In the sweltering heat of May, the gentlemen could not stand the heat, so they all hid in the Chixin Pavilion to eat tea, smoke cigarettes, and shake the folding fans vigorously. Yu Xiao drank another belly of herbal tea, and was not feeling well at the moment. He was thinking about going to the thatched hut, but saw Fei Sheng leading Hai Rigu to the courtyard.
"Second Master is going to cross the border in the next two days," Yu Xiao wiped the sweat from his neck with a handkerchief again, "Hai Rigu will accompany him."
"He's a scorpion," Kong Ling said, not eating cold food, sitting by the water curtain to enjoy the cool, "I can talk to You Bear Department."
This was the meaning of Fu Jun, Yu Xiao could no longer refute it, he nodded, sat beside Yao Wenyu, and said, "I heard that people with the bear clan are born strong and ride tall horses, which is different from other clans in the desert. "
Gao Zhongxiong had never seen Xiongbu either, so he stopped writing, turned his head in the gap between dipping ink, and waited for Yao Wenyu's answer with Yu Xiaozai.
Yao Wenyu closed the book on his knees and said, "The Bear Clan is a large clan in the southwest of the desert. Before Amur started to gain momentum, the strongest clan in the desert was the Viper Clan, followed by the Bear Clan. Before the Bear Clan Stationed in the east of Suotianguan, they have their own horses, instead of the pony from the hook horse department. There are bear horses, also called 'bear horses', which are taller than Libei war horses."
Gao Zhongxiong originally thought that what Yu Xiao said was a rumor, but he thought it was true. He was startled and said, "I heard rumors about the Xiong clan when I was in Taixue, and at that time, Suotianguan was guarded by the Feng clan. 'Xueguan Silver Spear' Feng Yisheng! The bear clan was given to General Feng by General Feng. To the east."
The four generals of Yongyi are famous, Hongyan Iron Wing Xiao Fangxu, Cangjun Tinggu Qi Shiyu, Bianjun Feishhuang Lu Pingyan, and Xueguan Silver Spear Feng Yisheng are the men that Da Zhou Erlang talked about the most in his early years. Feng Yisheng and Xiao Fangxu are in the same way. He came from a humble background. At the age of fourteen, he pointed to the snow-capped peaks that locked the sky and made an oath to be a big week. When he was forty years old, he buried himself under the snow-capped peaks. The remaining youngest son finally died in battle, leaving only his bone spanner to his adopted son Zuo Qianqiu.
"Yuan Zhuo is very knowledgeable, and even knows that there is a bear clan. In fact, the earliest war horses in Qidong were mixed with bears and horses." Kong Ling said, "When the wolf king Xiao Fangxu was a soldier at Luoxia Pass, Luoxia Pass All of the horses are transferred from Qidong, and this is also the kind of horse.”
"Oh," Yu Xiao exclaimed again, "The waves are fierce!"
"When Amur unified the four clans of the snake, the horse, the eagle and the green mouse, he wanted the bear clan to submit," Kong Ling felt cold, got up and went back to the table, "they had a fight, but Amur didn't ask for anything. to the benefit."
This time the other three people came to the interest and sat around Kong Ling.
Gao Zhongxiong said: "That's the elite of the four divisions, who will make the Libei Iron Cavalry suffer."
"The place is different. The Bears were still wandering around Suotianguan at the time. They occupied the high ground, and the Serpents had a hard time charging, and they would be beaten when they were in front of others." Kong Ling laughed and said vividly, "I saw that Xuefeng. The winding is endless, and there are always bears in between. Armed with machetes and leather armor on their arms, they rushed down from above, kicked the serpent as a chest, and the serpent rolled down and fell unconscious on the ground—"
Yu Xiaozai immediately shouted: "It's incredible!"
Yao Wenyu didn't swallow a sip of the tea and almost choked out. She covered her mouth and nose with the handkerchief in her palm and coughed a few times before she recovered.
Kong Ling said with a smile: "It's really incredible. After the fight, Amur lost his temper, so he could only transfer the Qingshu Division to Bianjun."
Yao Wenyu wiped and said, "There are bears and heroes. When General Feng was still alive, the man who confronted him at Suotianguan was called Suheba, and he was the 'Russian and Sun' of the bears."
Gao Zhongxiong leaned forward and said, "This Su... I know this person! Yuan Zhuo, I don't know if you still remember, when I first entered the capital, Feng was the one who never got tired of hearing about it in the teahouse near Taixue. The legend of the general, he is like this Suheba... like the wolf king and Amur!"
