Horse on the World

Chapter 341
On the third day of March, it was the time when the grass grew and the twigs flew. Dots of greenery appeared overnight on the withered and yellow grassland. The painted carpet is really beautiful, and in a few dozen days, the grassland will surely reappear the scene of the sky, the wild, and the wind blowing the grass and the cattle and sheep.The weather that had been hazy for a long time seemed to suddenly turn around. The wind blew away the clouds, and the long-lost blue sky and white clouds appeared above everyone's heads.

Today is the day when the first batch of barbarian residents who moved inward set off. There was a lot of hustle and bustle inside and outside the city. Tens of thousands of residents packed their carriages and belongings, bid farewell to their neighbors, and agreed to meet in Shanglin On the day when we met again in the city, amidst the sound of squeaking wheels, we drove to the designated meeting place outside the city.

The first batch of troops to return was Yang Yidao's selection battalion. As the garrison general of the newly built yamen and the Eastern Capital of the Western Regions, he returned to Shanglin. The transfer order of the governor of the prefecture had been urgently sent back to Dingzhou a few days ago. It is believed that when Yang Yidao led the first batch of immigrants to arrive at Shanglinli, the basic preparations for Shanglinli had already been completed.

Yang Yidao raised the flag slowly. Immediately, the sound of bugles echoed in the air, and the outpost troops began to move out. With the activation of the front army, tens of thousands of immigrant carriages also slowly moved. After that, a huge convoy stretching for dozens of miles spread out on the grassland, which is called a spectacle.

Accompanying this group of immigrants back to Shanglinli was the 5000 red cavalry assigned to Yang Yidao's command. As Li Qing expected, although Fusen was extremely dissatisfied, he still gritted his teeth and sent the [-] cavalry soldiers according to Li Qing's request. People assigned Yang Yidao to Yang Yidao. In order not to cause any accidents on the way, this broken army will be led by Lu Dabing, and after taking them to Shanglinli, they will be handed over to Yang Yidao for integration. Cut off the thoughts of those who want to take the opportunity to escape on the way among the white and yellow immigrants.

The departure of tens of thousands of residents of Bayan Hara made the city feel much empty and quiet. The remaining prairie people in the city are also busy packing their bags. According to the plan, they will leave in the second group, and the second group The number of people is the largest, including not only ordinary residents, but almost all the noble heads who want to move inland will be in this group, including Boyan, Sushun, Nuoqia and others.As for Li Qing's Central Army, Lu Dalin's Lu Division, Wang Qinian's Qi Nian Division, Changsheng Camp, and Whirlwind Camp, there are nearly 20 people in this group.This is also the main force of inward migration.

Thanks to Lu Yiming, a master of internal affairs, everything was handled with ease. Although he was so busy, he finally arranged things in an orderly manner. The team then embarked on the journey.Just as Li Qing expected, after Shang Haibo and Lu Yiming arrived, he finally relaxed, and he became the hands-free shopkeeper with peace of mind, leaving everything to them, while he shut himself in the study, facing a huge The map of the Central Plains began his new round of grand plan drawing.And Tang Hu, who was dizzy when he saw the densely packed place names and lines on the map, after setting up his defense plan, he sat irresponsibly at the door of the study with a knife in his hand, and fell asleep soundly. At the slightest sign of disturbance, the one-eyed eye opened abruptly and scanned sharply.If there are still idlers in Bayan Har City, then Tang Hu is definitely one of them.

The Hengdao Battalion outside the city has more than doubled in size. The one-armed general Guan Xinglong is negotiating with the newly appointed Dingzhou general Jing Dong, who was assigned to him, and his newly promoted deputy general Wang Peng. According to the army's integration plan, Guan Xinglong, as the military leader of the Xidu Protectorate stationed in Shiwei, has been promoted to a partial general.

Not long ago, they were beating life and death, and the sworn enemy suddenly became comrades-in-arms. Both sides felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, and Jing Dong was even more disturbed. He is brave, but he used to command an army with no more than a thousand people at most, and when he was the highest official, he was only a commander of a thousand, but suddenly, he was blessed from heaven and was directly promoted to command an army of [-] cavalry. Among the new generations of the He and Huang clans, he was the first person to be awarded a formal military position by Dingzhou, but he was a general at the beginning. Of course, this excluded Nuoqia, who was after all no the same.

Of course he was happy to be able to command more troops, but being assigned to his former enemy made him feel extremely uneasy. The one-armed general Guan Xinglong was also well-known among the barbarians. Jing Dong was best known for his battle in Dingyuan During the battle, this person greatly embarrassed Lord Boyan, and he led hundreds of cavalry to counterattack. Not only burned the food and grass among tens of thousands of troops, but finally returned to the city safely, and heard that the people who participated in the battle Speaking of the thrilling battle, and the thrill of Guan Xinglong's one-armed rope climbing to the city at the end, even though he was an enemy, Jing Dong also admired him very much. Unexpectedly, he became his subordinate now. It was really good fortune trick people.

The atmosphere in the tent was awkward, Guan Xinglong coughed several times, broke the silence, looked at Jing Dong, and said bluntly: "General Jing Dong, Guan is a warrior, and he is also straightforward, if you have something to say, just say it, if there is something inappropriate , and please General Jing Dong not to take offense!"

Jing Dong whispered: "General, please speak frankly, Jing Dong listens to the teachings!"

