Chapter 25 The first quarter is different Zhongshan wolf

After more than a month, Su Qin finally entered Shangjun and walked to the foot of Qin Great Wall. The road back to Luoyang is from Hangu Pass in the east. Not only is the road short, but there are also densely populated roads and post houses along the way, which is very convenient for poor roads and rich roads.But Su Qin didn't want to take the road, and he didn't want anyone to see his poor appearance.By the time he left Xianyang, he was already naked and had nothing of his own. The only bag he had was a few rolls of bamboo slips that he couldn't eat or drink and became heavier and heavier, just like a beggar.Theoretically speaking, it is far from hopeless to say that Qin failed once, and you can continue to lobby several other big countries. After all, the ambition to achieve hegemony is by no means Qin's family.However, an inexplicable accident caused by a car idiot turned him into a naked poor man overnight. He was struggling, how could he deal with princes and ministers?Su Qin had a flash of thought, go to Yan Country, Yan Ji will definitely help him!Thinking about it seriously, I couldn't help laughing.After Yan Ji came to the country for the first time, even if she wanted to help herself, she could not be able to do her best.Even though Yan Ji can make her have enough food and clothing, can she bear those boring days?If he is trapped again in Yan Country, he will be in a real desperate situation.

Su Qin thought for a whole night on the side of Beisaka Road, and finally decided that he had to go home! The road chosen by Su Qin is very remote. It is not so much a road as it is a direction. It goes out of Beiban, Xianyang, passes through Yunyang, and goes straight to Beidi County, and then goes along the Great Wall of Qin Dynasty to Yangzhou in Shangjun, and then passes eastward. The Yellow River passes through Lishi Fortress and then goes south to Luoyang.Not to mention how many times this road is farther than the Hangu Pass Avenue, more importantly, before entering the Wei country beyond the river, this is a dangerous road that becomes more and more desolate.But Su Qin didn't care about thinking so much, he only had one thought, don't see anyone, go home quietly!As for enduring hardship and taking risks, that was God's punishment for his absurd behavior, and he deserved it.The setting sun is about to fall, and the Hexi Plateau has been lost in the twilight.The rammed-earth Great Wall covered with sunset looks like a giant dragon with shining scales, stretching along the ridge to the northeast, reaching the far south bank of the Great River in the Cloud.Boundless forests cover thousands of mountains and ravines, and as far as the eye can see, there is a vast and desolate emptiness.The mountain wind howls, Lin Tao is faint, only the wisp of cooking smoke floating on the pavilion barrier of the Great Wall, and the melodious horn calling for patrol riders, adding a ray of life to this desolate mountain forest and ravine.

This is the world-famous Hexi Plateau, a barren mountainous area with few people. Su Qin had never been to the land of Hexi, and it was indeed difficult for him to understand why Qin, Wei, Yanzhao and the Yinshan Hu people repeatedly competed for this barren plateau?After fighting and fighting for more than a hundred years, the dead are worthless. What is the use of fighting for this desolate mountain?This time I trekked north from Guanzhong, and after going through the mountains, rivers, passes, pavilions and barriers, I realized how important this wild Hexi Plateau is.From the point of view of livelihood, there are mostly mountains, forests and ravines. There are neither vast pastures suitable for grazing, nor many good fields worth cultivating. No matter who occupies this plateau, they will not be able to obtain the extremely scarce farmland and cattle and sheep at that time.

But if you look at the country's struggle for hegemony as a whole, the Hexi Plateau is shining brightly!It is the commanding height standing in the belly of the entire Great Central Plains. Whoever dominates the Hexi Plateau will have a condescending deterrent power against the forces on all sides (the Huns in the north, Yanzhao in the east, Qin Rong in the west, and Wei and Han in the south).The fifty or sixty years when Wei State occupied Hexi was the most prosperous period of Wei State.After Qin regained Hexi, it immediately became a powerful country with a bird's-eye view of the Central Plains and a deterrent to Beihu.To secure the Hexi Plateau, Qin relied on the natural barriers of the great river in the west and the Great Wall in the east.After Shang Yang regained Hexi, he extended the natural barrier of the Yellow River to Lishi Fortress on the east bank, and built the old Great Wall of Qin State all the way to the land of clouds.In this way, the Hexi Plateau became the stable old Qin land, and the Qin State truly became a country surrounded by mountains and rivers.When the time and place are right, why do you only bless Qin?

