Chapter 834: Leading the sheep

5days ago traverse Novels 3
Early summer is the most lushest season of the year, and the same is true for the northwestern border.

The winding cavalry group on the north bank of the Yellow River is moving slowly.

Feng Jiye's face was old and black, his beard was chaotic, and his brand new armor and cloak were like a new dress on the beggar.

He was talking endlessly with the civil servants and generals in the military supervision.

Herding sheep is very slow, and it takes almost a year to grow up, and you may lose all your money when you get sick... It is better to farm, change the land to plant grains and beans, and you can harvest them for two or three seasons a year.

The civil servant smiled and said: General Feng returned to his hometown and had a lot of experience in herding sheep and farming.

Feng Jiye nodded and said: However, farming and herding sheep are not the fastest way to harvest.

The civil servant asked with great interest: What is the fastest way?

Feng Jiye said seriously: Go to someone else's sheep's pen to lead the sheep... Of course, you have to go with swords and guns.

The civil servant's face froze, and it took a moment to follow Feng Jiye's topic and said helplessly: However, the person who was led by the sheep must be very unhappy, and the trouble will be great.

Feng Jiye touched his hands and said: You are right!But this method is really too easy, no matter what, everyone wants to do it.The official family was very unhappy when they were "leaved" away from the war horse. Otherwise, what would we do here?

As they were talking, a group of people rode their horses up a hillside. Everyone couldn't help but tie the reins one after another, and opened their eyes wide to look at the scene in front of them. Everyone was shocked by the beautiful scenery!

Smooth hillsides, open vision; drought weather makes the sky clear and clean.

A shallow river divides the earth into two completely different sides. The north is goose yellow sand, which looks like no trace of variegated from a distance; the river bank is full of dark green trees; the south bank is covered with grasslands, slightly lighter than the woods.

Such distinctive colors of the scene seem to be appreciated only here.

Some sheep were slowly moving on the grass and eating grass. There was a tent next to the woods, surrounded by wooden railings.

The people riding horses in the flock seemed to have found several riders appearing on the hillside, and they were looking up here.

The civil servant said: The tribes in the south of Lingzhou have always been in harmony with the border towns, and plundering war horses is definitely not what they do.

Feng Jiye shook his head and said: You don’t understand too much.After they snatched it, they thought the horse meat was not delicious, so they traded it with others and exchanged it for sheep.Now let’s move the sheep back!

After Feng Jiye said that, he pulled out the saber from his back, turned around and waved, and more cavalry rushed to the top of the mountain.The people on the grassland below slapped their horses and ran towards the camp.

Kill all the two legs, and pull them away with four legs!Feng Jiye shouted.

The troops shouted excitedly, and amid the noise, the horse's hooves roared, and a light cavalry in plate armor rushed down the hillside. The red flags and blue flags separated on both sides, and the horses rushed down in two turbulent streams, like the torrent of a mountain torrent.

The beautiful scenery of quietness is immediately filled with noise.

A group of Dangxiang men with small round hats ran out of the camp, waving their hands and shouting loudly.One of them tied a white turban to the branch and waved in panic.

Bang!Suddenly, the man waving the headscarf screamed and fell off his horse.

Then there was a crackling sound of strings, and arrows were like rain. Several Dangxiang people seemed to be covered with reeds, and horses also knelt on the ground and neighed.

Soon, a clang sound rang around the barriers, and Xu's cavalry easily knocked over the railings, and the soldiers rushed in, making a mess inside.

Feng Jiye shouted and rushed to the tent. Just as he saw two or three people running out of the tent, he kicked forward and slashed at him with a high sword. His screams and blood immediately splashed.

Soon, smoke rose from a distance, and the fire gradually rose up, and there were crazy shouts around.

A cavalry was raising his bow and arrow on his horse, with his back straight and his movements very skillfully. In a blink of an eye, someone was rushing to the ground.

Wow... Not far away, a little girl with a braid was standing there, tilting her head up and crying, with several corpses lying next to her.The cavalry passed by her, but no one paid attention to the little girl.

In the smokey tent next to him, two people covered in fire suddenly ran out. While shouting in fear, they rolled on the ground, their hands scrambling on the burning fur, the smell spread, and the sound of hissing was very tragic.

The camp was quickly pierced by cavalry, with fire flashing everywhere and smoke scattered.

The forward has rushed into the woods and chased the fleeing people.

Some cavalrymen were dismounted and searching for valuable things on the corpses, and the surroundings were in chaos.

A team of Xu Army cavalry drove over a dozen people, but Feng Jiye was furious and shouted: What do you care about those people? Go and catch the sheep!

Everyone then picked up their weapons and slashed at the prisoners. The prisoners who came to their senses ran away. One of them staggered to the ground and turned around quickly. He saw a soldier Xu pulling his bow and pressing against his forehead. With a slamming sound, the iron cluster of arrows hit his forehead and stabbed his forehead suddenly, and the man's pupils suddenly dissipated.

Feng Jiye turned his head and said, "Tell them not to burn, we can stay on the spot."Catch the Dangxiang people out of the tent and kill them!

