The general's wife is sick

The army rested on the spot, Ma Menxi and Bai Yiming were on duty together, guarding and guarding, Xie Kun changed shifts with them, the two came over, and Chen Guan handed over pancakes and air-dried rabbit meat.

"It's getting colder as we go north, and my horse is sneezing right now." Ma Menxi took the things Chen Guan handed over and sat down and said.

"I rode my horse to explore the road just now, and found that ten miles to the north at the end of the grassland, where the clouds and fog dissipated, I could see snow-capped mountains."

Xiong Jinghai swallowed the last piece of cake in his mouth, and took two sips of water, "Wangshan ran to death, and seeing the snow-capped mountains shows that the direction is correct, but there are still a few days to go deep, let everyone cheer up, it will take less than two days , we should meet the enemy."

On the morning of the third day after Xiong Jinghai uttered these words, the Northwest Army and the enemy army on the grassland fought a pursuit battle head-on.

On this day, the sky had just turned pale, and the prairie cavalry appeared like ghosts out of thin air. They were only discovered by the lookout post when they were fifteen miles away from the army.

But the first reaction of this group of cavalry was not to kill them, but to turn around and flee back. If it wasn't for the dawn, maybe they would have escaped.

Xiong Jinghai immediately ordered all the soldiers to retreat and attack from a long distance. Armed chariots were the most advantageous, so rows of crossbows were fired, and the scene of arrows raining all over the sky was spectacular.

Even though the leading cavalry had gotten the news that the Northwest Army had mighty chariots from the soldiers who survived the battlefield, they were on guard, but they still had no time to dodge in the face of absolute strength. The iron arrow behind them flew through the air, breaking Kong made a "swoosh" sound, and in the next second, it went straight into the cavalry's chest. They wailed in pain and fell heavily on the grass from their horses.

Endless blood stained the land deep in the grassland, and the bright red stained on the dark green grass blades was proof of sin.

In the end, he led his troops to catch up on horseback from behind, and beheaded all the soldiers who survived the attack from the Liannu. Xiong Jinghai sat on both sides of Heiyun's back with his thick thighs, holding the Mo knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife was dripping blood.

Looking at the red sun rising from the sky, Xiong Jinghai fell into deep thought. The number of this cavalry was not so much an enemy army but more like a small group of scouts. It seemed that the soldiers he sent back to report had played a role.

Right now, there must be many scouts on the grassland who are divided into small groups and divided into multiple directions to investigate on the grassland.

This group of cavalry has been strangled by them, and they cannot go back to return. I believe that the enemies in the old nest will soon find that they have penetrated deep into the grassland.

"Everyone, clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and move forward at full speed!"

Taking all the surviving horses for his own use, put on the reins, and fell behind the team, Xiong Jinghai ordered the whole army to attack, and they wanted to break into the enemy's interior before all the scouting teams returned to recover.

On Ji Liu's side, he is looking at the newborn foal at the racecourse.

He sneaked out of the house while the nanny was taking the baby away to nurse him.

Sister Chun went out to buy fried cakes for him, and the ingredients were simmering soup in the kitchen. Ji Liu rarely had a free time. From the time he gave birth to the present, he was watched closely for seven or eight days.

The old lady Ji said that after giving birth, the baby can't see the wind and needs to be raised in the house, but he is not a person who can hold back. Today, while everyone is busy, he slipped out to get some air.

After all, he was a doctor, he was interested in his body, even though he went out, Ji Liu was wrapped in thick clothes to keep him warm from head to toe, standing in front of the stable, he grabbed a handful of hay from the feed trough and kneaded it in his hands.

All the mares brought back from the grassland have given birth to ponies, and these ponies that can stand at birth are jumping happily in the stable at the moment.

Suddenly hearing a noise from the inner courtyard, Ji Liu said inwardly that he was sorry, afraid that someone went to his room and found that he was not there, dropped the feed, and had no time to clap his hands, so Ji Liu hurried back.

Walking back from the gravel road, slipping at the base of the wall, Ji Liu was lying on the side of the wall like a gecko, watching from the side as Cheng hurriedly came out of the house calling "Young Master", he tiptoed to avoid Cheng and returned to the house, Quickly took off the clothes on his body and stuffed them under the bed, jumped on the bed, and pulled the quilt over.

When he heard Cheng's shout again, Ji Liu quickly stopped him, fearing that if he continued to shout, he would call Mrs. Ji over.

"Master!" Cheng Cheng entered the room, his round eyes widened, "Are you in the room?"

"I went to the toilet in the back just now." Ji Liu lied without changing his expression.

"Then I'll tell you to keep quiet, so I won't worry for nothing." Cheng Nian walked to the bedside and filled soup for him.

Ji Liu sat up and breathed a sigh of relief, "The taste is bad, so I dare not speak."

Walking to the bed with the soup bowl in hand, he handed it to Ji Liu, "This soup has been simmering for two hours, you can try it."

While Ji Liu was drinking the soup, Cheng Cheng suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something hidden under the bed, with a corner exposed, he squatted down, "What is this?"

Ji Liu coughed, and quickly stopped him, but it was still a step too late, "Don't!"

What was dragged out by the composition was a ball of clothes, and he stood up angrily, his cheeks puffed up slightly, "Master, you actually lied to me??"

Ji Liu cleared his throat uncomfortably, and Tao Hua's eyes showed a little embarrassment, "I'm just bored, you see, the nanny took Zhan Qi to nurse, even the three of them still have time to go outside, but I want Staying in the house all the time, good luck, you just pretend you haven't seen anything!"