Hungry and sighed with emotion, Su Qin couldn't help laughing, and said "ashamed" to himself, and quickly sat on a rock and spread out the burden cloth, and began to howl loudly.This is the hunting road meal of the old Qin people. A piece of semi-dry sauced beef is sandwiched into a thick flatbread, and a few shallots are added to make a strong and spicy road meal.Su Qin didn't eat much at first, but after traveling through mountains and rivers for more than a month, his appetite became astonishing. Every time he started to eat, he would eat up all the food he brought along the way, feeling unsatisfied.Even so, he still turned into a thin, dark, long-haired and bearded mountain man. No one would recognize that this is the old Su Qin!After eating the food on the road, Su Qin went to the mountain stream for a gulp and drank, and then jumped into the water to scrub, and then he felt much cooler.Packed myself up, saw that the sun had completely set, and it was about to get dark, so I hurriedly picked up my bag and picked up my stick, and started trekking again.

Traveling at night and staying at night, this is the "Hexi Road Classic" taught to Su Qin by the old Orion. Along the way, Su Qin exchanged books for food.Whenever there is a farmhouse where you can stay overnight, no matter how simple and hospitable the old Qin people are, Su Qin will give a book for an hour or two to the young children of the master's house as a token of repayment.When we reached the foot of Baiyu Mountain, the number of farmers gradually decreased.After inquiring, I found out that since Shang Yang recovered Hexi, he moved all the farmers scattered in the deep mountains to the river valley, established new villages and implemented new laws, leaving only the old hunters who have been hunting for generations in the mountains and forests.

That day, it was already dark, but there was not a single family in sight.Su Qin was in a hurry, but met an old hunter returning from hunting and invited him to his home as a guest.It was a small courtyard in the depression, with big stone walls and stone slab houses. The old Orion family had lived in this simple and sturdy small courtyard with rocks for forty years.The old man has two sons, both of whom have not returned from hunting in the deep mountains. Only the old couple stay at home.Su Qin had no books to talk about, so he chatted with the old man under the moon and mountains, and asked about the customs of Hexi Road.The old man saw that Su Qin was a well-known man, and his conversation was bold and pleasant, so he opened the chat box and talked about "Hexi Road" all night.

"The two major dangers on the Hexi mountain road, and the floor leak Zhongshan wolf".This is the most important warning of the old man. The so-called floor drain refers to the countless ravines and cliffs covered by trees and weeds.The old Orion said that when Dayu controlled the waters, the Hexi Plateau was scoured and cut by rivers and streams of all sizes, with many cliffs and pits; The flat mountains and plains I went to were dangerous and dangerous to walk on; if I was not careful, I would fall into the cliffs and pits under the branches and weeds.The old man said that many mountain pits are so deep that they reach nine grounds, and there is no hope for them if they fall down!Withered vegetation in autumn and winter, the risk of "floor leakage" is slightly better.The lush vegetation in summer is the most dangerous.Due to the risk of "floor leakage", Hexi sidewalks have a long wooden stick to explore the road, and most of them walk during the day. "But you can't. You can't walk during the day!" This is another warning from the old man.Most of the local footpaths are short-distance and short-term, so it is naturally best during the day.But for those who trek all day long, they have to sleep during the day and walk at night.The old man said: "As soon as you come out of Baiyu Mountain, there are barren mountains, old forests and uninhabited people." After a long journey, you will be exhausted, and if you fall asleep at night, you will be in great danger. One or two hours, and sleep again the next day, must be more than sixty miles away from yesterday's location, otherwise there will be no peace.All of this is because the Hexi Plateau still has the greatest danger—the Zhongshan wolf!

