Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2191 Look at the night

  『This weather…』

  Cao Chun leaned on the battlements of Yuyang and looked north.

  The howling cold wind swept in from the north, pushing the clouds in the sky, like a shepherd driving a flock of sheep.

  After a period of hard work, Yuyang finally looked a little bit better, and Cao Chun was slightly relieved, not like before. But there is still a shadow in Cao Chun's heart, he always feels that war will come to this land again one day...

  Fear does not slow down the coming of war, just like winter snowstorms, what should come will still come. Then it can only be prepared for everything, and when the snowstorm comes, you can face it more calmly.

After experiencing the last battle in Youzhou, Cao Chun was also somewhat relieved to find that the cavalry under his command, after being polished last time, seemed to have sharpened their swords, and their vigor and sharpness were somewhat revealed. .

Back then I commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry, but now that I think about it, it’s just a name. There is still some distance from the so-called real tiger and leopard. It’s like they haven’t been baptized by blood. How much training, the first time you go to the battlefield is always a little flustered, only after the first **** battle can you be reborn...

  The cavalry of the Cao army in Yuyang can be truly called cavalry. If you take time to train them more, and then use these soldiers as the backbone, you may not be able to cultivate a cavalry team that is always comparable to the hussars!

  Cavalry are people and horses.

  The question of people is easy to talk about. Whether it is the land of Youzhou or the north of Jizhou, there is no shortage of warriors. The problem is the horses.

  As long as there are enough war horses, Cao Chun is confident that in the land of Youzhou, he will support war with war and bring out a cavalry that can really fight, a veritable tiger and leopard cavalry!

  So the problem now is to solve the problem of war horses.

  As long as the problem of war horses can be solved, this embarrassing land of Youzhou will be revitalized in an instant...

  Yuyang has salt, iron, grain and grass, but no horses.

  Obviously, it is impossible for war horses to be like the game of the later generations. A horse farm is built next to the city, and then the clansmen with hammers jingle and beat for a while, and then the war horses are automatically added to the warehouse every cycle...

  Of course Cao Chun also wants to raise horses, but first of all he needs to have pastures, secondly he needs to be able to raise them, and then he needs to be able to keep them. However, Cao Chun cannot satisfy any of these three aspects.

  So, before Cao Chun, there is only one road left...

  As the cold wind howled, Cao Chun looked to the north, as if he wanted to see the brilliance in the distance through the gradually lowering night...

  「I hope...everything goes well...」

  Cao Chun was going to go back, but for some reason, Cao Chun suddenly stopped, looked through the battlements, and looked down the city.

  The area under the city was originally Zhang Xi's camp.

  Zhang He, Zhang Junyi...

  Cao Chun was silent for a moment, then raised his head again, patted the battlements, and left.

  In the cold wind, the battlements still stood silently, without saying a word, but the deep marks of knives and axes on the body were still deep, and had not recovered with the passage of time...

  Outside the desert pass, in the camp, there were little fires, and the stars in the sky fell to the ground.

   Zhang He, who flashed through Cao Chun's mind, was standing under the three-color flag at this moment.

  Zhang He stood outside the tent, looking back at the majestic mountains in the darkness.

  Since re-belonging to the Han family, everything seems to be peaceful, and they are no longer afraid of the dark night, and even seem to have a little more hope for the future.

  In the desert, everything looks desolate, especially after it snows, there are no traces of humans or animals.

   Calculated, Zhang He is already thirty-two years old this year

For many things, Zhang Yun started to travel to Youzhou, Jizhou when he was 23 years old, fought on the battlefield, played games in the workplace, and then saw the change of political leaders, and also saw the changes of ants and small people. However, Zhang Xi never found his own position.

Because of all kinds of guesses about General Hussars, Zhang Xi circled and tossed in the desert, but after the final decision was made, he was calm. Even if the result may not be what he wanted, he might still regret it, but he also No resentment for that...

  Zhang Yun has some insights, there are already too many unsatisfactory things in this world.

  The more you ask for more, the more unsatisfactory you will be.

  The less you seek, the less confusion and influence you will receive...

  『General Zhang…』

  The soldiers on the side called softly.

"Ready? ” Zhang He glanced back, “Let’s go, patrolling the camp. 』

  Every night, every other hour, there is a tour of the camp. This was originally the duty of the captain or the school lieutenant. Zhang Yun had a reason not to do it, but Zhang Yun still insisted that Zhao Yun put him in the battalion patrol.

  The flames flickered, and Zhang He walked slowly along the road in the camp. Behind him was a group of hussars on duty.

  In the barracks, everything was orderly, and the soldiers rested in their respective tents. When Zhang He passed by, he could occasionally hear the sound of some soldiers snoring, grinding their teeth and talking in sleep...

  This made Zhang He feel very comfortable and relaxed.

  Everything is the original way, and everything is the best way.

  The more you get, the more things you carry on your body, and as you carry more and more things, the more you can't let go...

   Sometimes I even want to let go, but I can't let go.