Guan Xinglong waved his hand, and said: "What teaching is not teaching, we will soon stir the ladle in the same pot, talking like this, no one will share."

"Not to mention the grievances between our two clans in the past, even in the past few years, our two families have been fighting to death, and now we have suddenly become a family. Not to mention you, I also feel a little weird, presumably General Jing Dong also feels the same!"

Hearing what Guan Xinglong said, Jing Dong felt a little more relaxed, and it turned out that he was not the only one who felt this way. "The general is right."

"Our chief generals are all like this. I'm afraid the soldiers below will be even more miserable. Since the two armies joined forces, there have been several fights. Although no knives or guns have been used, the two sides have fought fiercely. Dozens of soldiers have been injured. This is a dangerous signal, and we must pay close attention to it."

Jing Dong nodded, "Above this matter, the general was fair and did not treat us differently because our army was surrendered. The general will be convinced in the end."

Guan Xinglong shook his head, "Needless to say about surrendering, my commander-in-chief has an agreement with His Majesty Emperor Bayar, you can't count as surrendering. As a soldier, I still admire the combat effectiveness of your grassland soldiers."

Jingdong said gratefully: "Thank you, General!"

"We will be stationed in Shiwei. I don't need to say where Shiwei is. You must have understood that Shiwei's [-] troops are planted on the grassland. Needless to say, they hate us. After we enter Shiwei, I'm afraid that there will be thorns everywhere, and every step of the way is frightening. If we can't unite and work together, I worry that we will suffer a lot, and there will be no bones left. But now, I still can't see the Dingzhou Army and the Bai people. The unity and cooperation among the cavalry, the friendship and mutual respect, even the peaceful coexistence cannot be achieved. Let me tell you the truth, under this situation, I really dare not take you into Shiwei. I don’t want to bring tens of thousands of soldiers in. But he came out with tens of thousands of urns!" At this point, Guan Xinglong's voice was already stern.

Wang Peng and Jing Dong stood up together, "General calm down, it's because we didn't do well, we must restrain our subordinates, and there will be no more trouble."

Guan Xinglong shook his head, "It's not enough just not to cause trouble, you have to find a way to make your subordinates become real comrades-in-arms and trust each other. I know it's very difficult to solve this problem now, but if we don't solve this problem, we won't be able to survive in Shiwei. To win, just imagine, in this way, when the Bai cavalry is charging forward, will they trust the Dingzhou infantry behind them? Or if the Dingzhou infantry is attacking in front, will they trust the guerrilla elite cavalry on both sides? If you don’t believe me, we’ve already lost this battle before it’s fought!”

Wang Peng and Jing Dong were relatively silent.

"To build a good relationship between the two clans, start with the two of you, and then think of ways to integrate the two clans into one. They are both soldiers. I think there will be many ways to think about it. My general is in Bayan Kara is resting for a while, and I, having told the commander in chief, will go back to Dingyuan to get married. When I come back, what I hope to see is an intimate and trusting army, not what it is now .” Guan Xinglong said.

Wang Peng showed a smile on his face. Guan Xinglong's fiancée was Jin Huan'er, the only daughter of Dingyuan doctor Jin Xilai. Originally, after Dingyuan's victory, they should get married, but then Guan Xinglong led his troops away to the grassland, and the matter was delayed. down.

"It's a pity that I can't drink the general's wedding wine!" Wang Peng said regretfully.

Guan Xinglong smiled and said: "I will definitely bring it to you, and you, Jing Dong, the three of us will have another drink when I come back, but you two boys have to prepare a congratulatory gift for me before I leave, This drink was not for nothing."

All three of them laughed, and Jing Dong's tense mood was completely relaxed under Guan Xinglong's teasing. He realized that this one-armed general was not so difficult to deal with, at least he was much more accommodating than his former boss.Well, the boss is going back to get married, so I really need to prepare a congratulatory gift, but this gift is quite troublesome. It is not good if it is too light, but it is not right if it is too heavy. Go back and ask grandpa about it. You should be very experienced in the past.

On March 20th, the second batch started to set off. This group has a large number of people. With the army, the team of nearly [-] people is even more spectacular than the first batch. Li Qing, Shang Haibo, Lu Yiming, Boyan, Sushun and Nuoqi'a were all concentrated in this group of people.Guan Xinglong, who went back to get married, brought more than ten soldiers and dragged a cage covered with black cloth, and joined Li Qing's central army.

"Old Guan, what's in this cage?" A general with an acquaintance carelessly came up to Heibu, and Guan Xinglong jumped in front of him, "Hey, buddy, don't look at this, this is what I gave to my future Wife's gift!"

Several generals looked at each other and walked away with a haha, but they winked at each other. That night, several soldiers who were in charge of guarding the cage were quietly disturbed. Several Dingzhou generals excitedly opened the cage, but saw A newborn fawn is lying in a cage.

"No way?" A general sighed: "Although Lao Guan lacks an arm, seeing how fierce the dragon is, he shouldn't be raising a deer to prepare deer blood now!"

A few people covered their mouths and snickered, and then quietly disappeared into the darkness. A few soldiers woke up, afraid of Guan Xinglong's punishment, but they didn't dare to raise their voices. It was spread among the many senior generals of the army that everyone would laugh out loud whenever they saw Guan Xinglong, making Guan Xinglong baffled.
