Xuanfu went all the way north and passed the dusty mountain, which was the endless grassland of Diaoyin county.
The grassland is covered with green grass, and the official roads extend in all directions. On the stone track line, iron wheeled vehicles loaded with goods and passengers go all the way north along the stone track line.
After Hanshui City, you enter Tule prairie.
Because the grassland was suppressed by Zheng Kai with a high-pressure situation for several years, a group of people's heads were cut off, which made the rebellious herdsmen a lot more honest, and mild herdsmen can be seen everywhere.
Along the grassland to the north, the weather began to become cold. The more northward, the more severe the cold in the air. Slowly, the grassland began to decrease, and a handful of moss began to appear on the ground.
On the wilderness, white began to appear. As we continued to go north, the White became heavier and heavier. Slowly, the surroundings had become a world of snow.
When the south is still in the hot summer, here in the North has become ice and snow.
A group of Han cavalry came meandering, and the black and red military robes were quite conspicuous on the white snow.
In the middle of the team, Gao Dabao, who was riding on the horse, told the sergeant to cover his eyes with an eye mask and not to look at the snow for a long time to prevent snow blindness.
"Go and call the guide. Why haven't you seen the little prince's army?"
Gao Dabao knocked the armrest of the soldier next to him with a whip and said slightly irritably.
It had been two days on the snow, and he had not seen the Han Army led by the northern king. Gao Dabao once doubted whether the northern king had rebelled against the Han state.
After a while, the guide wearing sheepskin hat and mink fur rode over on a pony and saluted Gao Dabao:
"What's the matter with Gao Tong calling me?"
Gao Dabao said irritably:
"You're not a general of our Han army. You don't need to salute me. We've been walking for so long. It's just that the horse bandits flying on the grass can't see us. Why can't we even see the men and horses of the northern king."
The guide was a prairie man with a red and black face. When he heard the speech, he took off his leather hat, scratched his head, smiled and said:
"Let Gao Tongling know that we are going in a good direction. When governor Zheng Kai was there, he often fought with the barbarians on the grassland and became the extinction of the tribe."
"No matter which tribe, as long as it dares to be the enemy of China, whether it hurts our Han * * scholars or grassland herdsmen, it can't escape the fate of being destroyed."
"Six years ago, there was a barbarian called the snow wolf clan. They used the snow wolf as a totem and killed a caravan that came to do business, which was destroyed by general Zheng Kai."
Then the guide looked around and saw a snow nest not far away. He couldn't help laughing and said:
"That's it. That's the family land of the snow wolf family. Gao Tongling, we can have a rest in the family land of the snow wolf family today."
Gao Dabao looked up at the sky. It looked gray. I don't know if it's going to be dark now. The soldiers are sleeping in the snow Nest these days and working hard. It's better to have a rest in the snow wolf clan.
Anyway, I'm sure I can't catch up with the horse bandits flying on the grass.
"Well, I'll have a rest in the snow wolf family tonight."
Gao Dabao ordered.
The soldiers cheered loudly. They marched in the snow for several days. They were cold and hungry. They felt very happy to have a local nest to sleep.
Soon, the guard camp arrived at the land of the snow wolf clan.
"What the hell? Why are there so many heads!"
The sergeant who explored the way in front shouted and scolded.
The guide hurriedly explained:
"This is the head of the snow wolf people. Governor Zheng Kai piled all the people who killed the snow wolf people here to warn the snow barbarians that they can't invade China again."
The soldiers scolded, cleaned up, went into the snow wolf family's land, picked the place where they could live, cleaned it, soon laid their beds and went in.
Gao Dabao huddled in a nest and asked the guide:
"It's not easy for the brothers on guard to make a fire, otherwise it's easy to find the target. Do you have any way?"
Thought of pointing to a light snow bag in the north and said:
"The snow wolf clan got several snow bags to ambush the sentry. Our sentry, after eating and drinking enough, we can hide in a group of three and guard."
Gao Dabao nodded. It's a way, but he can't just use the guide's method. In case he's not Chinese and wants to plot against me, half of the guards will have to explain here.
After dinner, Gao Dabao was hiding in the snow nest. He looked at the defense map with a kerosene lamp. The door curtain was suddenly lifted, and the snowflakes blew in with a cold wind, which made Gao Dabao shiver.
It was the guard captain who came in. He said excitedly:
"Commander, we found that the Han army is approaching here."
"The king of the north?"
Gao Dabao stood up. If it was really the Han Army, it should be the people of the northern king.
"Tell me to go down. The sergeants of each battalion are dressed in armor. Go and follow me."
Gao Dabao put on his armor, picked up his long gun, opened the curtain and walked out.
The snow on the ground has accumulated a thick layer. At the gate of the stockade, the heads of the snow wolf people have been buried by the snow again. The guard on duty has retreated and guarded at the gate of the camp.
In the distance, the torch, like a long dragon, flew towards here.
The guide said excitedly:
"It's the king of the north. The king of the North won the war and will rest here in the past."
After about half a cup of tea, Gao Dabao had fallen a thick layer of snow, and the people of Beidi King finally arrived.
Suhalcha's hearty laughter sounded in the distance:
"Gao Tong has received it. Suhalcha is polite."
A white horse flew over and rushed from the heavy snow. On the horse, a knight with mink fur jumped off the horse's back and landed in front of Gao Dabao.
Gao Dabao bows:
"At the end of the day, I will see the Lord. The Lord is safe."
Suhalcha laughed and held Gao Dabao's arm:
"You're welcome, you're welcome. I've just fought with a group of barbarians. I was defeated. I'm embarrassed to return. Gao Tong has brought it. I'll fight his mother's battle tomorrow."
The northern king suhalcha said excitedly.
Gao Dabao was about to say a few impassioned words. His eyes swept across suhalcha's face, and the voice in his throat stopped.
"Lord, you..."
Suhalcha smiled and said casually:
"I originally wanted to ambush the barbarians. When I climbed the snow nest, I accidentally frozen my nose. When I fought with the barbarians, I accidentally touched my nose, and the nose fell off."
With that, suhalcha suddenly scolded:
"My mother, these barbarians are really evil. When I saw that my nose fell off, I rushed up like crazy. If it weren't for my brother's life, Gao Tongling, you wouldn't see me now."
Gao Dabao looked stunned and said carefully:
"It's ok if you don't have the same knowledge as the barbarians. It doesn't matter whether you fight or not, as long as the barbarians don't provoke us."
With his chin raised
"Hum, I have just set the rules of the snow field. These people dare to violate the rules of China's Han Dynasty. This is a challenge to the laws of China's Han Dynasty. If I don't build their heads into a Beijing Temple, I won't be the king."
