Chapter 286 The Road to the South (I)

The first early snow in the seventh year of Xiande suddenly fell to Lingzhou City without any signs. Although it was the first snow, it was floating and blew, and it turned the world white without hesitation.

A long line of figures appeared on the east side of Lingzhou City. The strong Ruoergai war horses were all under them, leaving long traces on the snow. Not far outside the city, the people on the city could clearly see the unique Tubo costumes on the riders and the thick Tubo swords on their waists.

Wu Jiaqiang stood beside Shi Hu and said, "The Tubo long sword is really true. From the perspective of shape, it should be derived from the Tang sword. Like the Tang sword, it has a straight blade, a single edge, a circular blade tip, and a ridge line on the back of the knife, which is extremely sharp."

Shi Hu stood on the gray wall of Lingzhou City and looked at the east. When he saw the figure of the Tubo people, he waved to Wu Jiaqiang and said, "Go." After that, he turned around and walked down the city wall. Wu Jiaqiang was familiar with Shi Hu's temperament, and did not care about his coldness. He rushed down the city wall with his personal guards.

Lingzhou City was an extremely important town during the Tang Dynasty. The Shuofang Army, which was terrifying in all directions, was stationed here. However, with the defeat of the Turks and the emergence of civil strife, the leaders of the Shuofang Army Pugu Huaien and Li Huaiguang rebelled one after another. The Shuofang Army was deeply taboo by the Tang Dynasty. Under constant suppression, the power of the Shuofang Army gradually declined.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the Shuofang Army evolved into the eight northwest towns such as Fengxiang and Fengning. With the rise of Huang Chao, Zhu Wen and the Shatuo people, Li Keyong and others, the eight northwest towns gradually lost the power to control the situation, partly dependent on the Hezhong Military Group and partly dependent on the Northwest Military Group, and finally lost the power of independence.

By the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lingzhou was already an ordinary border town. Feng Jiye guarded here for many years. Now, the Black Eagle Army has firmly controlled this former border town.

More than a dozen Black Eagle cavalry rushed out from the East City Gate at a very fast speed. They stepped on dirty water at the city gate. A soldier guarding the city gate cursed angrily: "It's great to ride a horse. Mom, I've changed into new clothes."

Wu Jiaqiang also came out of the city. Seeing that he was approaching, he gradually slowed down. He cherished his horsepower very much. He stopped suddenly while running quickly. It looked very majestic, but it was harmful to horsepower. Wu Jiaqiang would never do such a spoiled thing.

The cavalry on the opposite side also controlled the speed of the horse, and when the two men met, they could stop easily.

Dawagongle, who was covered with snow on his head, held his horse's head and looked at the cavalry of the Black Diao Army. Dabu was encircled and suppressed by the Black Diao Army in Bailongjiang. Almost all the troops were gone. Although he was not in harmony with Dabu, he was a Tubo from Hunmo's tribe. His feelings for the Black Diao Army were very complicated, both hatred and grateful, and were both scared and friendly.

When the Zhou cavalry approached, Dawagong's eyes shrank for a moment. He had already recognized the person. This person was the Black Eagle Army Scout Cavalry who was sneaking into his attack on the Bailong River. Looking at the person coming with a smile on his face, Dawagong felt a little embarrassed, annoyed, and a little admired.

Wu Jiaqiang's mood was not that complicated. He looked at the former prisoner and bowed: "Below is Wu Jiaqiang, the commander of the left wing of the Jinshan Camp of the Black Eagle Army, who is here to welcome the leader of the frontman." He smiled and said: "After a few years of separation, the leader is still as graceful as he is."

Dawagong still remembers Wu Jiaqiang's hateful smiley face. He thought to himself: "I haven't seen each other for several years, and even the soldiers have become generals." He said: "Thank you, General Wu, for coming out of the city to greet him. I received the general's order to come braved the heavy snow."

Dawagong said that he was not worthy of his words. They rushed all the way from the Ruoergai grassland without any delay. If the soldiers under his command were not as strong as a cow, and were used to this thousand-mile march, they would be exhausted halfway through the journey.

Wu Jiaqiang also realized this. His face became more serious. He said, "According to the general's order, please ask the leader to enter the city."

Wu Jiaqiang and Zhou Qing have always been inseparable. Zhou Qing is meticulous in his work, and Wu Jiaqiang is a handsome man. In recent years, the Black Eagle Army has expanded its army very quickly. These two men are elites in the Black Eagle Army's Lion Camp, and have made many military achievements, and have both become figures who have led the army alone.

Zhou Qing followed Guo Jiong to Daliang. The deputy governor Guo Jiong only brought 5,000 people into Daliang. The generals under him were Bai Shuangyong, Xiang Shanxing, Hu Li and others. Zhou Qing was a little short of his ability to become the commander of the first battalion of the Left Xiang Army of Longwei Army.

However, Wu Jiaqiang, who stayed in Lingzhou, became the general who commanded 5,000 people with great enthusiasm.

In recent years, the Tang people in Gua and Liang 11 Prefectures have been continuously flocking to Lingzhou. These Tang people formed the Jinshan Camp of the Black Eagle Army. The Jinshan Camp was divided into the left and right wings, with a total of 10,000 people. Moreover, with the return of Gua and Sha Han people, the Jinshan Camp was still expanding.

These Han athletes from the two states of Liang lived by the side of Hu people such as Dangxiang, Uighurs or Tubo. The years of battles between Hu and Han made these Han athletes really strong. The Jinshan Camp composed of them was more brave than other battalions, and their combat effectiveness was chasing the old camp of the Black Diao Army. The dozens of personal guards around Wu Jiaqiang were all the most brave and powerful soldiers selected from the Jinshan Camp. They stood behind Wu Jiaqiang on horseback. Although they were motionless, their fierceness was undoubtedly revealed.