  Ding Lingtou wants to give up going south, but he wants to let go, but others don't allow him to let go.

  Ding Lingtou is called Tujinluozhou, which is a new name he gave himself, and of course it is also the name chosen for him from the gods through the bones of the cow...

The Xianbei people failed, so the remaining Xianbei people in the desert are like pieces of fat meat, and many people can't help but let them go. Even if Tujin Luozhou wants these small people to come back, these people will reluctant.

  Gold, silver, fur, population, and the utensils that Xianbei traded or robbed in Han over the years, all made these small people excited and crazy, and they kept taking them and putting them on the horses.

  In the big tent of Ding Lingtou, the voice of fierce words, even the icy cold wind could not cover it, continued to come out. Everyone seemed to want to express their opinions, which caused everyone's opinions to be unclear. There were buzzing voices everywhere in the big tent, but it was difficult to form a unified opinion.

In vain, when Xianbei was weak, these Dingling people, or Gaoche people, who replaced Xianbei's position in the north, did not have a so-called deep background. They were originally affiliated with the Huns, and once knelt down in Under the feet of the Xianbei people, now when you turn over, you can ride the Xianbei people under them to rub and output crazily. This feeling almost makes these Dingling people crazy...

As a pure nouveau riche, Dingling's big tent is almost full of all kinds of luxury goods, from silk and satin to gold and silver, from utensils to utensils. At this stage, the most expensive and best-looking , becomes the only standard.

   Tujin Luozhou has some headaches.

On the one hand, he feels that the current expansion is too fast, which is really not very good. He needs to shrink and reorganize the troops, and then lay a foundation, but on the other hand, the Dingling tribe is still an alliance structure. Therefore, Ding Lingtou's strength has expanded, and other tribes have also expanded. This expansion has even encouraged the voices of other tribes, giving them more confidence to chatter in the big tent.

  People in bitter cold places have some preference for spirits. This is also the place that is ridiculed by the Han people. They think that strong wine is only for barbarians, but for Ding Ling people, they don’t pay so much attention. As long as it is wine, it is really good for anything, even the most savory kumiss. It can also be enjoyed with a drink.

  Everyone wants to eat meat, wants to drink, and then eats more meat and drinks more wine.

   This is the problem Ding Lingtou is facing now. He wants to slow down other tribes, but other tribes don't want to. The countless harvests made these people spend their hearts and blindfolded them.

  『Those Han people with tricolor flags are silent! I have seen it with my own eyes! Those Han people are all in the south, only those Wuhuan people! 』

  『We stopped, isn’t it just to take advantage of those Wuhuan people? 』

  『Wuhuan people are not good people! They robbed the south today, and they will come to the north tomorrow! Sooner or later we'll have to fight them! 』

"What are you waiting for? Why not fight now! Who is afraid of whom? ! 』

  『Wuhuan people are trash, my men can beat three of them! 』

"that is! Why stop? unstoppable…"

  The chaotic voice made Tujin Luozhou more and more irritable, "It's done! Listen to me! 』

  The voices in the big tent gradually stopped.

  The surroundings became quiet, except for the whistling wind around.

  Tujin Luozhou looked around slowly for a week, and just opened his mouth to speak, when he heard someone running outside, shouting: "Big boss! big boss! Not good, not good! The Wuhuan people are calling, calling! 』

  In the big tent, after a few breaths, there was a louder sound than before!

  Dingling people couldn't let go, and Wuhuan people couldn't let go either.

  The Wuhuan people also felt that this was a great opportunity. The confidence of the Wuhuan people lies in Liu He, and Liu He's confidence does not entirely come from Zhao Yun, and even Liu He is faintly dissatisfied with Zhao Yun...

  Because Liu He thought that Zhao Yun would help him settle Youzhou, but it didn't. It is Liu He's greatest obsession to control Youzhou and restore the glory of Liu He's father in the past.

   Dark clouds rolled over.

Night falls.

  If you are in Handi at this time, can you see the bright moon hanging high?

  Although the area to the south is naturally not as cold as the area on Ding Ling's side, it is still desolate as far as the eye can see...

  Ding Lingren’s actions stagnated, which made Liu He and Wuhuan people Lou Ban feel very confused. To solve the confusion, we can’t just think about it in situ, but actually do it...

  A tentative attack, if this is in the hands of the talk, it is called "Trying Hands".

Liu He stood on the hill, looking at the bright moon in the sky, watching silently, thinking, a sense of nostalgia slowly came to his heart, and the face of his father Liu Yu appeared in his mind, but he didn't know what At that time, there is no longer a clear outline, only a general impression remains.

  My lord father...

  Unknowingly, Liu He woke up from the memories, only felt his cheeks were cold, and reached out to touch them, only to find that he had shed two lines of tears unknowingly.