There is a Zhongshan Kingdom in Hedong, which was established by the Baidi tribe in the early Spring and Autumn Period.At that time, the Rongdihu nomadic tribes in the northwest aggressively invaded the Central Plains, and together with the Miao and Yi tribes in the southeast, they formed a vast ocean-like encirclement of the Central Plains.Baidi is one of these tribes, occupying the mountains and river valleys in the northern part of Jin State.Later, Duke Huan of Qi respected the king and fought against the barbarians, and united with the princes of the Central Plains to drive away the Yi and Di in successive battles, and finally drove the invading nomadic tribes out of the Central Plains.At this time, Baidi in the northern part of the Jin State had already turned into a "Jin man" who was half-agricultural and half-pastoral, and was accepted by the Jin State as a territory.Later, the state of Jin declined, and the four families of Zhi, Wei, Zhao, and Han fought endlessly. Bai Di became ambitious again, and took the opportunity to establish himself as a vassal state, which was called "Zhongshan State".Not long after the establishment of Zhongshan State, it was swallowed up by the new prince Wei State.Later Wu Qi left Wei, Wei's army weakened, the Baidi tribe came back from the grassland and desert, and Zhongshan was miraculously restored!Although this Zhongshan country can't be said to be powerful, it is brave and ruthless. It challenged its strong neighbors and clung to the two countries of Yan and Zhao. It even won a few small victories. Warring States.The Zhongshan Kingdom is famous, but more than half of it is because of this Zhongshan wolf!

The old Orion said that the Zhongshan wolves are demon wolves, more cunning than a thousand-year-old fox, and more ferocious than tigers and leopards.It recognizes people and holds grudges. When encountering a single passer-by, it will never jump up and bite the person to death. Instead, it will follow you around and tease, until the person is exhausted and heartbroken, and then stays by your side and slowly bites and suffers; If someone kills a wolf cub, the Zhongshan wolf will follow and kill your pigs, sheep, cattle, and chickens day after day, and then kill your children and women, and finally devour the master viciously; what's more Or, Zhongshan wolves can stand together in groups!On normal days, you can't see the wolves anyway.But if a lone wolf encounters an enemy, the lone wolf will prostrate itself and howl, and in a short while hundreds of Zhongshan wolves will gather, even ferocious animals like tigers and leopards will run away in fright.The hunters on the Hexi Plateau are famous for their fierceness, but they dare not touch the Zhongshan wolf.During the decades when Wei State occupied the Hexi Plateau, the Zhongshan wolf was almost the overlord of the Hexi Plateau.When the wolf disaster was at its worst, the rangers in the Wei army camp did not dare to move out at night.The Hexi Plateau is sparsely populated, most of which are caused by the Zhongshan wolf.

The old man said that Zhao Jianzi, a powerful minister of the Jin State, once led an army to kill wolves three times in the name of hunting, and Zhongshan wolves disappeared for a time.But after the Zhongshan Kingdom was revived, the Zhongshan wolf was also miraculously revived.After Shang Jun regained Hexi, in order to protect the environment and the people, he ordered five thousand cavalry to exterminate the wolves!It's strange to say that the cavalry of the Qin army seemed to be born to be the nemesis of the Zhongshan wolf. The cunning and brutal Zhongshan wolf was killed by them!The Qin army always lures the wolves to gather with three or five small cavalry teams carrying bloody cattle and sheep, and then a large cavalry force rushes out from the ambush, chasing the wolves, killing more than hundreds of Zhongshan wolves every "battle"!After three to five years of war against wolves, the number of Zhongshan wolves on the Hexi Plateau gradually decreased. "You still have to be careful. Orion knows that this monster wolf is not dead yet." The old man urged Su Qin heavily.Su Qin was shocked when he heard it.He couldn't figure it out, the Zhongshan Country and the Hexi Plateau were not only separated by hundreds of miles of high mountains and mountains, but also separated by a dangerous river with deep waves and deep valleys. How could Zhongshan wolves come across the mountains and across the river?The creation of heaven and earth is truly mysterious!Su Qinyuan heard from his teacher that Zhongshan wolves are unique in the world - the Baidi tribe has the ability to tame animals. When they invaded south, they brought Mobei wolves from the grassland and desert. This kind of wolf used the mountains of Zhongshan as their lair. , but