Dawagong was used to being a big leader, and his temperament had a significant change compared to the previous few years. He patted the snowflakes on his body and said lightly: "General Cheng, I am the commander of Hunmo Zhuoni, and the leader has become a thing of the past." He walked into the city gate without looking back, and said casually: "There will be a thousand Ruoergai war horses coming over. This is a gift to the Black Eagle Army. The snow is heavy, so let these tired war horses enter the city as soon as possible."

The Jinshan Camp expanded its army too quickly, and there was a shortage of horses. At this time, hearing that a thousand war horses had arrived, each of them had lit up their faces. Wu Jiaqiang whispered to a personal guard behind him: "I'll send the head man to the city, and you can immediately organize someone to pick up the horses. If one is missing, I will punish you to be a chef." The personal guard did not say anything, turned his head and headed into the city. He hurriedly passed by Dawagong, let go of the horse's hooves, and ran towards the military barracks of Jinshan Camp in the city.

As usual, Shi Hu sat upright on the stage with a tiger face and received the great gift from Dawagong. When Dawagong finished his ceremony, Shi Hu stood up and said, "General Dawagong has come here to work hard. I have prepared some wine. Please."

Since Shi Hu talked to Hou Dayong in a heart-to-heart talk, he has become more like a "Stone Buddha". He has rarely spoken in heaven. After finishing his business, he will hold the "Jingang Sutra" or discuss martial arts with the monk Kongjian. However, this kind of exchange seems to be closer to Shi Hu's understanding of the Buddha through practicing martial arts.

When Kongjian first arrived in the Black Eagle Army, he was defeated by several lion camp detective cavalry and was defeated by a joint siege. He had a high understanding and immediately realized the essential difference between the martial arts competitions of martial arts and the fight in the army. While teaching Shi Hu’s personal guards martial arts, he was thinking about the tricks of group battles. The so-called heroes’ views were similar. Kongjian finally created a Beidou Seven Star Formation that was quite similar to Hou Dayong’s Dragon and Tiger Formation back then.

Shi Hu saw Kongjian's Big Dipper Seven Star Formation and revealed the secret in one sentence: "This formation is not as good as Hou Shuai's Dragon and Tiger Formation back then. The Dragon and Tiger Formation has been eliminated in the actual combat of the army, and this formation is also useless." Looking at Kongjian, who was gray-headed, Shi Hu said: "The Big Dipper Seven Star Formation may be applicable to the personal guards, so let's train in the personal guards."

Shi Hu and Dawagong arrived at the back hall and sat down on the coffee table. The meat that was suitable for Tubo's habits, which were fishy and fishy, ​​was passed down one after another. In addition to the servants who were serving, all the relevant people retreated.

Shi Hu had been in the army for many years, and his eating habits had long been roughened. He ate meat with bloodshot without saying a word. This is very different from Hou Dayong. Hou Dayong has always been very particular about diet. Every time he goes to a place, he always brings several chefs, including Shuzhong, Daliang Mansion, and Lingzhou land. Food has become one of the special hobbies that Hou Dayong does not want to control. He often laughs at himself: "Food, sex, and food is also at the forefront. It is not a big mistake to be a little indulgent."

Shi Hu also admitted that the beauty in Hou Dayong's mansion was indeed a kind of enjoyment in life, but he was strong in nature and often read the "Jingang Jing". The deliciousness was a cloud for him, and he forgot after eating it.

Dawagong traveled thousands of miles and had not tasted it well. Today, I saw the delicious food, so I started to eat and chew it out without any hesitation.

As the Hunmo Tubo people were dispersed in Zhuoni and Songfan gradually concentrated, there were nearly 100,000 Hunmo people in the respective jurisdictions of Dawagong and Dabu. Compared with the small tribe with only a few thousand people at that time, it was already prosperous. When Dawagong was in Zhuoni, he often felt that his power was already very strong, but every time he went to Lingzhou, he always felt a little powerless when he saw the growing Black Eagle Army.

At this time, the stone tiger was like a stone statue, and there was no more words except for saying "Please do whatever you want" when entering the seat.

Dawagong has seen Shi Hu several times. Shi Hu's silence makes every meeting feel as uncomfortable as torture. This time, Dawagong has a strong Han Chinese tradition. He can use Zhongyuan very skillfully and is always invincible in the clan. However, his eloquence met Shi Hu's absolute silence, and he had no room for performance. It was like being blocked in his chest and abdomen in one breath, so bored that he just wanted to shout loudly.

Finally, Shi Hu put down his chopsticks, and he carefully wiped his mouth and hands with a warm towel. At first, Hou Dayong liked to use hot towels after meals. Shi Hu was always neat. Although he was not interested in food, he accepted hot towels. Dawagong had already opened his mouth with his sleeves. Seeing Shi Hu's movements, he took the overheated towel and wiped his hands and mouth.

"On the first day of the first lunar month, the Black Eagle Army was preparing to go south to attack the rebellion, Li Chong, the army." Shi Hu passed a light sentence.

When Dawagong saw Shi Hu talking, he immediately cheered up. He said, "What is the will of the General? Hunmo's tribe is willing to do what he wants."

"Longxi is in the hands of the Heiyu Army, but its troops are not large, and it can only maintain its defensive momentum. Your troops gather 10,000 troops to attack Qinzhou from Longxi, and firmly attract Li Chongjin's troops in Qinzhou. General Dabu's troops followed the Baima River and threatened Jiezhou, so that Jiezhou's troops could not move."

Only when the debate was debated, Shi Hu was interested in saying so many words at once, and his sentences were fluent, and he was definitely not a person who could speak.
