At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 317
Batulu was as rough as a beast, but he was very alert. He led his fifteen riders and galloped for more than ten li, and came to a snow fir forest. First, he left a large hoof track around the snow fir forest. Only then did I sneak into the forest from the back of the snow cedar forest, and then lay in ambush and stared at the way I came from. After half a day, I didn't find any pursuers or stalkers, so I took the people away Snow fir forest, continue to the northeast.

"Is Teller overestimating Hachi? When Teller was in front of his woman, this useless man only dared to look at him timidly. How dare he chase him now?" A Xiren knight said with a smile.

The commander-in-chief of the Xiren tribe is called Jinjin, and the commander-in-chief's son is called Teller. Batulu's father, Akelu, is the commander-in-chief of the Chuli tribe, or the chief of the tribe.

Baturu said disdainfully: "Bentler is not wary of Ha Chi, but the Sui people. The Sui people are cunning. Maybe they will follow us, and then our tribe's resident will be exposed."

The Xiren knight was probably Baturu's entourage, he curled his lips disapprovingly and said: "There is indeed a Sui army on the side of Heishi Mountain, but the number is very small, no more than 50 people, and their riding and shooting skills The subordinates have observed in secret, and compared with our Chuli warriors, they are far behind, as long as Teller gives you an order, there is no need for a large army to come, and we can kill all those Sui people."

Batulu scolded: "You know what a fart, it's really easy to kill them all, but the Sui Kingdom is very big, and there are many people, with strong soldiers. Last year, millions of people were sent to fight Goguryeo alone, which is more powerful than our entire Xi clan." There are dozens of times more people, so if we really want to kill the Sui people, I'm afraid there will be big trouble."

Xiren Knight said in astonishment: "Natler, you still threatened to kill them all... Oh, I understand, Teller is scaring them, right?"

Batulu rolled his eyes, as if to say, you only understand, kid!
The Xi Ren knight scratched the back of his head and said, "Then what if the Sui people are not threatened and continue to stay at Heishi Mountain?"

Batulu laughed grimly and said, "After spring begins, the emperor of the Sui Kingdom will definitely lead his army to conquer Goguryeo. At that time, Zhuo County will not have many troops, and he will also be concerned about the instability of the rear. He will definitely not fight against us. At that time, if the high priest doesn't know how to flatter you, you might as well teach him an unforgettable lesson."

The Xi Ren knight's eyes lit up and said: "Teller's strategy is brilliant. No wonder everyone says that Teller is the smartest person in our Chuli tribe. If it weren't for Teller, our Chuli tribe would have been wiped out by the plague ghost."

The Xiren knights all around cast admiring gazes!
It is said that Batulu is the second son of the commander-in-chief of the Chuli tribe. A plague broke out in the Chuli tribe some time ago. Suddenly, many people fell ill and died. People in the tribe were panic-stricken. It is recommended to discard the sick people and only take the healthy people to escape.

On the way to escape from Chuli, there were still people getting sick, so they discarded the sick while fleeing. In the end, even Batulu's elder brother Balam died of the epidemic. Fortunately, when the weather completely cooled down, the first heavy snow fell At that time, the number of sick people in the tribe finally decreased slowly. After entering the twelfth lunar month, the plague completely disappeared. The plague ghosts always come quietly and then go quietly!

Although Barutu's method of discarding patients was very cold-blooded, it undoubtedly avoided a catastrophe of extermination. Of course, the lethality of this plague on the Chuli tribe was still quite serious. In the past, the number of people in the Chuli tribe was close to 9000. After the end, there were only more than [-] people left, and a total of [-] to [-]% died, which was quite terrifying.

The original strength of the Chuli tribe was one of the best among the five tribes of the Xi clan, second only to the Yaoli tribe. Now it is afraid that it will fall to the fourth or even the last. With the rapid weakening of the tribe's strength, the Chuli tribe will also fall into a trap. at great risk of being annexed by other tribes.

Therefore, the upper echelons of the entire Chuli tribe were in a hurry. They had to abandon the pastures bordering other Xiren tribes and shrink their land to recuperate. It is a good "tonic" for Chulibu to restore vitality. Eating Haribu will undoubtedly make Chulibu recover blood quickly.At the same time, Yuyi Town is a place with rich water and grass, close to the Sui Dynasty, and far away from other Xiren tribes, it is a good place to recuperate.

As a result, Batulu personally led people back to check, and found that the sick and dead who were discarded by the tribe at the beginning were gone.

Apart from being amazed, Batulu was even more overjoyed. He secretly planned to lead a large army back to annex the Hari Ministry. However, at this time, he found the Sui people who were constructing in the Heishi Mountain area. Bucket of cold water, he was worried that the Sui people would send garrisons to occupy this place while Chuli was away.

Therefore, Batulu led his men to lurk near the left for a few days, constantly observing in secret. When he found that the Sui people were armed with only a few dozen people, he attacked Hachi, and sent a message through Hachi, trying to send the Sui people away. People are scared away.Obviously, this Batulu is a brave and resourceful guy, but this time he met Gao Bufan, so he was in bad luck!
…………

Yu Wenhuaji also felt that he was very unlucky, he provoked Gao Bufan, his nemesis, and planned to overthrow this kid, but instead of overthrowing Gao Bufan, this kid turned his back in front of the emperor, and almost lost his official position If not, it also caused my father Yu Wenshu to lose face in full view.