seldom harmed the Bai Di people, but flocked to Linguo in groups, causing headaches for Yan Zhao Wei Qin.Zhongshan's neighbors are all powerful warring states, but without adequate preparation and an elite army, they don't want to get entangled with this "wolf country".Zhongshan wolf is no less than a hundred thousand army to Zhongshan country!At that time, Su Qin listened to it and listened to it, but took the teacher's "incidental mention" as an anecdote in the world, and didn't pay attention.Now that I think about it, this Zhongshan wolf is far from being able to be summed up by the four words "strange news and ancient scriptures". It is a real disaster, an unimaginable difference in heaven and earth! The old man was very thoughtful and careful, and specially sharpened a green sandalwood stick for Su Qin.This kind of green sandalwood is as hard as fine iron, it makes a "just" sound when knocked, and there is not even a trace when it is cut with an ordinary sharp knife!Five feet long and short, thick enough to hold in one's hand, it is extremely easy to hold.The old man said that almost everyone in Hexi has a green sandalwood stick like this, and the hunters call it a "righteous servant".This "righteous servant" can scout the way, carry the burden, make a cane, and of course, more importantly, fight the wolf, it is even more useful than that long sword. Su Qin has traveled a lot, and he has traveled a lot at night, but it is only half an hour's night. The moon is bright and the wind is clear, which has a kind of pastime.But now the road at night is very different, walking from dusk to Sangan in the sun, you may not be able to find a suitable mountain corner to sleep in.Even if there is a mountain corner, I often wake up three times in one sleep, but jump up suddenly when there is a strange movement.I can't sleep well, and the deep drowsiness is always sticking to my body.When I was on the road at night, I fell asleep while walking. I either twisted my feet in the crevices of the rocks, or broke my head on a big tree, or my clothes were hung on wild jujube thorns, and I almost fell asleep twice. Fell into the "floor drain"!After a few nights, Su Qin was already covered in bruises and ragged.But Su Qin still gritted his teeth and walked on. He couldn't walk anymore, so he leaned against a lone tree or a bare rock to breathe for a while. Blood flowed to his feet before he woke up.The biggest danger on the night road is of course the Zhongshan wolf, not to mention the mountain leopard, insect and snake.The old hunter taught Su Qin the trick: "If there is a tree to climb a tree, if there is no tree to drill a hole, if there is no hole and no tree, then pretend to be dead." But as far as Su Qin is concerned, he already feels that he is almost the same as the mountain monkey.Several times, Su Qin slept on a dead tree branch, and when he got down, he was refreshed and stomped his feet happily.Only "playing dead" has never been done.The old Orion said that Zhongshan wolves never eat dead things. If they suddenly encounter Zhongshan wolves while sleeping during the day, they will pretend to be dead.This was originally a "dangerous danger", but fortunately Su Qin was vigilant and smart, so he never encountered it.Three days later, Su Qin left the Yangzhou Fortress and walked eastward along the Great Wall for two nights. When the sun rose to the top of the mountain, he finally saw the mountain pass leading to the Yellow River!After rushing for another half an hour, Su Qin was already standing on the side of Shankou Avenue.Looking to the east, the black banners of Lishi Fortress were faintly visible, and the white stone bridge across the river was already clearly visible. Behind him was a camp of the Qin Army in the hills by the side of the road, and the sound of drum horns and horses could be faintly heard.In a small village next to the military camp, the smoke from cooking houses drifts with the wind, the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs can be faintly heard, the morning sun in early autumn is as warm as spring, and the vast mountain plain is like a fairyland. "Oh! Someone's here!" Su Qinwu jumped up and shouted, as if it had been a lifetime ago!Compared with the Great Wall Mountain, this is Yangguan Avenue. "It's much better than the corner of the mountain, why don't you have a good sleep here?" Su Qin's thought flashed, and he suddenly felt weak all over, and fell softly on the smooth rock... I don't know how long it has passed, the hazy Su Qin felt the cool wind, "Yes, it's time to get up." Suddenly, Su Qin felt something was wrong, what's the sound?How about panting with daddy's collie rhubarb?How can there be rhubarb here?Zhongshan Wolf!With a flash of thought, he was suddenly covered in cold sweat. Su Qin forced himself to calm