river vein has been found in the northwest hinterland, and it is estimated that thousands of sweet water wells can be drilled, not to mention hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land and pasture.
