Chapter 97 News from the Mongols

Smoke rose in the depths of the grassland, and the Hu tribe who came to chase the water and plants began to cook supper.

Green grass, green smoke, sunset, horses and sheep are neighing. If there is no dispute, it will be an extremely harmonious picture.

However, there will be disputes when there are too many people, and the world will never develop according to people's wishful thinking.

A long way from the Hu tribe, a cavalry team was looking at the faint blue smoke in the distance behind the hills. It was a border army team led by Qi Pingbo.

"General, you have received accurate news." At this time, a border army dressed in Hu was reporting to Qi Pingbo.

"There were disputes among the Hu people two years ago. Some tribes surrendered to the Mongols, and some tribes refused to surrender, and then they fought themselves.

The tribe that Shang Zhen mentioned was unwilling to surrender to the Mongols, and they were first attacked.

But now he has been defeated and it is said that there are not many people left. Now he has hid in Tiewei Mountain."

There are naturally people in the border troops brought by Qi Pingbo, who understand Hu language. They have already found out some of the current situations within the Hu people.

Qi Pingbo didn't care about the little things, and what he cared about was just how much threat the Hu people had to the Han area.

And these border troops are already familiar with Shang Zhen, so they naturally have to help Shang Zhen find out about the news about the wedding candy.

Of course it is not easy to find wedding candies, but the bearded tribe with wedding candies is definitely easy to find, so in the end they still got the news they wanted.

"The Hu people want to surrender to the Mongolians?" Qi Pingbo frowned.

At the root of this, a border citizen like Shang Zhen is just an ordinary border citizen. How could he know the general trend of the world?

In fact, although the Hu people sneaked into Yukou Village and abducted the population and livestock there two years ago, it was not a big deal in the overall situation.

Because the population of the Hu people is limited and there is no leader in the group, the Mongols in the north are now the most threatening to the Han area.

If the Hu people were conquered by the Mongols, there would be more trouble in the Han area.

In Qi Pingbo's view, who knew the situation, although there were some pre-Qin Great Walls blocking the inland in the northwest and north.

However, the Great Wall is like a big-eyed leaking child due to its age and is full of holes. If the Mongolians and Hu people join forces, the situation in the inland areas of Han will inevitably be tight.

"General, but we also got an important piece of information." The border army reported again.

"Tell me, what are you trying to keep at this time?" Qi Pingbo said angrily.

"The people we found said that when they saw Hu people put out horses during the day, someone was putting up a group of horses shorter than Hu horses," said the border army.

What is a horse shorter than a Huma? At least Shang Zhen was confused when he heard it.

A horse that is shorter than a Hu horse is naturally a foal!

However, when Shang Zhen heard the meaning of the army over there, he was definitely not talking about the little foal.

Shang Zhen knew very little and didn't understand, but Qi Pingbo's eyes were already lit.

"Mongolian horse?" Qi Pingbo raised his eyebrows and asked the Bian Jun.

"It should be that the people who saw it couldn't understand it. They said it was the first time they saw that kind of horse." The border army replied.

"Mongolian horses appeared in Humali-" Qi Pingbo had already pondered, and then he asked again, "Did this group of Hu people surrender to the Mongolians?"

"I heard that there is not yet." The border army hurriedly replied.

"Have you asked about how many Mongolian horses are there?" Qi Pingbo asked again.

"Not many, only twenty horses are like." The border army replied again.

Qi Pingbo nodded and stopped talking, but then he took out a map and spread it on the ground and looked carefully.

"What is a Mongolian horse?" Shang Zhen saw Qi Pingbo busy and naturally did not dare to disturb him. He pulled the report's border army to ask in a low voice.

"Hu horse refers to Hu people's horses. This kind of horse runs fast and looks particularly majestic. It is said that it was first produced in Dayuan.

Mongolian horses refer to another type of horse, which is similar to the horses in our Han area. They are short and do not run faster than Hu horses. They look like the kind of horses when we Han people plow the fields." The border army explained.

"Oh." Shang Zhen understood after hearing what he said, "Then Mongolian horses are not as good as Hu horses."

Shang Zhen had no idea about Mongolian horses, but he was still very horny about Hu horses.

The so-called Hu horse is the same as the famous Dayuan horse mentioned in the previous dynasty.

"The Hu horse is famous in Dayuan, with a sharp edge and a thin bone.

The bamboo sticks have sharp ears, and the wind enters the four hooves lightly.

There is no space in your mind, and it is truly a matter of life and death.

Xiaoteng has this, and he can travel thousands of miles."

How could Shang Zhen, who is an endorser, not memorize this poem? Look at what he wrote in that poem. Shang Zhen cannot write it without the brilliant writing, but Hu Ma is indeed extremely handsome!

"You can't say that." The border army knew that Shang Zhen didn't know much about horses and explained patiently, "Although the Mongolian horse is short, slow to sprint, has good endurance, and has very powerful long-distance marching.

Moreover, it is not picky about food and can eat anything.

But this is not important. The most important thing is that Mongolian horses will not be frightened or exploded on the battlefield, and will not be scared."

"Oh. Be taught." Shang Zhen gave in a pretty good manner.

Shang Zhen's action amused the border army.

No one in the army did not admire the strong man. He was also present when Shang Zhenjian shot the Hu people a few days ago.

The bows that Shang Zhen used snatched from the Hu people were already more than one stone bow.

"Stone" is a unit of weight.

The way to measure how much pulling a bow is, is to hang a bow and drop a heavy object on the bow string until the heavy object completely pulls the bow open.

If that heavy object is a stone, then this bow is a stone bow.

In fact, the bow in the army, the Yishi bow is basically the strongest bow, and it is also the standard equipment in the army.

Most people don’t understand it very well, just the weight of one stone is about 150 kilograms.

But the bow that Shang Zhen snatched could only be pulled by half with one stone, which required about two hundred kilograms of strength.

In the simplest way, Shang Zhen used his arms to pull the bow with about 200 kilograms, and then shot the arrow about 200 steps.

It can be imagined how hard it is for a person to use about 200 pounds of strength to pull a bow.

That's pulling apart rather than lifting weights.

Weightlifting can rely on the power of the thighs, waist and abdomen, but the ability to use the bow is limited after all.

Moreover, pulling a bow and shooting archery is not a single stroke, especially a continuous bead shooting method like Shang Zhen. It is really like a "pa" and three bows are drawn one after another.

But that day, Shang Zhen shot two consecutive beads and opened six bows. Shang Zhen's performance really shocked the eyes of the border soldiers all over the floor!

So, not only Qi Pingbo secretly fell in love with Shang Zhen, but even the border troops were looking forward to Qi Pingbo bringing Shang Zhen into the army!

"Okay, everyone is here!" Qi Pingbo spoke.

And when more than twenty border troops gathered together, Qi Pingbo said, "Ma Rulong, while it's getting dark, you can't get in there and see where the tent where the Mongolians live."

After Qi Pingbo said this, the expressions of the border soldiers who had a relaxed look on their faces became serious.

They have already learned something from Qi Pingbo's words.
