Royal Road - Chapter 224

[Chapter 223 | City]

Hearing Yiyan’s answer, Tuoba Yilu suddenly got up excitedly.

No matter how much he uses Wei Cao, these Jin people, learn from the other side’s gentle appearance, he is still a Xianbei man, and his favorite is still the uninhibited life of shooting and hunting immediately, drinking and singing.

Now that Yi Yan’s answer is straightforward, it also makes him feel a little bit more competitive.

When the group came to the outside of the tent, Tuoba Yilu shouted Xianbei words, and five or six strong men immediately came around.

The chief was not polite, and said bluntly: “These are all my personal soldiers, and the kung fu is very good. Why don’t you shoot the willow?

” It is to show some strength in such occasions.

Therefore, he was not polite, and pointed out a few people under his command who were best at riding and shooting.

Different from the Xianbei jian’er in Yishui, the people he called out were both Jie, Xiongnu and Han, but Tuoba Yilu was quite surprised.

Soon, the venue was set up.

Xianbei’s willow tree is different from that in the Central Plains. The willow branch is broken, and after peeling off a circle of white skin, it hangs a few feet off the ground.

When shooting a broken willow white, the one who catches the broken branch is the top; the one who breaks but cannot catch it is the second;

Because it was a competition, Tuoba Yilu directly hung up six sections of wicker, and each side sent three people to compete.

As a result, not only do you have to test archery, but also equestrianism is meant to be compared.

Whoever rides faster and better will win the race!

After all, it is the big tent of Xianbei. Seeing such a contest, many people poured out, talking and laughing, and some people could not help blowing the deer whistle, making a lot of noise.

This has also become another obstacle.

However, Yiyan didn’t even have any instructions, so he ordered his own soldiers to fight.

When the horn of the horn sounded, six horses galloped out.

Xianbei people grew up on horseback, and if they can walk, they must be able to ride horses.

This time, the elites of the king account were selected again, and all of them were very brave.

However, the Jin soldiers on the opposite side are not too much, and even their riding skills look more correct, as if they were born on a horse!

Tuoba Yilu’s eyes were very good, and he immediately saw that their saddles were somewhat different from their own.

It really is a warrior under the command of the Buddha, and this saddle and bridle is also so sophisticated.

Just a few sharp noises cut through the clear sky, and the six wickers were all broken.

The sidelines immediately became noisy, and many people cheered.

The Jin army standing by the side was still tidy.

Tuoba Yilu nodded secretly again, and just took the wicker, looking carefully.

I saw that the six willow sticks were almost the same, and they were all shot at the white spot, and everyone received a willow branch.

Tuoba Yilu couldn’t help laughing loudly: “As expected of General Yi’s strong soldiers, isn’t it indistinguishable?”

Yi Yan also had some smiles on his lips: “Shan Yu has tens of thousands of soldiers, how can they be indistinguishable ?

Victory or defeat?”

Even if his own soldiers were few, he could say that he was neither humble nor arrogant.

However, when Tuoba Yilu heard it, he was indeed quite content.

Compared with the strength of the bow and horse, there are really few on this prairie that can surpass him, Tuoba Xianbei!

But having said that, the competition cannot be so simple.

Tuoba Yi Lu Meifeng picked it up: “I have only seen the abilities of these athletes, but I have not yet learned the general’s methods. I wonder if the general would like to show it?”

After comparing the soldiers, it is natural to compare the generals again.

Tuoba Yilu thought that he was a little older and might not be as good as Yiyan’s means, but he was a noble man, and it was all right to ask his nephews or generals to come and compete.

Who would have guessed that Yiyan didn’t answer him, but just said, “Since Shanyu wants to see it, the last general will be ugly.”

Huh?

What does it mean?

Before Tuoba Yilu could react, he saw Yi Yan summoning his own soldiers to fetch a hard bow.

The bow was specially made, the body of the bow was long, the tendons and corners were tight, and it had to have at least a two-stone pulling force.

What is even more eye-catching is that the grip of the bow body has been polished black and bright, and it is obvious that someone is practicing every day.

