Tianshan Road is located in the westernmost part of the northwest, and it is also the westernmost area of ​​the empire. Tianshan Road is one of the smallest roads in the empire. It only governs two states. The geographical situation is not optimistic. It is located in the far west of the empire. The Tianshan Mountains stretch for nearly a hundred miles, with strange peaks protruding and countless peaks piercing the sky like spears. The sky and the earth are connected, so this mountain range is called Tianshan Mountains, and Tianshan Road is named after this.

Tianshan Mountain starts from the mountainside, the higher it goes up, the thicker the snow cover, which does not melt all year round. Looking over, it is a snow-white mountain range, covered in white, towering and straight mountains, which can be seen dozens of miles away.

To the east of the Tianshan Mountains is the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty, and to the west of the Tianshan Mountains, it is separated, which is also an endless desert.

To the east of Tianshan Mountain, starting from the foot of the mountain, is a vast pasture. This is the largest pasture in Northwest China and one of the three largest horse farms in Northwest China, Tianshan Horse Farm.

At the foot of Tianshan Mountain, it has now become a restricted area. Thirty miles away from Tianshan Mountain, there are many checkpoints, and teams of cavalry patrol horizontally. Every few miles, there are checkpoints.

You don't need to get too close, you can smell the strong breath of weapons inside.

At the foot of Tianshan Mountain, there is a company of tents, and on the wide grassland, teams of cavalry are performing exercises, and the horses are galloping, roaring past, and the knights on the horses are all in fine armor. Under the sun, the black armor exudes icy coldness In the cold light, all the cavalry had thick, long and sharp sabers, which were completely different from the regular cavalry sabers of the empire.

Zhu Lingyue, the governor of Tianshan Road, wore an official robe and rode on horseback. Behind him were more than a dozen Kong Wuyong generals. his mood.

The generals surrounded by him all looked stern and did not say a word.

Suddenly, Zhu Lingyue raised his hand and pointed at a team that was galloping and practicing horse archery. Immediately, a general urged the horse out with a flag in his hand. The cavalry in the front of the team immediately turned their horses' heads and made a 180-degree turn. , the horses neighed, and all the cavalry carried the bows and arrows in their hands behind their backs in unison amidst the rumbling hooves. Dao, the two cavalry in front galloped for a certain distance, and then pulled away from the left and right again, followed by the cavalry behind them, all in uniform, with almost exactly the same movements, and soon charged forward in a herringbone like wild geese.

Zhu Lingyue nodded slightly, and raised his hand to lighten his blue beard. A general next to him saw him, his eyes flashed with joy, and he urged him to come up, and said, "My lord, the Tianshan Black Wind Cavalry has matured day by day, and I am very familiar with the formation drill... !"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Lingyue had already looked at him, his expression suddenly became indifferent, and he said indifferently: "Hou Jingang, do you think you are good at training soldiers?"

The general had a complacent expression, but when he heard Zhu Lingyue say this, his face immediately showed a look of horror, he got off his horse immediately, knelt down and said: "My lord, the last general...the last general dare not!"

Zhu Lingyue smiled faintly, and said: "You Hou Jingang has indeed contributed a lot to training the Black Wind Rider to what it is now, but you must not forget that the generals around you are all showing their talents...!" He raised his finger and pointed at the cavalry team galloping back and forth on the vast grassland, "I entrust you with the best things. What you want is not only power, but also the ability to fight well...Hou Jingang, if the Black Wind Cavalry goes to battle, Do you think you are invincible?"

Although Hou Jingang was worried, he still said: "My lord, as long as your lord gives an order, the Heifengqi will go out, and the end will be guaranteed by the head. In this Great Qin Empire, except for Xuanyuanshao's guards, no one can match the Heifengqi. anti!"

Zhu Lingyue was expressionless and asked, "What qualifications do you have to say that?"

Hou Jingang immediately said: "Every soldier of the Black Wind Cavalry has been carefully selected. Their equipment is now the strongest in the empire. The armor is Lingying Iron Armor, which has extremely high protection. It combines the strengths of our Central Plains and the Western Regions. It is made of fine steel. The horse under the crotch is the best horse breed in the Great Qin Empire at present. The tiger comes out of the mountain... and there are adults planning strategies, the general thinks he is qualified to say bluntly, I am the Black Wind Cavalry, the most elite cavalry army in the world!"

Zhu Lingyue suddenly smiled and said, "Get up." When Hou Jingang got up, Zhu Lingyue smiled and said to the surrounding generals: "Remember, as a general who commands the army, in addition to being good at fighting and commanding the army well, The most important thing is to have absolute confidence in your own army...!" He stared at Hou Jingang and asked, "King Kong, do you know why the governor asked you to be the commander of the Black Wind Rider?"

Hou Jingang cupped his hands and said, "This is the kindness of your lord!"

"If you don't have the advantages that the governor discovered, the governor will not be able to meet you." Zhu Lingyue said calmly: "The group of generals under the governor's command are all generals who are on their own. The governor values ​​you. It is because you have the willpower not to admit defeat, and you have absolute confidence in yourself. You have a raging soldier and a raging army. You Hou Jingang is a general who can take on great responsibilities. Of course, the Black Wind Rider trained under your command will not be A group of wine bags and rice bags."