Later Gao Bufan was assassinated on Changjie, Yu Wenhuaji gloated at his misfortune at first, but Fei Yuwei intervened, and officials were dismissed for various reasons, even beheaded and exiled. In danger, even Li Min and Li Hun were beaten by the emperor. Li Yuan was severely reprimanded by the emperor because of his disciple Hou Junji's participation in the assassination of Gao Bufan, and was almost dismissed. Finally, Empress Xiao Come forward to intercede, this is exempt from punishment.

At this time, I don't know where it came out that the young lady in charge of Feiyuwei seemed to be old with Gao Bufan. For a while, Gao Bufan became like a hedgehog. No one dared to provoke him, even Li Min and Li Hun's uncle and nephew. Tails tucked, Laozi Yu Wenshu even warned Yu Wenhuaji not to tease Gao Bufan again.

This is also one of the reasons why Yu Wenhua and his attitude towards Gao Bufan changed drastically!

It’s just that Yu Wenhuaji no longer took the initiative to tease Gao Bufan, and the latter teased him instead. The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month should be a good day to drink wine, watch the moon and watch the lanterns, but at this time Gao Bufan came to his door , Invite Yu Wenhuaji to the Kanma Racecourse in Yuyi Town!

You said Gao Bufan didn't pick a date, but chose the Lantern Festival, isn't that a deliberate provocation?It's just too much!
Yu Wenhuaji really wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the old rumors about this boy and Fei Yuwei's Qing girl, he immediately threw a mouse-like weapon, and finally had no choice but to take people out cursing, and followed Gao Bufan to Yuyi Town on horseback.

Yuyi Town in the first ten days of the first lunar month is still ice and snow, and the grass sprouts haven't grown yet. Wait for Yu Huaji to come when the water and grass in the racecourse are fertile. This guy will definitely take the opportunity to rate the quota of the racecourse high.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the smartest way to bring Yu Huaji to test before the spring grass grows.

Let's talk about Yu Wenhua and a group of "professionals" from Taipusi patrolling around Heishi Mountain for several miles, and then said to Gao Bufan: "After careful inspection by the officer, your racecourse occupies an area of ​​[-] square meters. Ten miles away, there are many rivers and lakes, and it is a good place to raise horses, so starting from this year, your racecourse will have to hand over [-] war horses!"

Gao Bufan frowned and said, "Master Shaoqing, two thousand war horses are too many, look at this place is bare, birds don't shit, it is impossible to slaughter two thousand war horses a year, not to mention raising horses needs to be done step by step. Once you paid so much at once, where did you ask the lower officials to find so many horse breeds in the first year?"

A flash of pride flashed in Yu Wenhuaji's eyes and he said: "The court has a set of standards for how many war horses should be handed over to the racecourse, and I also act according to the rules. If Supervisor Gao Mu has any objections, he can ask Taipu Yang for a review."

Gao Bufan's expression darkened immediately, his brows were furrowed, Yu Wenhuaji's eyes flashed with pride, and he said to himself, "Hey, you are as smart as a ghost, and I, Yu Wenhuaji, am not stupid. , dream about you, honestly hand in two thousand horses to me, haha, if you can't hand in at the end of the year, you will be the one to look at!"

Gao Bufan said in a deep voice: "It is convenient for others to be convenient for oneself, why should Mr. Yuwen narrow the road?"

"Oh, the threat is coming!" Yu Wenhuaji almost wanted to laugh out loud, thinking to himself, if you are willing to bow your head and say a few nice words, maybe I will consider letting you go. How dare you threaten me? But, anyway, I follow the rules, and I’m afraid you won’t make it, so I said with a straight face: "What does Supervisor Gao Mu mean by this? I just follow the rules. You told Supervisor Gao Mu that the standard for two thousand horses is set by Huang Ling. Is it high?"

Cheng Huang Ling is an official of the Taipu Temple, and his status is under the Tai Pu Shaoqing, but this Cheng Huang Ling obviously did not dare to offend Gao Bufan, and said with a smile: "Master Gao, according to the size and conditions of your ranch, two The quota of [-] horses is indeed not high, of course, raising horses cannot be achieved overnight, and it can be reduced appropriately in the first two years."

This Chenghuang Ling is a moderate in life, and he can't offend both sides of his words!
Yu Wenhua rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "I'm not an unreasonable person, if that's the case, then hand in [-] horses in the first year, [-] horses in the second year, and [-] horses in the third year. The full amount is two thousand horses."

Obviously, Yu Wenhuaji didn't want to get into trouble with Gao Bufan, so he took a step back, but [-] horses is still very difficult for a newly opened racecourse. First of all, you have to get enough horse breeds.

Gao Bufan's expression softened a little, he cupped his hands and said: "Then it's settled like this, the house of the racecourse hasn't been built yet, the lower officials won't entertain Sir Shaoqing."

Yu Wenhua and his nose were almost crooked. He ran all the way here and worked hard. In the end, he didn’t even have a meal, but Gao Bufan refused to receive him. He had no choice but to leave in anger. Well, he doesn't want to stay in this damn place for a moment.