I saw Yi Yan grabbed the longbow, looked up at the sky, walked a few steps outside the tent, and came to an empty field.

At this time, Tuoba Yilu realized what the other party was staring at.

I saw a group of southbound geese about to fly overhead.

It was autumn, and it was the season when the wild geese flew south and crossed the grasslands. From time to time, one or two teams had to fly over their heads.

However, no one who lives in the grasslands will pay attention to the geese overhead.

Just because the geese fly too high!

If it’s just shooting the falling geese beside the woodland swamp, who will shoot the flying geese?

!

Just when Tuoba Yilu was in shock, he saw the young man from the Jie Ren suddenly pull the bowstring.

The power of this piece is majestic and domineering, it can overturn a galloping horse and tear off antlers!

Tuoba Yilu immediately recognized that the bow foot had three stones!

The other party ignored the gazes of others, his shoulders stretched to the extreme like a bowstring, and then loosened!

Hearing a humming sound, the geese that flew above the tent immediately exploded.

All the geese rushed on a rampage, screaming endlessly, just because their head geese were shot down by an arrow in the air!

This time, not to mention Tuoba Yilu, even the Xianbei people who were surrounded by them fell silent.

It was Yiyan’s personal soldiers who responded quickly and immediately picked up the dead goose that fell on the ground.

Tuoba Yilu sucked in a breath of cold air when he saw Na Yan’s injury clearly.

This arrow actually penetrated the head of the goose!

At least three hundred steps away!

What a ferocious arrow!

“General’s sharp shot!” The Bingzhou cavalry, who had been standing beside them, shouted in unison.

The sound was so uniform that it could tear the sky apart.

Being complimented by this compliment brought back his soul, Tuoba Yilu laughed loudly, and patted Yi Yan’s shoulder hard: “General Yi is indeed the envoy’s favorite general! He really shoots!”

This laughter immediately faded away The chilling and deterrent shouting in unison, the other Xianbei men in the camp also shouted, there was no vigilance in their tone, but a strong sense of admiration.

The most respected men of these horses are heroes!

A sharpshooter who can shoot down a geese with one arrow is naturally worthy of their respect!

Without mentioning the matter of the contest, Tuoba Yilu personally held Yi Yan and walked back to the camp.

“If your subordinates are made like virtuous brothers, it is no wonder that the white dogs will lose in a mess! Haha! With such a fierce general in hand, why should you be afraid of the Xiongnu!” Tuoba Yilu has been unceremoniously called brother and brother.

Yi Yan didn’t have too many emotional fluctuations on his face, and only said: “After all, Bingzhou has few soldiers, and it took two years to train these. It still needs Shanyu’s help.”

It only takes two years to train such a strong soldier?

Tuoba Yilu’s eyes flickered for a moment, and then he smiled and said: “Those white dogs are the trouble of my Tuoba department. This time my army has sent six thousand soldiers, is that enough?”

Zhang Bin said repeatedly: “Enough! Enough! With Shanyu sending troops, the group of white traitors will definitely be able to return to Shanyu’s account!”

These words were extremely appropriate.

Not only promised the other party’s help, but also indirectly pointed out that they would not covet the victory of this battle.

As long as the Bai clan is swept away, these Xianbei people will still be slaves of the Tuoba clan, at their disposal.

Yi Yan also handed over at the same time: “Thank you Shanyu.”

Tuoba Yilu narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

After seeing the strength of this group of Bingzhou soldiers, he immediately made a decision.

This is not the weak soldiers under Sima Teng.

In just two years, such a team can be produced. What if you give Liang Shijun another two years?

Afraid that the Huns would also retreat.

The Tuoba Department is adjacent to Bingzhou, and it is far from being strong enough now.

Surrendering to the Great Jin and slowly accumulating strength is the top priority.

That’s why his older brother sent troops to aid Sima Teng before, but now that someone is in charge of Bingzhou, Tuoba Yilu is still not ready to turn his back.

Since he can’t turn his face, he must have a good relationship with the new governor of Bingzhou.

In the face of the weak, you can perfunctory and intimidate, but in the face of the strong, you can’t.