down, opened his eyes slightly, and immediately took a deep breath—under the dark night, a huge silhouette was squatting five or six feet away from him, covered in white hair, with two erect ears, Thin saliva dangled from the foot-long tongue. Haha gasped, looking up at the moon in the sky—it was not a Zhongshan wolf, but what was it? !In an instant, a burst of coldness filled Su Qin like a tide! At this moment, the Zhongshan wolf looked up to the sky and howled long and loudly, three times in a row, hoarse and shrill, it was actually the sound of mountains and valleys in the vast wilderness!Su Qin suddenly remembered the old Orion's words: The white-haired old wolf is the head wolf of the Zhongshan wolf. He is the most cunning and evil.It seems that this is an old white-haired wolf without a doubt, how to deal with it?Su Qin subconsciously and quietly clenched the green sandalwood stick under his body, but he didn't dare to move it at all. "There is no chance of winning when you fight a wolf, you can only play dead." This is the old Orion's advice.However, the old wolf had clearly seen that he was not dead, and was calling his companions to enjoy it. Playing dead was useless. Could it be that he was waiting for the pack of wolves to tear him apart?No!Su Qin can't die like this!Roll off a cliff?Yes, roll... Just as Su Qin held his breath and was about to turn over and roll off the cliff, he suddenly heard horseshoes raining like rain on the avenue down the cliff. Did Qin Jun's cavalry pass by?Yes, this is the only chance!With a lightning flash in his mind, Su Qin suddenly turned over and jumped up, roaring "Wolf!" Then he rounded the green sandalwood stick in his hand and smashed it down on Zhongshan wolf's waist.The Zhongshan wolf turned his head when he heard the sound, and sprang out the club head with a groan. With a sweep of the iron tail, he howled and opened his long white teeth, and rushed towards Su Qin in the air! "Wolf!" Su Qin roared again, and hit the wolf's head with all his strength with his stick.Only two sounds of "Boom! Boom!" were heard, and the green sandalwood stick, which was as hard as refined iron, broke in two at the waist.Su Qin felt a sharp numbness all over his body, and then fell down softly.The old wolf just let out a loud howl, rolled down a few feet, then got up again immediately, its white fur trembled violently, and then pounced again... At this critical moment, the horse's hoof rolled up like a storm, and a long arrow pierced Zhongshan Wolf's rear hip with a sharp whistling "Boom!"The old wolf pounced forward with all his strength and fell to the ground with a "ow!", but unexpectedly rolled and disappeared behind the rock. "Quick! Save people! Be on the lookout!" A rough voice in the horse team shouted loudly. A knight flew off his horse and rushed to the rock: "Sir, he's dead!" "Nonsense! Take people on horseback!" Suddenly, a roar of "Woo--! Woo--!" seemed to come from the ground. It was dull and stern and distant, and even the mountains and rivers and valleys resonated in response. "The wolf howled! Light the torches! Stick to the wolves—!" As soon as the voice of the long words fell, I heard the continuous roar of the four fields, and in the dark night outside the torch circle, a little phosphorous fire suddenly floated, and more and more gathered, and it became a sea of ​​phosphorous fire in a short time.There was a strange stench and endless panting sounds in the wind, and the Zhongshan wolf pack that had disappeared in the Hexi Plateau for a long time was revived! Facing the boundless wolves, the war horse neighed and snorted, backed away in fright, and became a little confused for a while.Shi Chang hissed and roared: "The circle is still! Put down the vest! Emergency horns—!" With Shi Chang's roar, three horns pierced the night sky sharply, three times in a row, short and intense.The ten knights walked at the same time and quickly formed a back-to-back circle of torches. Five men with bows and arrows and five men with long swords paired with flower holders. There was a clanging sound, and a layer of iron armor was immediately put down on the horse's abdomen and legs.This is the unique formation of the Qin army's iron cavalry's wolf-baiting squad to confront the wolves: there are hundreds of wolves, and a small cavalry team must not rush to kill rashly, nor can it be rushed into the cavalry by the wolves. The exhausted pack of wolves will inevitably divide and bite the horse team, and the consequences will be unimaginable; under normal circumstances, the active attack of the wolf pack is more cautious, and it is necessary to repeatedly "reconnaissance and deployment" within at least half an hour.It is precisely this half an hour that is the journey time that the iron cavalry of the Qin Army brigade