Chapter 44 The Western Commander (1)

It is said that Jincheng belonged to the Qiang area at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

According to the geographical location, Jincheng is located between the present Xining and Lanzhou, and it was still desolate at that time.

Zhengxi is the Great Qiang area, inhabited by hundreds of Qiang tribes, large and small.

To the southwest is Jishi Mountain.Going southeast along the Taoshui River, it takes about 45 days to reach the territory of Longxi.

Dong Bi rode on the spotted beast, raised his eyes and looked around.

The sky was blue and the wilderness was vast, and the desolate and vast scenery in the west was completely different from the scenery he had seen in Lintao.Here, the sky is high, the land is wide, and all the unpleasant feelings seem to disappear all at once when the horses are galloping.

Although it was approved by the lion's mane, Dong Bi didn't think it was a good thing to ride it now.

According to the Xiangma Jing, the real maturity of the lion's mane should be six to seven years old.Then there was a peak period of 30 years, or maybe a little longer.The lion-maned beast, Ah Chou, is only over a year old now, and is not yet suitable to be Dong Pi's mount.At this age, it should gallop freely in the vast world and develop more robustly.

Feed with the best feed, gallop in the northwest land.

Maybe in a few years, when the lion-maned beast Ah Chou really grows up, he will be able to complement Dong Bi.

Therefore, Dong Bi is not in a hurry.

He has enough patience to wait for the lion's mane beast to fully grow up.Isn't it five or six years?At that time, Dong Bi will only be seventeen or eighteen years old, and it will be very pleasant to cooperate with Ah Chou.But now, let's keep the lion's mane beast Uchou's nature and let it grow up happily and carefree.Looking at the lion mane beast, Dong Bi smiled.

"Young master, what are you laughing at?"

"Lu Yi, who do you think will be more powerful in the future, A Chou and the red rabbit horse that the eldest sister gave to dad?"

Although Luyi has changed her name to Dong Lu, Dong Bi is still used to the original address.And Luyi also felt that the old name was more pleasing to the ear.Hearing Dong Bi's question, she covered her mouth and laughed: "I have never seen the Chituma before, so how do I know who is good? But when the Chituma leaves home, no matter how well the old man raises it, it will still be It lacks a bit of the original nature. According to the servants, if you compare it, the young master's Ah Chou is the most powerful."

Dong Bi was very happy when he heard this.

He knew that Lu Yi's words were flattering, but he was willing to listen.

People, always like to listen to good things that are pleasant to the ear.Besides, the Lion's Mane Beast and him use the same baby name, so Dong Bi's expectations for the Lion's Mane Beast are naturally much higher than those of the Chituma.Is the red rabbit in the horse?Maybe it will be changed to Ma Zhong Ah Chou at that time.

Dong Bi was very happy when he thought of what A Chou would look like when he grew up in the future.

There was a sharp whistle from the mouth of the mouth, and the lion-maned beast Achou immediately responded with a long hiss, galloping from a distance.

"Ah Chou looks much better!"

Dong Yu was in the cavalry, watching Dong Bi urge the Spotted Beast and the Lion's Mane Beast to compete with each other.She smiled and said to Bei Gongbo: "Two days ago, you saw his appearance, as if he had lost his soul. It has only been more than ten days, and he seems to have adjusted."

Bei Gongbo said: "It's just a child, it's normal."

Dong Yu shook his head lightly, "Is it really a child? Beigong, sometimes I always feel that Ah Chou is older than us."

"Isn't that a monster?"

"Maybe...whether it's a monster or not, he's my younger brother." Dong Yu suddenly changed the subject, "Bei Gong, you seem to be preoccupied these two days, can you tell me that we are husband and wife, we should share weal and woe ah."

Bei Gongbo scratched his head, sighed and said: "Actually, I have no foundation in my heart when I become the captain of the western region. The situation in Jincheng is complicated, and the situation in my family is not optimistic. Although there is an official position in the imperial court , but I always feel that it is difficult to handle. In fact, you also know that I don’t want to be an official, and I don’t even want to be the leader.”

