On the vast grassland, the Xi cavalry composed of more than 3,000 people and horses were walking south in a mighty manner.

After years of tempering the grassland war, the Xi clan's cavalry has become very elite. The Xi clan's cavalry, which has more than a thousand people, is not considered a load cavalry, each cavalry is one person and three horses. The exquisitely embroidered saddle is hung with two bows on both sides, and two large quivers are tied to the fullest, and it is galloping and shaking.

As for the hoofs on the horseshoe and the Sui sword made of fine iron, they are all rated by the Han army, which makes the Xi clan racers' long-range raid ability and melee fighting ability more than one level higher than other grassland cavalry.

"Mr. Master, is Huaihuang Town ahead?"

After hearing the subordinates' inquiry, Qi A Shu listened and looked into the distance. Zhuma stopped and looked for a while, but saw a wide lake ahead with towering trees on the lakeside, but there were many beautiful houses in the monumental building along the lakeside.

Qi A Shu came to Huaihuang Town two years ago, but it was clearly a wasteland, so the scene in front of him surprised him a little.

Not far away, camel bells sounded, and a team of horse gangs coming from the northeast were also heading towards Huaihuang Town. The caravan had hundreds of pack horses, and the pack horses had two large wooden boxes. The gang was obviously not afraid of these fully armed cavalrymen who had peeped at their property and passed by the cavalry openly.

Then Qia Shu found the head of the horse gang.

The leader of the horse gang obviously had seen the world. After seeing Qia Shu, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he saluted openly.

Qi A Shu saw the other party dressing, with two huge silver rings hanging around his earlobe and braids tied around his head. Although he was dressed as a marshal, he spoke in a straight Chinese language. It turned out that the leader of the horse gang was a marshal, and one of his dozen sons suddenly heard the news. He transported mountain goods, medicinal materials, tiger skin, bear galls, and mountain ginseng from the deep mountains and forests of Liaodong, and moved them to Huaihuang Town.

When Qia Shu asked about dozens of gorgeous houses by the lake, the man smiled and said, "Report to this adult, this is Anguli Nao Lake."

Qi A Shu heard this and said in surprise: "It's really Naohu Lake in Anguli. It's like this." Qi A Shu also spoke Chinese. With in-depth interactions with the Han people in recent years, most of the people in Shi De Xi can speak a few Chinese words, and generals like Qi A Shu are as good as military commanders. Although sometimes they don't speak Chinese well, they can hear them all.

Now Chinese has replaced Turkic language and has become a common language on the eastern grassland.

"You don't know, sir, that last time I listened to the Han merchants in the Central Plains, the wind and sand of this Huaihuang Town is extremely windy and sandy, which is very unacceptable to those delicate people in the Central Plains. Only the scenery of Anguli Nao Lake is slightly better. There are also trees to block the wind, so I fell in love with it. Now, Han merchants from Youjing have moved out of the city and live here. Now, you see Anguli Nao Lake has become the name of Xiaoshaolingyuan."

Qia Shu suddenly saw that the lakeside was full of colors. In the past, the fishing boats on the lake had been replaced by a row of pleasure boats, which had a view of the south of the Yangtze River. There were many Han women wearing beautiful clothes by the lakeside, which made Qia Shu's cavalry all stunned.

The man smiled and said, "These are all daughters or relatives of Han merchants. I heard that merchants in Han areas are looked down upon. But there are many noble people on the grassland who like to get engaged with these Han women? Moreover, Han merchants are even more generous in marrying their daughters. They don't have to worry about having a rich dowry and food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Now everyone on the grassland hopes to marry a Han woman."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qi A Shu's subordinates were envious.

There are countless beautiful houses and beautiful houses in Anguli Lake. Qia Shu thought to himself that Huaihuang Town is as prosperous as a servant. This lake is several miles away from Huaihuang Town.

Thinking of this, Qi A Shu led his men and horses to continue moving forward. Only then did the cavalry see the tall city walls of Huaihuang Town and the Caoshi outside the city wall. The Hu Han people gathered in the Caoshi City. The first time they came to Huaihuang Town, the cavalry of Shidexi, were stunned again when they saw such prosperity.

The son who suddenly cried beside him, Zhiqi A Shu was the military leader of Huaihuang Town, and now he had a sense of understanding and took the initiative to say: "Now, Huaihuang and Yuyi Towns, the two towns, have all reached tens of thousands of entries. Let's not talk about us anymore. Even the Han merchants said that these two cities are almost in line with Youjing."

"Youjing!" Qia Shu's subordinates all showed longing expressions.

One person said, "It's like this in Huaihuang Town. I wonder what the scenery of Youjing should be? I wish we could go to Youjing to play the show."

"Don't think about it. Youjing has already had the thunder cavalry regiment and the Wansheng Army stationed there. There is no need for other troops to join the army. But you have heard of it, Youjing may not be much better than Huaihuang Town."

The suddenly hilarious son smiled and said, "Yes, the Han area is more prosperous now, so I can't say it in the future. In addition, the two new cities built on Bailang Mountain and the Qin River in Wuhou are watching on the grassland?"

"Yes, my son must live in the big city in the future and make wood in the house." said a young cavalryman.

Another person scolded: "What are you saying? Our family members of the Xi family lived in yurts."

Qi A Shu always disagrees with several subordinates, and they are more accustomed to the customs of the Han people or the customs of the Xi people.

After the army arrived outside the city, Qia Shu ordered his troops to rest directly outside the city, and entered the city to pay homage to Yinghefu.

