There was cooking smoke rising in the depths of the grassland, and it was the Hu people who came by chasing water and grass and began to cook dinner.
The green grass, the green smoke, the setting sun, the horse whistling sheep, if there were no disputes, this would be an extremely harmonious picture.
However, there are disputes when there are more people, and the world never develops according to people's wishful thinking.
Far away from the Hu people tribe, there was a cavalry squad behind the hill looking at the faint green smoke in the distance. It was a frontier squad headed by Qi Pingbo.
"General, I have received accurate information." At this time, a border soldier dressed as a Hu man was reporting to Qi Pingbo.
"There was a dispute among the Hu people the year before. Some tribes took refuge in the Mongols, and some tribes refused to take refuge, and then they fought themselves.
The tribe mentioned by Shang Zhen refused to take refuge in the Mongols. They were the first to be attacked.
But now it has been defeated, and it is said that there are not a few people left, and they have now hidden in Tiewei Mountain. "
Naturally, some of the frontier troops that Qi Pingbo brought could understand Hu, and they had already found out some of the current situation within the Hu people.
Qi Pingbo doesn't care about the things that come and go, what he cares about is just how big a threat the Hu people are to Han.
And these frontier soldiers have already gotten acquainted with Shang Zhen, so naturally they wanted to help Shang Zhen inquire about Xitang.
Of course it is hard to find wedding candy, but the bearded tribe with the wedding candy must be easy to find, so in the end they got the news they wanted.
"Hu people want to take refuge in the Mongols?" Qi Pingbo frowned.
After all, someone like Shang Zhen is an ordinary borderer, how could he know the general trend of the world
In fact, don't look at the Hu people who attacked Yukou Village and abducted the population and livestock there, but from an overall point of view, that is not a big deal.
Because the Hu people have a limited population and there are still no leaders, the most threatening to Han is now the Mongols in the north.
If the Hu people are captured by the Mongols, then Handi will have even more trouble.
According to Qi Pingbo, who understands the situation, the inland northwest and north may be blocked by the pre-Qin Great Wall.
However, the Great Wall was like a big-eyed omission due to its disrepair for a long time, and there were holes everywhere. If the Mongols and the Hu people joined forces again, the situation in the interior of Han was bound to be tight.
"General, but we also got an important piece of information." The frontier reported again.
"Say, what's the selling point at this time." Qi Pingbo aired.
"The people we found said that when they saw the Humen putting horses during the day, someone was putting a group of horses shorter than the Hu horses." The side soldier said.
What is a horse shorter than Huma? At least Shang Zhen was totally confused.
A horse shorter than a Huma is naturally a pony!
However, Shang Zhen listened to the military over there, and he was definitely not talking about Xiao Maju.
Shang Zhen had limited knowledge and did not understand, but Qi Pingbo's eyes were already bright.
"Mongolian horse?" Qi Pingbo raised an eyebrow and asked that side Jundao.
"It should be, the people who saw it didn't understand it. They said it was the first time they saw that kind of horse." The frontman replied.
"Mongolian horses appeared in Humari—" Qi Pingbo was already pondering, and then he asked again, "have these Husbands surrendered to the Mongols?"
"I heard that there is not yet." The frontman hurriedly replied.
"Have you inquired about how many Mongolian horses there are?" Qi Pingbo asked again.
"Not many, it looks like twenty horses." The side army replied again.
Qi Pingbo nodded his head and stopped talking, but then he took out a map and laid it on the ground to take a closer look.
"What is a Mongolian horse?" When Shang Zhen saw that Qi Pingbo was busy, he didn't dare to bother him. He pulled the border guard who was reporting to the side and asked in a low voice.
"Huma refers to the horse of the Hu people. This kind of horse runs high and fast, and looks particularly majestic. It is said that it was originally produced in Dawan.
Mongolian horse refers to another kind of horse, which is similar to our Han horses. They are short and run faster than Hu horses. They look like our Han people plowing the ground. "The side army explained.
"Oh." Shang Zhen understood when he said that. "The Mongolian horse is not as good as the Huma."
Shang Zhen didn't know much about Mongolian horses, but he still knew Huma very well.
The so-called Huma is the same breed as the famous Dawan horse mentioned in the previous dynasty.
"Huma Dawan is famous, sharp and thin.
The ears of the bamboo batch are steep, and the wind enters the four hooves lightly.
There is no space in the direction, really worthy of life and death.
Xiaoteng has this, thousands of miles can be rampant. "
As an endorser, how could Shang Zhen not recite this poem? Look at the poem, Shang Zhen could not be written without the brilliant pen of blooming flowers, but Huma is indeed very handsome!
"You can't say that." The border army explained that Shang Zhen didn't understand the horse very well, so he patiently explained.
Moreover, it is not picky eaters, it can eat anything.
But this is not important. The most important thing is that the Mongolian horse will not be frightened or exploded on the battlefield, and will not be frightened. "
"Oh. Teachable." Shang Zhen hurriedly bowed his hand.
The action of Shang Zhen amused the frontier army.
No one in the army does not admire the strong, and he was there when Shang Zhenjian shot the Huren a few days ago.
The bow that Shang Zhen used from the Hu Ren was already more than a stone bow.
"Stone" is a unit of weight.
The way to measure the pulling force of a bow is to hang a bow and drop a heavy object on the bow string until the heavy object pulls the bow completely.
If the heavy object is a stone, then this bow is a stone bow.
In fact, a crossbow is basically the strongest bow in the army, and it is also the standard equipment in the army.
Generally speaking, one stone does not understand it well, and the weight of one stone nowadays is about one hundred and fifty catties.
But the bow that Shang Zhen grabbed could only be pulled half-open with one stone, but that required two hundred jin of strength.
In the simplest way, Shang Zhen opened the bow with two hundred jin with both arms, and then shot the arrow about two hundred steps.
You can imagine how hard it is for a person to pull a bow with 200 kilograms of strength.
That is pulling apart rather than lifting weights.
Weightlifting can take advantage of the strength of the thighs, waist and abdomen, but the ability to draw the bow is ultimately limited.
Moreover, pulling a bow to shoot an arrow is not just pulling it once, especially like Shang Zhen's continuous shooting method, which is really a bow with one draw, and then three bows in succession.
On the other day, Shang Zhen shot two consecutive shots and opened six bows in a row. As far as Shang Zhen's performance was concerned, it really shocked the frontier soldiers' eyes!
Therefore, it was not only Qi Pingbo who secretly caught the Shang Zhen, but also those frontier soldiers who also hoped that Qi Pingbo would bring the Shang Zhen into the army!
"Okay, everyone is here!" Qi Pingbo said.
And when the two dozen side soldiers got together, Qi Pingbo said: "Ma Rulong, while it is getting dark, you can't see if you can get in there to see where the tent where the Mongols live is."
When Qi Pingbo said this, the expressions of the side soldiers who were originally relaxed became serious.
They have realized something from Qi Pingbo's words.
