Gao Ren replied: "The country is composed of the emperor, the country, and the people. It is like a carriage. Only when everyone performs their duties can it run normally. Soldiers are the guarantee of the country. A qualified soldier will not think too much, because on the battlefield
Things are changing rapidly, and life and death are just a matter of thoughts. Many times, he will not be allowed to think too much. What a soldier needs is just obedience and execution. From this point of view, Gao Ren has too many distracting thoughts in his heart and is not a qualified soldier, but Yue Ying
, he has a simple mind. Although he is capable of playing tricks on the enemy on the battlefield, he will never care so much about his own people."
Su Yin let out a long sigh: "What a standard soldier. I understand. It's just a pity. That's all, Blade, speed up. It's important to get to Fengjiabao."
Gao Ren bowed his head and obeyed the order, jerked the horse's back suddenly, and the horse accelerated to a trot.
"Follow me!" Tai Shiwu waved his hand back and followed closely.
Meng Che also waved his riding whip, and the speed of the carriage suddenly increased.
The whole team began to march on this vast grassland.
In the next two days, not much happened. Except for the sporadic Huns who came to rob without knowing what they were doing, they were all easily taken care of by Gao Ren and others. In this way, on the third day, the team marched to the northern part of the grassland.
the end of.
Only less than five miles away, the scenery in front of us changed drastically. It gave the impression that just a short time ago it was green, but then a solemn pale color appeared.
"My lord, this is called the October Corridor. It is about five miles wide and a thousand miles long. It is the dividing line between the Xiongnu grassland and the northern part of the Saibei." Taishi Wu rode his horse to the carriage and reported: "The front is already the boundary of the northern part of the Saibei.
According to what Gao Shuai said, we are still more than two hundred miles away from Fengjiabao."
Su Yin looked up at the sky. The gray clouds in the sky looked very thick, and it seemed that snowflakes were about to fall.
"Go forward another hundred miles and rest!" Su Yin said: "Fengjiabao is not someone to be trifled with, so don't rush this night."
Everyone obeyed the order and sped up, and finally arrived at a place less than a hundred miles away from Fengjiabao in the evening.
"My lord, the remaining journey only takes less than half a day. We can reach Fengjiabao before noon tomorrow." Gao Ren reported.
Su Yin frowned: "The speed doesn't matter, it's just that this place is so depressed, and the dry food we brought with us has almost been consumed. If we can't eat well, what will you do if you are weak tomorrow?"
Gao Ren smiled: "Don't worry, my lord, this place looks extremely desolate, but we are all from the field army, how can we still be hungry?"
After speaking, Gao Ren waved his hand and ordered, and Tai Shiwu and Gu Xueqiao rode off behind him. Meng Che and Liuli were left behind to pitch the tent together.
After about a while of burning incense, Gao Ren and others rode back. There was a string of prey tied to the saddle, but it looked a little strange and I didn't know what it was.
"Blade, what are these?" Su Yin asked curiously.
Gao Ren threw the prey to the ground and reported back: "It's just a kind of gopher in the land of Saibei. Back then, I led my army to fight fiercely with the Xiongnu, and achieved the so-called 800-mile victory against the Xiongnu in the north. The farthest I could catch up with was around here.
"At that time, the army was very short of food and grass, so a veteran invented this method of catching gophers, which solved our food problem."