Yinghefu was in the mansion and heard that Quai Ah Shu came and met him immediately.

Qia Shu first said, "Terminating the army, Qia Shu led 3,000 cavalry to Huaihuang Town this time."

Yinghefu nodded and said, "I understand. This year it's our Yinghefu tribe's turn to go to Huaihuang Town. Are the cattle and sheep in the tribe good?"

Qi A Shu replied happily: "It's good. I don't know how to use the excess beef and mutton and skin in the autumn of the past year. But this year, Han merchants from Huaihuang Town came to our tribe to collect the skin and pickle beef and mutton. Except for the ones that were reserved for winter, the rest of the excess were sold and exchanged for money and cloth."

Yinghefu laughed and said, "Okay, but Huaihuang Town and I are a expensive place. We have spent all the money on you before we can run away. You have to pay close attention to your brothers."

Qia Shu smiled and said, "I understand, I understand, we will watch."

While speaking, one person entered the house and said, "The Protector of the Great is in urgent need of military information, and the two military leaders."

Ying Hefu was stunned when he heard this, "The news of the Great Protector is so fast. You knew it as soon as you came to Huaihuang Town. Qia Shu, come with me."

"yes."

At that moment, the two of them came to the city guarding mansion in the inner city. You should know that the capital of Ruoshui Prefecture is located in Yuyi Town. Although Huaihuang Town has a city guarding mansion, since Ying Hefu moved the military mansion to the city, Huaihuang Town has become a separatist of one city and two palaces.

The five major commanders of the five tribes of the Zhao State Grassland. The Ying Hefu tribe recognized the strongest strength. The territory was located in Daluopo in the west (Note 1), the east to Huaihuang Town, the north to Wuhou Qinshui, and the south to the Great Wall. Not only did it monitor Yuan Junzhang in Mayi, the main task was to guard against the Turkic Khanate in Wuyuan.

Hearing that Wang Junguo summoned him, Ying Hefu, Qia Shu went to see Wang Junguo together.

After seeing Wang Junguo, Qi A Shu felt a stern in his heart. Although Wang Junguo was appointed as the custodian for less than a year, his reputation on the grassland was almost the point where children cried. He eliminated the rebellion of Yan Yeli's tribe and suppressed the Khitan uprising. Wang Junguo could be said to be like a murderer.

When Qia Shu saw Wang Junguo sitting on Hu's bed without anger, he went up to pay homage and said, "Qia Shu pays homage to the Protector!"

Wang Junguo nodded calmly and said, "You are Qia Shu. Yinghefu has been praising you in front of Bendu Protector, very smart and capable."

Qi A Shu knew that Han officials liked their subordinates to be modest, so he said, "Master Tongjun praised me so much."

Wang Junguo refused to say anything. He then congratulated Yingfu and said, "Ying Hefu commands the army, do you know what the Protector of the Bendu came to you?"

Yinghefu said, "Prespect, please say that."

Wang Junguo immediately took out something and said, "The King of Zhao sent a golden arrow to the grassland tribes that the tribes of the grassland must arrive near Huaihuang and Yuyi Town before August 15th, and prepare to go south to destroy Liu Heita."

Ying Hefu said in surprise: "Didn't it just sent troops in September?"

Wang Junguo said, "The King of Zhao decided to attack in advance. This time, our three commanders of the Xi tribe, and the Tudiji, Cui Xu and others were all going to mobilize troops, and it is expected to dispatch 60,000 cavalrymen from various units!"

"Sixty thousand!" Yinghefu and Qia Shu were all surprised.

Wang Junguo nodded and said, "This does not include the Han army. If the Han army is dispatched, the Zhao army will have a total of 100,000 troops this time. This will be a life-and-death battle!"

Ying Hefu hesitated and said, "It is OK to send so many troops to each of our tribes, but I am worried that although the Khitan and the three tribes of the Northern Xi tribes are no longer threatening us, the Turkic Luotuli is still peeking at our room to get the Xi tribe. I am afraid that the elders of the Khan Court will not agree."

Wang Junguo said, "Didn't you hear it? This is a life-and-death battle. You don't have to worry about the Turks. As for Shijin, the elders don't have to think about it. Just think about how to go south to fight this battle."

Although Ying Hefu was a little hesitant, Qi A Shu's heart had been turned upside down, with more than 100,000 troops. I heard that when he attacked Li Tang two years ago, he only dispatched 60,000 troops. In just two years, Zhao's troops doubled.

Everyone knows the benefits of conquering the Han land. In recent years, Li Chongjiu would mobilize the grassland cavalry to fight south every autumn. Every year, he had a great victory. Although the rewards after the great victory were not generous, it was a income for many citizens.

After seeing Ying Hefu and Wang Junguo agreeing, Qia Shu stepped forward and said, "The Great Protector, commander, I Qia Shu are willing to be the vanguard and go south to attack Liu Heita."

Wang Junguo's face was stern, and he smiled slightly, saying, "Very good. Now the divisions cannot transfer all their troops so quickly. Just go south for the pioneer and arrive at Youjing first."

Qi A Shu was overjoyed after hearing this, and even thought that he could go to Youjing. This was the first time. Qi A Shu asked, "Will King Zhao personally fight this time?"

Wang Junguo nodded and said, "It's OK."

Qi A Shu was even more happy when he heard this and said, "The last general will lead his army south today."

Yinghefu laughed and said, "Don't be so anxious. Are you still afraid that Youjing will fly? Take a night off and set off tomorrow."