Dong Yu's cheeks twitched, and his eyes dimmed immediately.

"Bei Gong, I know your temperament. To be honest, I don't think you are suitable to be the leader. But now that you have become the leader and an official of the court, you must take this responsibility. You are Worry……"

Before Dong Yu could finish speaking, Bei Gongbo nodded, "Second brother is very ambitious, I know it. And... I know him as a person, but he is too ambitious. The more ambitious he is, the more likely he will be harmed, and even the whole clan will be harmed." But some people in the clan support him, and he is quite prestigious among the surrounding clans, I am really worried that he will bring disaster."

"Then kill him!"

Dong Yu's eyes turned cold, and he said: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. If you care about the whole clan, the best way is to kill him. If you kill the second younger brother, the differences in the clan will naturally disappear. Whoever gets up again Resisting, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight alone."

"But he is my brother, how can I do this? Sister, if Ah Chou endangers the family in the future, will you kill him?"

Dong Yu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Dong Bi.

In the distance, Dong Bi was urging his horse to run, but it could be seen that although the spotted beast was a horse, it was still no match for the lion-maned beast, Ah Chou.In this back-and-forth race, Spotted Beast was two horses behind A Chou, and the winner was clear at a glance.

Dong Bi didn't feel depressed at all, A Chou has such a speed before he is an adult, and it will be even worse in the future.

He laughed and encouraged the spotted beast under his crotch to cheer up from time to time.At the same time, Dong Tie, Dong Zhao and Lu Yi in the distance were also cheering for the spotted beast from time to time.With the support of so many people, the spotted beast rose up again and caught up with a horse.

Dong Yu's eyes were very complicated, and he said softly: "If there is such a day, I will definitely kill him with my own hands. If I can't kill him, he will kill me... Bei Gong, things in this world are actually so simple, just like sheep You will always be eaten by wolves. You must make up your mind to go back this time, and if you hesitate, you will only harm everyone."

"Let me think again, think again!

Bei Gongbo still looked hesitant, Dong Yu sighed and stopped persuading.

She knew the husband so well, he was a good man, a very good man.But good people are not suitable to live here. The northwest is barren. If they want to survive, they must be like the ferocious wild wolves in the northwest, otherwise they will be eaten sooner or later.

If Bei Gongbo lived in the Central Plains, he might become a celebrity.

He is a Qiang, but he admires the culture of the Central Plains.Every time those celebrities in the Central Plains had poems circulated, he would always spend a lot of money to buy them.This is a good thing, but in the northwest land, Dong Yu hoped that Bei Gongbo would hold his big knife instead of holding books all day long.Sometimes, Dong Yu felt that he was more suitable for survival than Bei Gongbo.

Moreover, Bei Gongbo really doesn't understand these truths?Not necessarily, he was born and raised on this land.

Maybe he knows the rules here better than Dong Yu, but he just doesn't want to admit it, and he doesn't want to face this kind of cruelty.

The first snow at the end of the second year of Guanghe came earlier than any other time in previous years.

Almost overnight, heavy snow fell from the northwest, and the whole world was set against a vast expanse of whiteness. The scenery is so spectacular.

The snowflakes swirled in the biting cold wind, falling and floating again.

Walking on the snow field, the wind and the snow whistling, people can't even open their eyes, let alone advance in the snow.This sudden heavy snow lasted for two days and two nights.When the weather improved, the snow on the ground had reached the depth of the calf.The horse moved forward with great difficulty.Not to mention the oxcarts pulling the goods, they creaked and swayed on the snow, which forced the group of people to slow down.

Dong Bi only loves the scenery of the snowy field.

I studied hard at home for 12 years. Although I didn't have much talent and learning, my sentiment was cultivated.

If you want to survive in this era, you must first learn to adapt to everything in this era.How useful are the things learned in the past in this era?I'm afraid that people who haven't come to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty will not be able to understand it.

20 days of road, a full walk of more than 40 days.

When seeing the shadow of Jincheng County from a distance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