can use.Unexpectedly, the ten-man cavalry team had just formed a circular formation, when they heard a long howl from the wolves, the gray-haired old wolf suddenly rushed into the circle of torches, the feathered arrow on its hind hip still trembling.It squatted under the torch, raised its head and stared coldly at the knight on the horse, and calmly pushed its huge and long mouth to the ground, "Woo!" let out a long, dull and mournful roar.Following this roar, the Wang Yang phosphorous fire outside the torch circle suddenly let out a thrilling howl, and with the roar, the wolves flocked from the four fields to the torch! "Kill--! Resist--!" Shi Chang ordered, and the knights shot and killed with bows, arrows and long swords at the same time, and dozens of Zhongshan wolves immediately splashed blood in front of the horses.Zhongshan wolves attack in packs, and they are never afraid of killing. A cavalry team of ten men cannot withstand hundreds of wolves swarming on them for half an hour anyway.Suddenly, horns were raised on the mountain plain, torches were everywhere, the sound of killing shook the sky, the sound of horseshoes rolled past like heavy thunder, and the Qin army's brigade of cavalry came over like a tide!The old wolf with arrows squatting on the rock let out a strange howl, and thousands of Zhongshan wolves turned their heads all at once, and suddenly disappeared into the boundless dark night.The iron riding torches also spread out in a huge fan shape on the mountain plain, shouting for killing and chasing, and pressing straight to the bank of the Yellow River... When Su Qin woke up, he found himself lying in a military tent.A strong and dark young soldier was walking around in the tent. Seeing him awake, he shouted in surprise: "He's awake! Qianchang come quickly—!" The general walked in, went straight to the army couch and said with a smile: "Sir, I'm a good sleeper. It's been three days. Can you get up?" Although Su Qin was still a little ignorant, he also understood that this must be the Qin army camp, so he struggled to sit up and stay on the couch. , staggering and bowing his hands in salute: "Great kindness, the general, I will never forget it." The commander laughed and supported Su Qin: "What's the matter, sir? Attracting wolves, gathering and eradicating harm, this is a great achievement of the master." " You guys killed all Zhongshan wolves?" Su Qin was very surprised. "Don't dare to say kill them all, it's probably close to ten." The commander was obviously very excited, supporting Su Qin with one hand, and gesticulating with the other: "This is the last group of Zhongshan wolves left in Hexi, more than 2,000. We have been chasing them for three years. I didn’t want my husband to lure me out. I killed 1,800 Zhongshan wolves in World War I. The biggest result of the battle was killing that old white-haired wolf! That’s the wolf king, so I just met you. Mister is very big!" "Ashamed and ashamed." Su Qin repeatedly waved his hands: "If it wasn't for the army's iron cavalry, he would have been buried in the belly of a wolf." "Come on, sir, sit on this side." The commander helped Su Qin to sit in front of the military case, turned around and ordered: "Three Leopards, bring food and drink to the sir, not too much, hurry up!" "Yes!" The young and strong soldier jumped up. Teng Teng strode away. After a while, the three leopards walked in holding a plate and carrying a pot: one was a large clay pot wrapped in a cotton jacket, and the spout was still steaming. The bone-in meat without heat, and a few lumps of garlic.Su Qin smelled the smell of meat and felt hungry. Without waiting for the commander to say "please", he reached out and grabbed a piece of bone-in meat and yelled. He felt that he had never eaten such a thick and delicious meat in his life!Seeing that the meat in the pot was gone, Su Qin grabbed the warm and soft flatbread and pulled it, grabbed all the remaining minced meat in the pot and stuffed it into the flatbread, took a bite of the flatbread, and threw into his mouth a small piece of meat with lumps and skin. garlic.After eating all the meatloaf, the three leopards had already poured the thick soup from the big clay pot into the pot, and Su Qin picked it up with both hands and drank it down.In a moment, there was a wind and a cloud, and I ate everything.Su Qin was sweating profusely, still feeling unsatisfied, wiped his hands on his body, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his torn sleeve. "It's so beautiful!" The commander burst into laughter: "Sir, you have the style of a warrior, and your true qualities!" "Look and laugh." Su Qin couldn't help blushing. "Sir, can you figure out what kind of meat this is?" Su Qin was stunned: "It seems?" But he couldn't remember the taste of the meat just