During this period, Su Hai and Fu Qing were inevitably placed on the battlefield.
Naturally, it is impossible for the two of them to beat each other by themselves, and while mixing in to fill up the number, they are looking for opportunities to leave. There were several dangers in the middle, but the two escaped by luck.
Thinking that it can't be like this all the time, Su Hai turned his head and got the two of them to the place where the horses were raised to temporarily serve as Hu Ha.
Hu Ha is equivalent to the pawns who specialize in raising war horses in the Dazhou military camp, but it is relatively harder and dirtier on the Jin people's side.
Because most of the Jin people are cavalry, and there are naturally many war horses, so Hu Ha is doing the hardest and most tiring work, but eating the worst food in the entire camp.
But at least you don't have to go to the battlefield anymore.
The place where they are located is also the outermost place of the camp, and Su Hai also took a fancy to this point. It's a pity that the expectation was far worse than the plan. There was a leader named Weng Cha in this group of Huhali, who was extremely harsh on the Huha below.
Coupled with the fact that it has entered the middle of winter, there are almost no Tatars or Jin people wandering wantonly on the grassland at this time, so Su Hai's escape plan can only be delayed.
One day, Su Hai was cutting hay for the horse, when Fu Qing, whose head and clothes were covered with grass clippings, suddenly came over and gave him a hand.
At this time, even if Fu Qing's biological parents are here, they probably won't recognize their son, and Su Hai is naturally the same.
Su Hai cast a puzzled look at Fu Qing, Fu Qing said something like follow me, and led a horse out. Su Hai quickly followed and led a horse.
The Jin people had extremely strict requirements on the breeding of war horses.
For example, what kind of feed they eat, how much water they need to drink every day, and they have to lead the horse out for a certain period of time every day. At this time, the two of them lead the horse out, but no one pays attention to them.
At the edge of the camp, there were almost no idlers here. Not far away were two towering watchtowers, and several tents were lined up in the barracks below, and Jin soldiers came in and out from time to time.
These people are guarding the exit soldiers.
But the sight is very wide, and there are about ten or twenty riders outside the barracks. Judging from the appearance alone, it was difficult to distinguish the identity of the visitor.
They were dressed strangely, wearing Da Zhou's padded robes with leather jackets on the outside, some looked like senior generals in the Jin army, but they didn't look like them.
When Su Hai and Fu Qing came here, they happened to see dozens of horses running out of the camp. After talking with those people, they ran out of the camp for dozens of horses, and this group of people disappeared. The end of people's sight.
"See the problem?"
Su Hai gritted his teeth: "Those people are from Da Zhou."
Yes, maybe you can't tell the clues from the clothes, but the horses can easily tell the difference. Even going back to the previous dynasties, there were very few good horses in Dazhou. In the past, when the relationship with the grassland was not deadlocked, the horses were exchanged through the horse market.
Because war horses are controlled by others, the former emperor deeply felt that this matter could not last long, so he ordered the officials below to collect stallions with good bloodlines everywhere, so as to ensure that they could breed war horses belonging to their own country.
It's a pity that this kind of thing can't be done overnight. After many generations of purification and improvement of the horse's bloodline, a kind of war horse called Hebei horse was gradually bred.
In Dazhou, this kind of horse was also called Dazhou horse.
This kind of horse has excellent stamina, but its legs are naturally shorter than those of war horses on the prairie. It doesn't feel like it at first glance, but if it is put together with horses on the prairie, it can be clearly seen that the horse is shorter than the horse on the prairie.
Just now those people with unknown origins were all riding big Zhou horses.
War horses are military supplies, and it is impossible for them to flow to the outside world, especially in such a place, so the origin of this group of people riding big Zhou horses is self-evident, they should be soldiers from a certain border town.
In Dazhou, some military generals colluded with the Jin people.
This was the first idea that appeared in Su Hai's mind.
And he and Fu Qing had been walking their horses here for some time. It was such a cold day, and there was still light snow falling in the sky, but the two of them went back, which had already attracted the attention of the guards at the gate.
The other party shouted a few times to this side, and made several gestures, Su Hai hurriedly bowed his head to the other side, and hurriedly called Fu Qing to go back.
After returning, he couldn't calm down, and even burned inside. I can't wait to rush out of the barracks immediately, and follow up to see what this group of people are doing, or what they are plotting.
But the reality is that he can't go out at all, he can only stay here. It was also a coincidence that Weng Cha came again, yelling and scolding in the stable, all the Huhas in the stable nodded and bowed.
This person refused to let go, found an excuse to be lazy, took out his whip and swung it over indiscriminately.