It’s better to leave some incense and affection now, so that you can climb up the relationship in the future.

Besides, the envoy was right.

After all, Bai Bu was a servant of his Tuoba Department, so he couldn’t show weakness in front of outsiders, and he couldn’t let this army and horse be in chaos.

Someone can help him level the game, which is really taking advantage.

Such a thing that has the best of both worlds, it is a fool not to agree!

“Where is it! I, Tuoba Yiyi, are originally a minister of the Great Jin Dynasty. This kind of thing, so that you can send as much as you can!” Tuoba Yilu smiled and patted his palm, “come here! Today is a distinguished guest. Roast the sheep, prepare wine, and prepare a feast!”

Now that the business is settled, it is time to receive the guests properly.

Nomads are naturally wandering, and it is rare to see strangers on the vast grasslands, so they are extremely hospitable.

The Tuoba Department was very wealthy, and they brought this hospitality to the extreme.

Not only have brothers and sons been brought in to accompany guests, but even a lot of female relatives have also been brought in. The 800 elite knights that Yiyan brought are also within the scope of hospitality.

How can others refuse to be kind?

Yiyan also ordered the sons to disarm and drink alcohol, and today they are not subject to the military ban.

With such a good guest, Tuoba Yilu’s interest increased again.

The feast begins at sunset and continues until the bonfire is raging.

Xianbei people sang and danced around the fire.

Even if there are guards and other Jin people who teach etiquette and implement Chinese methods, Tuoba still maintains a rough and indulgent pride in his roots.

If you don’t drink and dance, how can you count as a good feast?

!

The clear singing voice of the woman and the heroic laughter of the man blended into the night.

The bonfires are like scattered stars, all over the ground, stretching into a splendid galaxy.

Zhang Bin was holding a wine bowl and whispering to Wei Cao, discussing whether Bingzhou could do business with the Tuoba clan.

And Yi Yan was caught in the middle by a group of men, who kept drinking.

There are also people who are curious about the strong bow that shoots wild goose and want to give it a try.

Although Yiyan is also a Hu, but the Jie people have always been farming for a living, and he has stayed in the Liang Mansion for several years, he is really not used to such warm hospitality without boundaries.

But he was already considered an ally. He didn’t see the outside world. When the wine was dry, he could play with the bow as much as he wanted to play. He just rejected a few women who came to invite him, and he never really jumped on the field.

The scene was terribly chaotic, but Yi Yan did not lose control during such a banquet.

This drink is much weaker than the spirits in Liang Mansion. Drinking too much will only cause abdominal distension, and it will not make him drunk.

And he wouldn’t let himself get drunk out of control.

Just as he was dealing with those Xianbei barbarians, a faint sound of music entered his ears.

Yi Yan turned his head and saw a Xianbei girl sitting next to the fire in the distance, playing the bamboo reed as if no one else was there.

The voice was clear and high-pitched, with a bit of tact, reminding him of some distant past events.

Seemingly aware of his gaze, the woman raised her head sharply and looked over here.

Not expecting to be discovered, Yi Yan withdrew his gaze and continued drinking.

However, this action, after all, fell into the eyes of others.

On the branches of the moon, no matter how enthusiastic a banquet is, there will be a time when it will end.

Yi Yan’s footsteps were fairly steady, and he slowly walked towards the residence assigned to him.

However, raising the curtain, his brows immediately wrinkled.

I saw a girl sitting in the tent, the one who just blew the spring.

Seeing Yi Yan, the woman’s sweet apricot-like eyes immediately widened, and she whispered, “Yi Luogui!”

This is the meaning of “hero” in Xianbei dialect.

However, seeing Yiyan’s eyebrows wrinkling slightly, the girl immediately understood that the other party might not understand Xianbei language.

She had no intention of continuing to communicate, but stood up boldly and pulled off the long gown wrapped around her body.

She has smooth wheat-colored skin, a plump chest, long and toned legs, and a charming and bright face. Under the torch of butter, she is simply breathtaking.

Facing such a beautiful scenery, Yi Yan’s brows furrowed even more. Instead of entering the tent, he took a step back and lowered the curtain to block the beautiful scenery behind the curtain.