now, and couldn't help laughing: "Swallow it whole, and you don't know the taste of meat." "Wolf meat! A piece of Zhongshan wolf What about the hind legs?" "Ah! Wolf meat?" Su Qin was shocked at the beginning, and then laughed continuously: "Wolf can hurt people, people can kill wolves, whoever hurts whom is powerful!" The commander cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. I admire you. Sanbaozi, bring Mr. bamboo slips." Sanbaozi quickly took out a green cloth bag from the back tent and put it on the military case. The commander opened the bag and said with a smile: "Mr. Yes. After killing the wolves and clearing the battlefield, I just searched and picked it up. The military clerks couldn’t understand it, so I didn’t know if it was stitched together correctly. Mister checked it.” "Thank you, General." Su Qin bowed deeply. "You are welcome, sir. Please wash and change your clothes first. I will ask you to ask Mr. Three Leopards, take Mr. to scrub." "Yes. Sir, come with me." Three Leopards led Su Qin into a big cloth Pointing to a large wooden basin filled with clean water, he said: "Sir, I scrubbed it myself. This is Qianchang's armor-lined cloth clothes. Please change it first, sir." After speaking, he left. Su Qin was so dirty that even he felt sour and stinky. He took off his rags and tattered clothes, scrubbed them vigorously, and changed into short-sleeved cotton clothes.The commander came back from outside the tent and saw that although Su Qin had long hair and beard and was dressed in short clothes, he was handsome and strong, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "The general is right, sir is promising. Three leopards, serve tea. Sir Sit down." When Su Qin sat down, the three leopards poured out the dark red tea, and the commander solemnly cupped his hands and said, "May I ask your name, Mr. Who is he from?" Studying under my door." Su Qin expected that this question would come sooner or later, and had already planned to answer it with his own words.Except for teachers, family members and Zhang Yi, few people know this "word", and even fewer people call it. The school of learning is because I am very familiar with the farm family, and the Song Dynasty is very close to Luoyang, so it is easy to deal with.Su Qin made up his mind that he didn't want to leave traces during this "travel", and naturally he didn't want to show his true colors. "What do you do for a living, sir? Where do you want to go?" "Farmers make a living by teaching people how to farm. I am assigned by my teacher this time to come to Hexi to investigate the situation of agriculture and forestry, and then return to the Song Dynasty." Mr. is an extraordinary person, and I want to recommend Mr. Guowei to plan military and state affairs, but I don’t know what Mr. will do?" Su Qin was secretly surprised, a commander is only the lowest-ranking general in the army, how can he directly recommend talents to the Guowei?Can't help but smile slightly: "Is the general related to the captain of the state?" Whether or not, the lieutenant of the state must explain the reason to the three armies. Don't worry, sir, the state of Qin only recognizes talents." Su Qin sighed in his heart: "Xianzai! Sima is wrong. This man is in charge of Qin's military aircraft, and all the countries will die." But he smiled at the commander-in-chief and said, "I don't know anything about military affairs. I only know about farming and farming. Mr. Kuang Fate is hard to break, and I am truly ashamed of the general." "Where is there?" The commander-in-chief laughed boldly: "It turned out that the last general was planning for the master. Since the master has the idea of ​​making a living, he should be a teacher by himself, so why should he be ashamed?" "Ji Zi thanked the general." "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient to keep guests in the army." The commander was swift and quick, and immediately ordered loudly: "Three Leopards, prepare the itinerary for the sir, and bring enough food for the army for three days!" After hearing a promise, the Three Leopards brought it All things - except for dried meat biscuits in a cowhide bag and a water bag, Su Qin's original burden and green sandalwood stick.Su Qin picked up the wooden stick in surprise, but felt that the copper hoop in the middle was smooth and firm, without the slightest feeling of looseness that had been broken. Is this his "righteous servant"?The commander smiled and said: "The green sandalwood stick is a rare thing. It's a pity if it breaks. The last general asked the craftsmen in the army to repair it. Do you want to take it?" Can you give me your name and surname?" "It's not worth mentioning." The commander-in-chief laughed and waved his hands: "Sir, you just need to remember the Zhongshan wolf."