There was chaos nearby, and screams came from time to time in the woods in front of them.

Feng Jiye jumped off the horse and saw an injured person beside him moaning. He walked forward and stabbed into the man's neck. He saw that the man covered his neck with his hands, his mouth wide open and vomiting blood, and his legs were constantly twitching on the ground. Feng Jiye calmly grabbed the fur on the man's body and wiped the blade.

The civil servant next to him stood there and looked at Feng Jiye, and was already stunned.

Feng Jiye put the knife back into the scabbard and turned his head to look at the civil servant in charge: You see, you get so many fat sheep in one day, much faster than herding sheep for eight or nine months.

Civilian: …

The blood-stained generals came back to report, but Feng Jiye stood in the camp and looked around.

After a long time, he said: This place is backed by the Yellow River and has oasis water plants. There must be more than one tribe.The central army was stationed here, and the tribes scattered out and took away all the sheep within a radius of dozens of miles.

General wise!The generals clasped their fists and said.

The military supervisor stepped forward and said in a deep voice: General Feng does this, beware of settlement of the accounts after the autumn.

Unexpectedly, Feng Jiye sneered: I was in the army when I was over 10 years old, and I never felt that the account was settled because I killed too many people.A few years ago, a group of Dangxiang people asked the emperor to kill me. Am I dead?I happened to go back to my hometown to herd sheep and cultivate my character for a few years, hehe!

The general has a good physical condition!The military supervisor widened his eyes and looked at the tragic corpses and the wounded who were groaning and struggling around him.

...Not long after, in the Lingzhou headquarters, the envoy from the Dangxiang Inn started crying and complaining.

The Xu army cavalry, who had all the weapons and armor, rushed into the ranch, slaughtering all the unarmed herders, snatching everything from their hands... They didn't even let go of one person, and the burned camp was full of burnt corpses.There are hanging corpses everywhere in the woods, and the places with water plants are like underworlds...

Zhe Dejian said helplessly: Feng Jiye’s people cannot control them.

If he had to take care of himself, of course he could control Feng Jiye, but now he could not admit it and had to speak nonsense.

Zhe Dejian had just been appointed to dispatch, and the commander of the Pingxia Army was deployed to the west, and Feng Jiye's cavalry was part of the Pingxia Army.

The messenger said with a sad face: Mr. Zhe must take charge, and that guy robs and kills innocent people everywhere like a mad dog!There are injustice and debts. Ye Ci robbed the imperial army and horses. Shouldn’t Da Xu’s army ask Ye Ci to ask for punishment? What’s our business?

Zhe De said: The envoy can write a memorial, and this magistrate sent someone to send him to Tokyo.

The messenger said in surprise: What's the use?Didn’t Feng Jiye sent by the emperor?

Zhe De thought carefully that he could not put the basin on the official's head. He should recite what Feng Jiye did. He still understands this rule.

He said kindly: Daxu has many yamen in the court, and the officials cannot take care of so many things.Feng Jiye got back from the relationship he found himself.

At this time, the guards reported to Ye Ci's people in Lingzhou Inn to ask for a meeting.Zhe De asked someone to bring in and speak.

Several Dangxiang people wearing dome hats came in. Ye Ci bowed with his hands and his chest and said: The leader of our army requested the Zhegong to quit the army. The leader promised to send the war horses and criminals to Lingzhou, and he would no longer rob the business roads in the future.

Zhe Dejian thought to himself: Li Chuyun’s army is already on the road, how can he say that he can be harmonious or robbed?

He frowned and thought for a while, then turned the blame off first, and then said: Now Xu Jun in Lingzhou is not punishing criminals, but because Feng Jiye is in Lingzhou.As long as Feng Jiye leaves office, everyone can sit down and discuss anything.

A Dangxiang man asked: It turns out that Emperor Daxu can't control Feng Jiye?

Zhe Deyan glared at him: The emperor is two thousand miles away, how can he know everything?

The people below talked about it in Dangxiang dialect. Zhe Deyan could understand Dangxiang dialect. Some of them heard that the Central Plains Emperor built a palace with a radius of hundreds of miles and was with tens of thousands of wives and concubines. It was not easy for ministers to see it, and the words were unknowing...

Zhe Deyi pretended not to hear it, pondered for a moment and said, if the tribes handed over Li Yiyin, there might be a way to resolve the Gange.

The envoys in the lobby denied in unison that they had received Li Yiyin.

After hearing this, Zhe Dejian's face changed and he said unhappily: Then there is nothing to talk about.see a visitor out!

A group of Dangxiang people looked at each other and had to bow and go out from the door of the lobby.

They were still talking, and some people suggested: Princess Yueji is the Queen of Daxu, and I heard that she is very favored by the Emperor of Central Plains.You can send an envoy to Tokyo and try to meet Princess Yueji and ask her to persuade the Emperor of Central Plains.

Many people agreed with this idea, only the robbed tribal envoys were impatient, thinking that after going to Tokyo, two thousand miles away, their people were almost killed.

These envoys just wanted to ease the situation, but the people of the Dangxiang tribe probably did not have this attitude. The leaders of the tribes should have been furious at this time.