However, before he could stand still, the curtain suddenly opened again, and the girl stared at Yi Yan in shock and anger.

Her beauty is also one of the best in the tribe, and no one has ever rejected her show of love.

How dare this Capricorn man do this to her?

!

However, Yi Yan took a step back and whispered in the Hun language: “I’m sorry, I have someone I love.” The

girl could understand some Hun language, she was stunned for a while, and couldn’t help but ask: “She has my beauty. Is it?!”

“No one is more beautiful than him.” The

bright moonlight shone on the young and handsome face, and the gray-blue eyes almost turned dark blue, like the color of Tianchi Lake above the snow-capped mountains.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and asked unwillingly, “Then why do you still look at me?”

“You are playing the reed. The music reminds me of that person.” Yi Yan’s brows and eyes relaxed, and these words , almost gentle.

The girl has seen the heroic appearance of this Jie man when he shoots geese, the power of hundreds of soldiers standing up and shouting his name, and the appearance of his indifference and calmness at the banquet.

However, she had never seen such a gentle whisper.

After hesitating for a moment, the girl suddenly grabbed the bamboo spring from her waist and stuffed it in Yiyan’s hand: “Here it is!”

Yiyan wanted to push back, but the other party said bitterly, “It misunderstood me! Don’t! It’s here!”

This showed that it wasn’t a love affair, but that the girl really wanted to give him the bamboo reed.

Yi delays doubts for a moment, the other party has withdrawn his hand, as if not very reconciled, and points his toes, wanting to kiss him on the face.

With Yi Yan’s skills there, how could she have succeeded?

Seeing the man who was trying to avoid even kissing on the cheek, the Xianbei girl stomped her feet in anger, and left the camp like Fei Ye, ignoring her open clothes.

Yi Yan sighed softly.

For him, such an enthusiastic courtship is quite rare.

But what he wanted was never this.

Holding the bamboo reed tightly, he returned to the tent.

The slightly drunken taste of wine began to evaporate, and in the haze, he seemed to hear a burst of music, light, joyful, with carefree enthusiasm and gentle and warm nostalgia.

He can’t play the piano, but with bamboo reeds, he might be able to play the same melody.

Holding the small musical instrument, he lay down on the felt.

The next day, the group left the Tuoba Department and returned to Bingzhou.

After all, the soldiers and horses are not able to move on the move, but also prepare food and grass to find out the enemy’s reality.

The two agreed to send troops after half a month.

He was treated well last night, but after leaving the Tuoba Department, Zhang Bin, who was riding on the horse, turned serious: “This group of Xianbei people may become a big problem for the Xiongnu!”

Yi Yan Brows wrinkled: “They have sent troops to the court several times, and their temperament is also heroic and hospitable. It seems that

they have no malicious intentions.” “However, Wei Cao’s group of Jin people gave them enough ambition. Do you know? They even erected a monument for Tuoba Yi. They wrote ‘Wei, the descendants of Xuanyuan’. Even barbarians dare to call themselves Xuanyuan?! ”

These words are a bit harsh for Yi Yan, after all, he is also a Hu species.

However, Zhang Bin’s expression did not change, as if he didn’t see the people around him as barbarians.

That little discomfort subsided quickly.

Yiyan pondered for a moment: “It’s good to have ambitions, it’s easy to drive. As long as the lord never becomes weaker, those Xianbei children will not dare to offend.”

This is also the nature of all Hu species.

Respect the strong, bully the weak.

Like greedy wolves, uncontrollable and tame.

Zhang Bin glanced at Yi Yan in surprise, then smiled and said, “That’s right. You have to think about making the emperor stronger. But it’s not impossible to deal with these Xianbei people…” Zhang Bin didn’t

finish speaking. Bin grabbed the horse’s belly and galloped up.

He is not tall, and his martial arts are mediocre, but his arrogance is not much worse than those of the generals in Jinyang City.

This is indeed the talent that the Lord needs.

Yiyan had a fixed mind in his heart, pulled the reins of the puller unhurriedly, and led his troops to chase after him.