Hou Jingang's eyes showed gratitude, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency's kindness to the last general, the last general will never be able to repay it."

Zhu Lingyue laughed, and said to everyone around him: "You all have to remember that General Hou is here, representing the governor. Who dares to disobey his military orders? General Hou has the right to kill first and then play. You also know that the army is strictly governed, if you violate the military law, and General Hou wants to follow the military law, the governor will not be able to save you if you come forward."

All the generals bowed their hands to Hou Jingang and said: "We will definitely obey General Hou's order!"

Hou Jingang was even more grateful.

Zhu Lingyue smiled slightly, looked at the galloping Heifengqi, and said, "General Hou, the Heifengqi must step up their training and make them an invincible army!"

Hou Jingang immediately said: "My lord gives an order, and Heifeng rides up and down, and he will definitely go through fire and water, and he will do whatever he wants."

A general beside Zhu Lingyue said cautiously: "My lord, Heifeng rides under the Tianshan Mountains. With such training, will the court know what's going on?"

Before Zhu Lingyue could speak, another general had already sneered and said, "So what if we know? With the current situation of the court, even if they knew what happened here, how could they still send troops to attack us? There is chaos in the northwest, whether it is Neither Chu Huan nor Xiao Huanzhang has the ability to hold down the northwest, and the imperial court can only rely on the governor if they want to stabilize the northwest and make the northwest peaceful."

Another person made an excuse: "Even if they know the situation here, they can't come up with evidence. My lord planned a strategy and tried to divide the troops for training. The number of troops transferred to the Tianshan pasture every time did not exceed 4000. After the training, they left the racecourse. , Changing into attire, even if I am not an imperial guard, although my Black Wind Cavalry has nearly [-] people, but what they see, there are only a few thousand cavalry training here forever, and there is no flaw in the obvious."

The previous general was not without worry: "The last general is only worried about the imperial court sending Shenyiwei, and he knows all about this. If the imperial court really sends someone to investigate...!"

Hou Jingang had already sneered and said, "I don't believe it, the court really dares someone to come to investigate this matter, and I don't even believe that he can leave Tianshan alive with evidence."

"So what if we take them out of the Tianshan Mountains?" A stern-faced general said, "Your Excellency, you want to stabilize the northwest. There are so many bandits here, so how can you not have a strong army? The imperial court now wants to deal with the Tianmen Dao in the southeast." , and to deal with King Qingtian in Hebei, besides these two, there are quite a few forces in the pass that are ready to move, and at this time he has to send troops to intervene in the affairs of the Northwest, that is the court's own destruction...!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Lingyue raised his hand, and said "Hey", "Don't talk nonsense, my sage is wise, I will be devoted to the court, and my sage will not misunderstand us. The purpose of training Black Wind Riders is to protect the peace of the northwest. It is precisely because the imperial court is unable to send troops to the northwest to pacify the bandits. As a subject, the governor will naturally share the worries of the Holy One, train the army, and deal with the bandits and rebels in the northwest at any time. Of course, we cannot be sure whether the people of Xiliang will make a comeback, so plan ahead It is also something that a governor should do, once the people of Xiliang are not willing to die, I, Heifengqi, will naturally defend the northwest for the country."

Everyone immediately cupped their hands and said: "Your Excellency is dedicated to the country, you are indeed a role model for us!"

A general said again: "My lord is devoted to the country wholeheartedly, but that Chu Huan is full of ambitions. He jumps up and down in Xiguan, disregarding the life and death of the people. It is an unforgivable crime!"

All the generals reprimanded Chu Huan for being unfaithful and unrighteous. Zhu Lingyue raised his hand and said with a smile: "If you do many unrighteous actions, you will kill yourself. Chu Huan formed a clique for selfish gain, and eradicated dissidents. Such reckless behavior is naturally unpopular. Jinzhou and Hezhou raised their troops at the same time, which shows that Chu Huan is already making a fuss... This governor will naturally submit a memorial to the imperial court to seek justice for Xiguan!"

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes coming from behind, all the generals immediately turned their heads, Zhu Lingyue also turned the horse's head, only to see a cavalry team of less than ten people galloping towards this side, the galloping horses, there were already several generals beside Zhu Lingyue Crossing to the front, Hou Jingang held the handle of the knife with his big hand and stood at the front, only to see that the team had reined in their horses not far in front, and a group of people got off their horses one after another, but two people came quickly, one in front of them. In official robes, the person behind him was dressed in ordinary attire, wearing a bamboo hat, and followed the official quickly.

Tianshan Road governs Shazhou and Suzhou, and Tianshan is within the territory of Shazhou. When the generals saw the official, they immediately recognized the prefect of Shazhou. When they saw the magistrate of Shazhou bring someone to see him, they knew that the person who came was not an ordinary person.

When Zhu Lingyue saw it, he raised his hand to let everyone back down, shook the reins, and slowly stepped forward. The governor of Shazhou had already knelt on the ground, and the person behind him also knelt on the ground, and took off his bamboo hat, revealing a Very handsome face.