When the tip of the whip hit Su Hai, he grabbed the whip with one hand as fast as lightning. Weng Cha was surprised and annoyed, and was about to yell at him. Fu Qing came over hurriedly, took the whip out of Su Hai's hand, and said a few words in a low voice that he was unwell today and apologized to Weng Cha.
Weng Cha didn't know whether he was disappointed, or was surprised by Su Hai, so he cursed a few words and left.
"I know you are impatient, but now is not the time to be anxious." Afterwards, taking advantage of no one around, Fu Qing said to Su Hai.
Su Hai's eyes were red, he took a deep breath, threw the fodder in his hand on the ground, and left.
Forbidden City, Yanxi Palace.
Zong Mace came in from the outside. He was wearing a fur cape and a fox fur hat on his head.
After entering, the maids surrounded him, took off his hat and cloak for him, and wiped off the residual snow on his boots with a cloth towel. After a while, he entered the Nuan Pavilion, where Concubine Xu Xian was waiting for him.
"It's cold outside? Look at your hands are cold, sit down and warm up."
At this time, Jinping had already warmed brown sugar ginger tea and Concubine Xu Xian stuffed the teacup into Zong's hands.
Zong Jian drank his tea silently, and naturally Concubine Xian couldn't do without some greetings.
No matter what the outside rumors are, Concubine Xian has never changed her caring attitude towards Zongjiae. Unfortunately, after the appearance of the Zhong family, the relationship between mother and son has become more and more awkward.
Afterwards, he asked Wen Zong about his studies, and he answered them all.
During this period, the maids were busy preparing meals, the mother and son ate dinner together, seeing that the sky outside was getting darker and darker, it was not easy for the concubine to keep the ancestral mace, so she ordered the servants to wait on her and sent the ancestral mace away.
After Zong Mace left, she fell weakly on the pillow.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Jinping hurriedly dismissed the idlers.
"Ma'am..."
"I can't go on like this anymore. You see, what benefits can I get from fighting with the queen? I don't have it, and neither does she. On the contrary, the imperial concubine is leisurely and content. She doesn't look like her own brother carrying the name of treason on his back." Thinking about it calmly now, Bengong feels that all this is the imperial concubine's trick, and she is just playing tricks on Bengong and the queen so that she can reap the benefits."
Jinping didn't make a sound. Obviously, with her brain, she could understand the entanglement, but she couldn't give any advice at all.
"Go and talk to Wang Dong and ask him to reveal this letter to the queen. If Kunning Palace and Yanxi Palace continue to fight, it will only benefit Jingren Palace. I don't believe that Chen Yan will kill her as a concubine." younger sister?!"
"But the queen hates the empress so much." Jinping hesitated.
Concubine Xian sneered: "Don't worry, she knows the seriousness. If she wants to fight, I will accompany you to the end, but only if the imperial concubine is down, otherwise I will fight to the death with her. As long as the imperial concubine is there to flirt with Your Majesty, I will fight with you." None of her sons can sit on the crown prince."
Pressing the button and not mentioning it, Wang Donglai quickly handed the letter of temporary truce to Empress Chen.
In fact, Empress Chen also had this kind of enlightenment recently, but it's a pity that once this kind of thing started, she didn't stop it as soon as she said she could. Because she didn't know that after she stopped, Concubine Xu Xian would stop.
Empress Chen originally wondered if Concubine Xu Xian was deceiving her on purpose, but no matter whether it was the court or the palace, Concubine Xu Xian's family seemed to die down, and Empress Chen's family would naturally withdraw their troops.
An enemy's enemy is a friend. Although two people can't be called friends at all, even if they call them enemies, but because they have a common goal, they can naturally reach a temporary agreement.
Concubine Xu Xian said that she wanted to cooperate, but Empress Chen was dubious, but Concubine Xu Xian's 'sincerity' soon came.
And this 'sincerity' is greater than she imagined, of course, this is a later story.
A person like Weng Cha, to put it bluntly, is a shameless villain who bullies the good and fears the evil, how could he let this one go.
So his revenge came quickly.
The higher-ups issued an order to mobilize a group of people to go to the Xuan Mansion, and it was inevitable that Hu Ha would follow them, so Weng Cha picked Su Hai and Fu Qing to go.
There are also a few Huha. Everyone sighed. Leaving the warm camp in such cold weather was simply suffering, but the orders from above had to be obeyed.
Don't mention it, this time the Jinren sent troops to reach 20,000 people.
Since the beginning of winter, the Jin people have shrunk their troops, and the troops from Xuanfu Datong Yulin have gathered in Jizhou. At this time, the sudden division of troops is really abnormal, which is also the reason why Su Hai and the two are willing to mix in and follow to see.
Su Hai always felt that this matter was related to the scene he and Fu Qing saw that day.
