Chapter 602 Walking
Before we knew it, the south wind turned into the north wind.

The north wind was rough and powerful, stirring the emerald green water of the Continental Lake.

Migratory birds flying south roam in the shallow swamps, occasionally lowering their heads to peck at the plump little fish as fast as lightning.

After eating and drinking, they will spread their wings and fly south. But today the weather is just right and warm, and there is plenty of food in the swamps and lakes. I don't want to move for the time being, so I'll just spend a few lazy days first.

On this quiet and peaceful afternoon, an eagle's cry suddenly was heard in the sky.

The leisurely strolling water birds were startled and fled away, leaving a trail of floating feathers on the ground.

The golden eagle looked at the water birds with contempt. Now it likes to eat beef and will not bother you anymore.

After circling in the sky, it accurately found two people riding side by side on the grassland and immediately pounced on them.

Liu Yena looked up at the sky and raised his left arm happily.

The golden eagle flapped its wings, ignored her, and landed on the man's arm.

Liu was a little unhappy. Even beasts know how to change their allegiance?
Shao Xun looked at the golden eagle standing quietly on the leather case and laughed.

Training an eagle is like training a person, and tormenting a person is like tormenting an eagle. What's the difference?

Liu Ye's unruly female eagle finally had something to ask for, so she could only accept the scolding.

Perhaps, training an eagle is even harder than training a human being - the golden eagle did not get to eat the beef, and flew away with no reluctance.

The herdsmen on the grassland dismounted from their horses and walked over to pay their respects.

Shao Xun waved his hand and let him go.

More than 4,000 soldiers of the Heilongjiang Army lined up in neat rows and appeared on the distant horizon.

With flags flying and drums and horns blaring, a year later, Mr. Chen set foot on this land again.

His arrival seemed to be a signal.

General Bo Sheng of Shangbai Town personally selected elite troops to march north to engage in a bloody battle with the Xianbei people.

The movements of the remaining parts are similar.

Shao Xun had this effect. Without him issuing any orders, as soon as people came here, those who were slacking off felt the pressure and perked up, ready to fight hard.

After arriving at the lake, Shao Xun got off his horse and strolled along the lakeside.

"Don't you make wishes to those leaders to grant them official titles? Will they be dissatisfied?" Liu said, following him closely in her long leather boots.

"Are you concerned about me?" Shao Xun stopped, put his arm around her waist and asked.

Yang Qindong, who was following behind, looked around and stared at the reeds.

Liu Ling looked up at the sky and accidentally stepped on a small dung pile. He was so angry that he cursed inwardly that even in the Central Plains, dung piles were still so precious - there was a lack of firewood on the grassland, and dung was also a precious resource.

When Liu heard Shao Xun's question, her face turned red and she said, "The big Hu used to like to confer titles and make promises before the battle, and also issued a lot of rewards. Sometimes he even borrowed cattle and sheep to give rewards."

I still owe her family 100,000 heads of livestock!

"I gave out rewards last year, you can call it a meeting gift. I don't have money this year, so I can't afford it." Shao Xun said.

Liu looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

A while ago, several of her uncles and cousins ​​each gathered some of their tribesmen, as well as the Hun captives captured in last year's war, totaling more than 1,600 tribes, and began grazing in the Dalu Lake area.

The herdsmen of the thousand-odd tribe were very diverse, including Jie, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Han people. They said that they were given to her and would be managed by someone they sent temporarily. Once she and Chen Gong gave birth to a child, they would officially hand over the newly established tribe to her.

She actually has some family assets and can lend him some.

"Besides, how can you give out rewards all the time? People are greedy and insatiable." Shao Xun said, "Last year, we just took over Hebei, so we gave out some rewards to stabilize people's hearts. This year, the situation is already determined, so there is no need to coax them like this. After the war, we will allow them to share a share of the spoils, which is enough."

"Oh." Liu Ye played with the end of his braid and nodded slightly.

Shao Xun looked at her with amusement and said with satisfaction: "Shi Le lost Yecheng to me. Now, he has finally lost you to me too. He has nothing left."

Liu's face suddenly turned red.

Shao Xun stroked her gently and said, "Yena, acting like a little wife is probably not your nature, right? I don't care what Shi Le asks of you. With me, you don't have to suppress your nature."

Liu's eyes were somewhat complicated.

"When we were riding horses just now, it was the most I've seen you smile in the past year. Go ahead, do whatever you want to do, and don't care what others think." Shao Xun encouraged.

Liu raised her head, looked at him for a long time, and said, "Okay."

After saying this, he threw the ends of his braid behind him, exerted force with his long and muscular legs, and jumped onto the horse's back.

When she held the reins, the depressed and sad atmosphere of the past year was swept away, and the expression on her face was different. She looked at Shao Xun and asked mischievously: "What if I run away?"

Shao Xun shook his head and laughed, "You will come back."

Liu didn't get the answer she wanted and was a little annoyed.

Shao Xun continued, "Even if I flee to the ends of the earth, what does it matter? I will conquer every inch of land in this world, and I will see you sooner or later."

Liu looked at him blankly, and asked inexplicably, "Why are you suddenly so nice to me?"

The smile on Shao Xun's face froze, and he quickly waved his hand, telling her to go play somewhere else.

Liu pursed her lips and smiled, then rode out on her horse.

Shao Xun waved to Zhang Bin who was not far behind him and said, "Meng Sun."

Zhang Bin was observing the daily life of the herdsmen in the Dalu Lake area. Upon hearing this, he walked over slowly and saluted, saying, "Mingsir."