  The bright moon was still hanging high in front of my eyes, and there were faint footsteps coming from under the hill. After a while, someone shouted from below: "Liu Shijun! The leaders of Wuhuan have all arrived...』

  In Liu He's central army tent, a huge map is placed in the center. Under the light of the torch, the red mark is like flowing blood. The Wuhuan people stood beside the map, their eyes fixed on the map.

  『Our most important target is not Ding Lingren, but Yuyang. 』

  Liu He stood by the side of the map and said slowly, "The Xianbei people hate us, but they also hate the Dingling people...so this time...they will cooperate with us...Our goal is still Yuyang! Iron and salt from Yuyang. With them, we can be regarded as trees with roots, not grass that withers in winter! 』

  Nanlou from Wuhuan frowned and said, "How can we guarantee that the Xianbei people will listen to us?" just in case…"

   Liu He smiled and said, "They dare not. 』

"Xianbei people have been injured now..." Liu He said slowly, "Think about it for yourself, above the desert, a wounded wolf should eat the younger ones first, take care of the wound, and think about other things. Say no matter what, just take the injury to challenge the tiger and leopard? 』

  Nanlou and several Wuhuan people heard this, they couldn't help but smiled and nodded.

  『Let’s talk straight, Liu Shijun, what exactly do we need to do? ’Nanlou asked.

  Liu He smiled slightly, and pointed to the map, "Come on, look here...someone has sent Xianyuyin to contact the Xianbei people, I believe there will be news back soon..."

  At this moment, what Liu He mentioned, which is less than silver, is in Kirbineng's account.

Ke Bineng, who was sitting in the big tent, stared at the gifts from Xian Yuyin, especially when he saw some bacon and good wine, he couldn't help picking them up, sniffing them, " It's really good stuff...」

"I remember that there were a lot of these things in the royal court..." Kebi Neng smiled, then slowly put away his smile, stared at Xian Yuyin and said, "It's just that we ran away, and then we couldn't bring these things with us." Go, some are broken, some are burned, and some, just fall into your hands... right? 』

  When Kirby can stop smiling, the sense of oppression in the air gradually increases, just like a bear, it looks cute when it smiles stupidly, but it is creepy when it shows its minions.

  Xian Yuyin frowned, and said: "King Xianbei, these are all things in the past...Let's talk about the current agreement..."

  『The agreement you mentioned...is to fight with you guys? Kirby said slowly.

   Xian Yuyin nodded, "That's right. This is good for you too. 』

  「Well, the benefit...」 Kirby also nodded, remained silent for a long time, then stood up, "Speaking of benefits... come, follow me, I will show you another benefit..."

  For some reason, Xian Yuyin suddenly panicked. But before he could ask any more questions, Kirby had already walked out of the big tent, and Xian Yuyin had no choice but to follow.

"Many years ago, I admired Dahan...I have been to Dahan, but I couldn't go to Luoyang...I heard that Luoyang is prosperous and rich, everyone...the land is warm, no matter what you plant, you can get a good harvest …Is this true? ’ said Kirby, walking forward.

   Xianyu Yin didn't know it, but he still replied: "That's right, the big man is extremely rich..."

  『Yeah, the big man is so rich...very rich...』 Kirby could nod his head, as if he agreed.

  Xian Yuyin said: "As long as Your Majesty is willing to cooperate with us, we can report to General Hussars to set up a border market, and then..."

"I know! I know...then get those great wines and meats? Kebi Neng interrupted Xian Yuyin's words, hehe smiled, "As long as we cooperate, there will be wine and meat... I know this..."

"By the way, do you think...we were defeated in the desert, we just lost courage and dared not fight..." Kebi Neng suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Xian Yuyin, "You know, we Sooner or later, you will still be the master of this desert...don't forget this...』

  Xianyu Yin was stunned for a moment, and then said somewhat perfunctorily: "Oh...okay, got it..."

  Hearing that Kirby could say that, Xian Yuyin suddenly felt it was ridiculous, what kind of master of the desert is this? It's just that Xian Yuyin doesn't think it's necessary to have an **** fight with Kirby here, anyway, as long as Kirby is willing to cooperate, as for whether Kirby is willing or not, then Xian Yuyin doesn't care, and doesn't want to care.

"you know? Hehe...Okay, as long as you know..." Kebi could stare at Xian Yuyin, and suddenly smiled, "Okay, here we are, right here..."

  Kirby can reach out and point to the tent beside him.

   "This is..." Xian Yuyin asked suspiciously.

"look by youself. ’Kirby raised his chin slightly as a gesture.

  The curtain of the tent was opened little by little, and then Xian Yuyin saw the things in the big tent exposed little by little, and felt his scalp go numb, making his whole body tense up instantly!

The tent was opened, revealing two or three people inside, all smiling with their mouths open, showing yellow and black teeth, seeming to be very happy, but also like wolves thirsting for flesh and blood, Xian Yuyin suddenly felt a chill in his heart , because he recognized that these people were...

   Before Xian Yu Yin could turn his thoughts around, he heard a bad wind blowing from behind his head, and the next moment, the sky was spinning, and he saw a headless corpse slowly falling down...