On the way to the Xuan Mansion, Su Hai did some calculations in his mind, and suddenly realized that if the calculations were made according to the Lunar Calendar of the Great Zhou, it was the New Year's Eve at this time.
If it was the past, he should be drinking and eating meat with his brothers in the military camp at this time. Now he is living outside, but his future is uncertain.
There is also the side of the capital, I don't know what to do.
The Jinren set up camp outside and lined up their troops, which soon alarmed the senior officials of the Xuan Mansion.
The sudden withdrawal of the enemy's troops really made them breathe a sigh of relief, but after a while, the people came back again, and this time there seemed to be a lot of people.
Another big battle is coming.
Because of this kind of cognition, it caused a commotion inside the Xuanfu. Shi Zi has been sitting in the position of Xuanfu's chief soldier for decades. His general should have been disarmed and returned to the fields long ago.
But for the safety of the border, he still sits here.
In the past half a year, Xuan Mansion first experienced a great siege, and then encountered the disappearance of the Datong General Soldier in Xuan Mansion, and then Youbian Town fell again and again.
Shi Zi can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted. He has to fight against the outside world and settle down at the same time.
After the enemy finally retreated, he fell ill.
Although it was not a serious illness, he was clearly lacking in energy. This time the golden man attacked again, so he could only drag his sick body to sit in the headquarters again.
Especially Xu Tong, Xu Tong has been under him for nearly 20 years. It was Shi Zi who watched him grow from a stunned young boy to a general who can guard one side. Mention Xu Tong to the position of deputy commander.
Although it is only temporary, it has almost become a custom at the border. Generally, the commander-in-chief has the qualification to choose a subordinate who is appreciated by him as his deputy. The court will generally not stop it for the sake of harmony between the border and the general. Most of the documents are in the Ministry of War It can be settled once.
Therefore, although there is still a lack of an appointment document, Xu Tong is almost under one person in Xuanfu, and above ten thousand people. He also has his own rights to the security and mobilization of Xuanfu's garrison.
Xu Tong came out of the big tent, and a man dressed like a general came up to him.
"The Zongjun has a lot of trust in Brother Tong. After this battle, if the Zongjun is disarmed and returns to the field, the position of the Zongjun will belong to Brother Tong."
Xu Tong is a tall man with a resolute face.
It can be seen that he was quite handsome when he was young, even though he is now in his forties, it has not damaged his handsomeness at all, but has added a lot of calm and mature temperament.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "It's too early to say these things now."
As he spoke, he suddenly changed his voice: "Is the arrangement over there?"
Hearing this, the man's gaze was fixed, and his voice lowered a lot: "It's all been arranged. After this time, this hat is completely on Su Hai's head, and I can't take it off. The lady in Jingzhong... is the ear Behe's request..."
Xu Tong smiled coldly: "So the golden man is stupid, let's just respond to him, and then we will make a feint and then catch the turtle in the urn, which will be a great achievement. Although the matter with the empress is important, how can I let it go quickly?" The position of the general soldier in hand, the soldier is not tired of deceit, and he deserves his bad luck."
"Brother Tong, what you said is that after this incident, the glory of our Xu family is just around the corner, and we don't have to bow down to others. There are empresses and fifth princes in Beijing, and Xuanfu has us. It's time..."
"Okay, don't be complacent, let's talk about it after getting things done." Xu Tong interrupted.
The arrangement on the Jinren's side really made Su Hai somewhat confused.
But he's just the lowest Huha, and he doesn't know how the higher-ups plan, so he can only look at it from the outside.
On this day, the Jin people lined up again, and even the lowest Huha was requisitioned, as if all the members were mobilized.
When we arrived at the front of the formation, we saw a lookout tower set up in the frontmost position.
Two soldiers stood on it, but a man was tied to the flagpole.
Because they were at the rear, and that person was tied high in the sky, they couldn't see his appearance clearly at all. They could only see that this person was half-dead with loose hair, as if he was wearing a Da Zhou man's armor.
Could this be when the Jin people captured a high-ranking general of the Great Zhou
At first, Su Hai was still thinking about it.
It seems that the arrangement in front of the formation also caused a lot of commotion among the Jinren soldiers. Although standing in front of the formation, it did not prevent the news from spreading.
At the same time when the Jin man shouted at the Zhou people on the city gate, Su Hai also knew the identity of this man.
"Did you see that, that is Su Hai, the chief soldier of Datong, a living king of Hades, who killed many Tatars and our people."
"It is said that he once captured the prince of the Jin people. The leader hated him to the bone and attacked Datong several times just to avenge him."
In this camp, in addition to the Jin people, there are also many Tatars, and various languages are circulated in the camp.
Su Hai happened to understand both languages, so these words entered his ears just like that.
That's Su Hai, then who is he