"The old lady told you to stay in the house and not leave the house for a month. You have slipped out in just a few days. No, I will tell the old lady!"

Throwing down his clothes, Cheng Cheng wanted to go out, Ji Liu hurriedly called him, "Cheng Cheng!"

At this time, Sister Chun also came back from the door, she still had hot fried cakes in her arms, and she raised her foot to enter the door, so she asked casually, "What's wrong?"

After being taught a lesson by Ji Liu, the relationship between the two has obviously improved, but they are still full of anger, "Master slipped out secretly, stuffed his clothes under the bed, and lied to others!"

"Master, the weather is getting colder. If you freeze, you won't be able to see the young master and the others." Sister Chun was very smart and threatened Ji Liu with her three children.

"I know I was wrong, and I will stay indoors from now on." Ji Liu only wanted to escape the disaster as soon as possible, but after the two reconciled, their ability to sue behind the scenes improved a lot.

Slowly stirring the soup bowl in his hand, Ji Liu suddenly felt restless.

Xiong Jinghai led the army all the way to the north. After four consecutive days of traveling, they finally officially entered the grassland on the seventh day.

Here at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, the temperature is much lower than in Yingkou, but the water and grass are abundant here, and the livestock are everywhere. The grassland people really live along the river, and their yurts are like big gray mushrooms growing on the grassland. The formation momentum is not much smaller than the town size of the Chang'an Dynasty.

But in the face of the sudden pressure of Xiong Jinghai's northwest army, the grassland army immediately fought back. The high-pitched horns sounded, and the ordinary herdsmen and livestock were in chaos.

Fighting in short combat, covered by rain of arrows, shields are as thin as paper in front of Liannu, and the sound of iron hooves, Xiong Jinghai relied on the advantage of the chariot to push the opponent back step by step. Under the horseshoes were not only the grass that was trampled on, but also the herdsmen left behind when they fled. of debris.

The screams on the grassland were intertwined, and people and livestock were either injured or dead everywhere, and the ground was covered with blood. The grassland people suffered heavy losses only halfway through the offensive.

In the past, they always did evil in Yingkou, but now they have brought the battlefield to their territory. These prairie people know how to write the word despair.

So, someone came out of the yurt heavily protected by soldiers and surrendered.

The man was dressed in a heavy and rich fur coat, and on his head was a felt hat from which his hair hung in many braids.

His eyes are deep, his nose is straight, his face is weather-beaten, his dark skin is strong, his steps are steady when he walks, he is not angry and majestic, and the temperament of a superior is prominent.

Xiong Jinghai straddled the horse, with the cold light of Mo Dao in his hand, Heiyun raised his front hooves, and neighed extremely arrogantly, scaring the prairie people back frequently, reaching out to protect the person in the middle.

Behind Chen Guan and Xie Kun separated on both sides, Ma Menxi led people to clean up outside, and surrounded ordinary herdsmen and soldiers together. Now they have a unified name called "Captives!"

Seeing that the general situation was over, "This general!" the man in the middle said.

His Central Plains language was excellent, which made Xiong Jinghai frown deeply, his brows raised. He thought of the few people captured alive by Ji Liu, and the evil invasion plan of the prairie people, and his heart was as hard as iron.

"Who are you?" Tightening the reins, Xiong Jinghai let Hei Yun stay where he was, and looked down at these people.

"Under Albu Khan is the owner of this grassland." Albu Khan said calmly.

"Master of the grassland?" Xiong Jinghai mocked, "You are also worthy to be the master of the grassland?"

"What do you mean, general?" Albu Khan suppressed his anger, his eyes were burning but he also knew that at this time, people were using swords and me as fish and meat, so he dared not speak out.

Xiong Jinghai snorted coldly and did not answer. He said loudly, "Captain Xie, count the men, horses, prisoners, and all the trophies, and bring them all back!"

"Wait!" Albu Khan raised his hand and stopped him, "Our Alaqin tribe is also a noble on the grassland, if this general can let us go, we can offer thousands of cattle and sheep to your dynasty every year. There are countless furs, I promise not to harass you again, and I will offer you the most precious pearl on our grassland!"

Hei Yun stood still, Xiong Jinghai looked at Albu Khan, "Okay, I want things, but I also want people, Captain Xie will take them all away!"

Xiong Jinghai behaved like a ruffian, and this old fellow negotiated conditions with him, depending on whether he was in a good mood and whether he wanted to agree.

"Wait!" With a light voice, a woman came out of the yurt. She had a beautiful face, a light body, and her clothes were equally luxurious. When she walked, her red dress seemed to fly up. "I'll go with you, you Let go of my Ada!"

"Senna!" Albu Khan turned his head and scolded her, "What are you doing out here, hurry up and go in!"

Regardless of his reprimand, the woman named Sena walked up to him, grabbed Albuhan's arm, looked up at Xiong Jinghai, her eyes were full of vigilance, "Ada, I can't see you being arrested alone."

Xiong Jinghai's obsidian-like eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly smiled, trying to comfort her kindly, "Don't worry."

He raised his hand and greeted Xie Kun again, "Take them away together!"

Hearing that they were going to be taken away together, Saina was anxious, "I told you I'll go with you, why don't you let my Ada go!"

Everyone in the Northwest Army present looked at her with caring eyes when they heard what Sena said, "Is this girl stupid?"

Xiong Jinghai was even more amused by her, "You, and your cheap father, have to follow me!"