"He's a hero," Kong Ling said. "If there were no Amur, the position of the Serpent Division would have been occupied by Suheba and the Bear Division. He and Feng Yisheng were both enemies and friends. There are so many teahouses in Dengzhou. One paragraph, I don’t know if it’s made up or not, it is said that when Feng Yisheng shot through the rainbow eagle flag, which symbolizes the dignity of Biansha, Suheba clapped his hands and laughed. Say hello to each other first."
Gao Zhongxiong held the pen, raised his posture, and imitated the storyteller: "General Feng is not wearing armor, he is standing in the snow with his hands behind his back, hunting in white robes, so handsome. Suheba is wrapped in animal skins and furs, facing the snow curtain. The general clasped his fists and said aloud—"
"Is the iron cavalry's grain cart ready?"
Gao Zhongxiong's posture was stagnant, and his open mouth didn't have time to close, when he saw Kong Ling and others all stood up and saluted Shen Zechuan who was behind him.
"It's ready," Kong Ling said. "Fei Sheng checked it out this morning, and Qiao Tianya will send him out of the city later."
Shen Zechuan tapped Gao Zhongxiong on the back shoulder with a folding fan, and said, "I am Suheba, a fierce tiger of the bear tribe. I bring the kumiss from my hometown. The wine is delicious. I want to wait until the general finishes drinking before fighting." ."
Gao Zhongxiong hurriedly put the pen down, turned around and saluted the mansion.
"Don't be nervous," Shen Zechuan said, "As the so-called 'Big Zhou Erlang Xueguan Dreams, who doesn't know the Locking Sky Spear', Master used to love listening to this passage."
Hai Rigu stood at the entrance of the pavilion and said, "Suheba, there is a bear and a tiger, and I know him too."
Yu Xiaozai was fascinated and asked, "What happened to these two afterward?"
Kong Ling didn't answer, Hai Rigu picked up the fruit on the table, took a bite, and said, "Suheba killed Feng Yisheng's youngest son and also killed Feng Yisheng. He was driven away by Amur and left Suotian. Guan, spent some time in Gedal before retreating to the rear of the Green Mouse Department."
This is a strange person.
Hairigu remembered Suheba, the legendary tiger hero, who was looking for fun in Gedal and beat drums and danced sacrificial dances every time he got drunk. This tall and majestic man has white hair, he is not old, but he seems to be dead.
"I have a friend," Suheba said, drinking in the firelight. "He drank my kumiss and killed my sons. I avenged him, and he left me."
He turned the wine bag upside down, empty.
"We are the eagles on both sides of the snow peak, and we will die at the hands of the other party."
"It's a pity he's dead," Hai Rigu finished eating the fruit. "He caught a cold in Gedal and was so sick that he couldn't get up. The Serpents surrounded him, and he drank all the horses in the tent by himself. Milk wine, and finally took his machete and died in the Gobi. Gegenhas of the Hulu tribe cut off his head and took it to Amur."
Yu Xiao made another "ah" and stopped talking.
Everyone in Chixin Pavilion fell silent.
Relying on the head of Suheba, Gegenhas made Hulu a friend of Amur, and he also became a friend of Hazen. A few years later, Xiao Fangxu's horse hoof broke Gegenhaas' neck, and a few years later... Kong Ling did not speak.
"Hairigu arrived in Bianjun, do you want Huo Lingyun to go with you?" Yao Wenyu asked, skipping the topic.
"Huo Lingyun doesn't go to Bianjun," Shen Zechuan looked sideways at the water curtain, where Huo Lingyun stood upright, he said, "His gun is going north."
* * *
The next day Xiao Chiye crossed the border with his iron cavalry, and Shen Zechuan stood on the horse road in front of the city gate and watched the yellow sand roll in. He circled down fiercely, chirping twice above Shen Zechuan's head, and then flew high again, rushing towards the south.
When Fei Sheng heard the thunder of the Libei Railway Cavalry, he stepped forward to block the sand for Shen Zechuan, but Shen Zechuan raised his folding fan slightly, not letting Fei Sheng stand in front of him.
Lang Taoxue wore heavy armor, exhaled a hot breath, and led the iron cavalry directly from the other side of the horse road. Shen Zechuan gradually revealed a smile, he raised his right arm as Xiao Chiye approached, and the wide sleeve slid down, revealing the armband inside.
Xiao Chiye looked straight ahead, without restraining his horse, he lowered his arm as he passed Shen Zechuan, only to hear a crisp sound, his two arms were tied together with a "bang", and just a blink of an eye, he wiped it away.
The wind lifted Shen Zechuan's sleeves, and he said, "Great victory."
Xiao Chiye laughed, he continued to ride his horse forward in the face of the scorching sun, and said loudly, "Great victory!"
The heat wave swept through, and the sand fluttered on the road. The two passed by without looking back.