"At this point in the war, the food supply can only last for more than two months, and Zhongshan, Changshan and Zhangwu have not yet been completely captured. Do you have any suggestions?" Shao Xun asked.

"My lord, you have a plan in mind and are already working on it, right?" Zhang Bin said.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Shao Xun looked at him curiously.

"For several months, you have not issued any orders, but last night you sent an envoy to Zhongshan day and night to order Governor Jin to withdraw his troops to support Zhangwu and Hejian. It can be seen that you have a strategy." Zhang Bin said.

Shao Xun smiled and deliberately asked, "Jin Zheng underestimated the fighting power of the Duan tribe Xianbei. Isn't this a move to make up for the loss?"

Zhang Bin just smiled and said nothing.

Shao Xun sighed and said, "I really can't hide anything from you. However, even if we unify the world, it will still make people feel melancholy after such an attack."

"There are limits to human power." Zhang Bin advised, "Mingsong has come this far, and still sticks to his original intention. I admire you. Do your best and have a clear conscience." "That's right." Shao Xun laughed and said, "I didn't expect that many of the shogunate's officials have worked for me for many years, but they can't see things as clearly as Mengsun. I wish I had met you earlier."

Zhang Bin smiled bitterly.

"It's not easy to be a counselor under Shi Le, right?" Shao Xun asked casually as he continued walking forward.

Zhang Bin shook his head.

In the midst of chaos, no one can do whatever they want, not even warlords or high-ranking officials of the emperor.

When Shi Le occupied Yecheng, an official from another province came to the city to report on his work. On the way, the Jie people robbed him of all his luggage, and even his outer clothes. What could Shi Le do? He paid to compensate the officials who were robbed. That was all.

He couldn't even search the whole territory and arrest the robbers. Because the Jie people were his most core tribe, and since no one was killed, he couldn't let them alienate over these "insignificant" things. It was not worth it!

It wasn't easy to be an official of Shi Le.

"Since Mengsun already knows my strategy, do you have anything to add?" Shao Xun turned his head and looked at him and asked.

"Now that we have come this far, let's not hesitate. The longer the night, the more trouble we may have. The sooner the better," said Zhang Bin.

Shao Xun nodded.

He originally wanted to keep an eye on Liu Yao, and if the enemy didn't move, he wouldn't move. But he soon came to his senses. How could there be such a perfect time? If he really pursued the limit in everything and tried to take advantage of every last bit of benefit, it would only backfire.

So, he felt relieved and sent an envoy north to Youzhou this morning.

Liu Ling followed behind the two men, looking at Shao Xun and Zhang Bin from time to time. He had no idea what the two were talking about and looked confused.

Anyone who plays dumb should die!

"Your Excellency is the best in Shangdang..." Zhang Bin had just said halfway when a horse came galloping over.

The personal soldiers came forward one after another.

Zhang Bin frowned and retreated behind the crowd.

"Put away the equipment." Shao Xun looked around and said.

The horse stopped tactfully.

Shao Xun walked forward and took the reins.

This was his mount. The horse leaned over to him affectionately and snorted.

Liu Ye was sitting on the horse, and his face was not very good at first, but when he saw Shao Xun coming towards him, he looked happy.

"Aren't you afraid that I will shoot you with an arrow?" Liu Ye said in a muffled voice after walking for a while.

"Don't be afraid." Shao Xun said.

"Why?" Liu Ye asked curiously.

"According to the custom of the grassland, the woman you robbed belongs to you. I robbed you, so you are destined to be the mother of my child."

Liu Ye's face flushed again, and after a long time, he said "hmm" in a mosquito-like voice.

Shao Xun sighed, I still like your rebellious look.

But thinking of the important matter, he decided to lick it twice and said, "Sometimes, I am very jealous of Shi Le."

Liu Ye looked at him without blinking.

Shao Xun took her down from the horse and said softly, "I didn't meet you earlier."

Liu Ye's heart was pounding. He avoided his gaze and whispered, "You've already got me..."

Shao Xun put her down, then held her hand and walked on the grass.

Neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere was very charming.

"I shot two hares for you."

"On horseback?"

"Well, I shot two arrows."

"The beautiful lark on the grassland actually has superb archery skills."

"If it wasn't Liu Da who went up to the Bingjing platform last year, but you, I would have shot you to death with one arrow."

"Are you going to kill me now?"

Liu Ye smiled and didn't answer him.

After running so fast, beads of sweat had already appeared on the tip of his nose.

Shao Xun stopped, wiped it gently with the tip of his thumb, and then took her to continue walking.

Liu Ye couldn't describe his feelings, he just felt his body going weak.

Shao Xun said before that Shi Le lost her, which was probably true. He lost her completely.

Shao Xun gently held her in his arms and said casually: "Yena, Shangdang..."

"Well, I will beg my brother." Liu Ye buried his head in Shao Xun's chest and said softly.

"No, it's not convenient to write a letter. I'll send a few people to run it, you think of a solution." Shao Xun said.

"Ah."

"Are you sure?"

"Ah."

"Besides your brother, who else can persuade him?"

"I was the one who brought up my nephews when they were young. Now they have become brave young men. It's time for them to lead troops," said Liu Ye Na.

Shao Xun was overjoyed.

Who says licking is useless? If you don't put in enough thought when you take it home, it's just an inflatable doll. You still have to dig deeper to find its value.

Thinking of this, he felt extremely proud and his gaze turned to Youzhou in the north.
