This Dongbo veteran was called Qirige. Lin Ye asked him what his name meant, and he replied that it was a kind of weed from Dongbo.
Qirige said that the Dongbo people did not have this name in the early days. Later, when Dongbo once occupied half of the Central Plains, they also learned a lot from the Central Plains people.
For example, people from poor families in the Central Plains would give their children very derogatory names, thinking that this way the children would be able to feed themselves well and grow up in peace.
This also affected the people of Dongbo. Later, many common people in Dongbo named their children in the same way.
His name is a kind of weed in the wilderness, which can survive even in that kind of windy, sandy and dry land.
Qirige said: “I don’t know if this is true, but the names are getting more and more outrageous.”
He said: "My good friend who grew up with me is named Goguli."
Lin Ye asked: "What does Goguli mean?"
Qirige said: "Egg."
Zheng Pang, one of Lin Ye's personal soldiers, was stunned for a moment and asked: "What egg?"
Qi Rige said: "Goguli means egg, there is no specific meaning of egg."
Pang Panghai smiled: "It's quite fun."
He said to himself: "Goguli, you have to remember this, my name is Lianggoguli."
Lin Ye looked at him, and Pang Panghai shut up immediately.
After chatting for a while, Lin Ye asked him about the situation at Xingyue Lake in Rige.
Qi Rige said: "The biggest horse thieves are the Lulan people, who were originally considered a relatively large tribe in Dongbo."
"At first the Lulan people also resisted Lou Fan's army, but later the capital was destroyed and the Lulan people felt they could no longer hold on, so they surrendered to Lou Fan."
"After we won the battle, the monarch began to punish these traitors. Most of the Lulan people were wiped out, and the rest were mostly old, weak, women and children. They hid in the mountains because of fear."
Qi Rige said: "In addition to the Lulan people, there are dozens of horse thieves, large and small, in Xingyue Lake. Most of them took advantage of people from other tribes to graze here. They robbed horses, cattle and sheep and ran away."
Lin Ye nodded.
The reason why these horse thieves are vicious is not only because they are good at fighting, but also because they cannot survive without robbing things.
Qi Rige said: "Last year, our general set up an ambush in Xingyue Lake and killed at least a thousand horse thieves, but don't even think about wiping them all out in one go. They are so cunning."
Lin Ye asked: "Did you participate in the last battle to eliminate the horse thieves?"
Qi Rige nodded proudly: "I am a scout, and we were the ones who discovered the movements of the horse thieves last time."
He said: "The climate here should be different from yours. Pasture grows gradually from west to east, so herders graze from west to east."
"Xingyue Lake is the largest water source and must be reached. There is a mountain on one side. Horse thieves often come out of the canyon. If they are pursued, they will defend the canyon."
Qi Rige sighed: "That ruined place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Not to mention that thousands of men and horses cannot enter, even if tens of thousands of troops are mobilized, it may not be possible."
Lin Ye nodded.
Qi Rige said: "General Lin, why do you come here to train troops? The horse thieves here are fierce and your recruits cannot deal with them."
Lin Ye: "Because I'm in a hurry."
Qi Rige didn't understand, but he didn't ask again.
Most people in Dongbo are grateful to Yuren. After all, if Dayu hadn't sent hundreds of thousands of border troops to the north, Dongbo would have been destroyed by Lou Fan.
The same goes for Qi Rige. His brother was seriously injured on the battlefield and was saved by Dayu's soldiers.
Therefore, he has always respected beautiful women.
It takes at least four or five days to walk from Dongbo Border Pass to Xingyue Lake. Everywhere you pass along the way is filled with grassland scenery.
Lin Ye and the others put on the clothes of the Dongbo people. After the continuous rapid march, the fifty people under his command all looked extremely tired. However, living on horseback all year round was different. The more he looked at these beauties, the more he felt like this.
Things are unreliable.
These beauties don't know how to fight on horseback at all. If they fight against those fierce horse thieves, they will be defeated in all likelihood.
Once these beauties suffer heavy losses in Dongbo, even the monarch will be furious.
Therefore, after Qirige determined that these beauties had no ability to fight against the horse thieves, he secretly arranged for someone to go back to the inn to report to the general.
A few days later, Lin Ye and the others finally arrived near Xingyue Lake. Looking down from a high place, they realized why the lake was called this name.
The shape of the lake is like an irregular gourd, with one side larger and the other smaller. The larger side is rounder and the smaller side looks like a crescent moon.
At this time in June, the pasture was plentiful, so a large number of herdsmen gathered near Xingyue Lake.
Around the lake, there are cattle and sheep everywhere.
These soldiers from Dayu had never seen such a scene before. They were all so shocked that they forgot about the pain in their crotches.
The poem says that cows and sheep appear when the wind blows through the grass. Reading these words and fantasizing is ultimately not as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes.
"there."
Its grid points to the mountain opposite Xingyue Lake. It is a large mountain range that looks endless.
"The largest mountain is called Naibao Mountain, and there is a camp of horse thieves in the mountain."
Qi Rige said: "After our general led his troops to ambush in Xingyue Lake last time, these horse thieves have become less courageous. This year, we have not received any news of horse thieves plundering from herdsmen."
Lin Ye looked at the terrain over there and frowned slightly.
He wanted to fight the horse thieves in order to cope with greater dangers in the future, and also to expand the military strength of the Qi Barracks.
Lin Ye has not told anyone yet that he thinks something may happen to Yunzhou, which seems to be peaceful.
With the contracted military camp here, he can protect more people, even the people of Yunzhou.
But there is a Qi military camp that cannot fight. Let alone protect the people and their relatives, the soldiers in the Qi military camp cannot even protect themselves.
It is true that horse thieves are fierce. What we will face in the future may be much more fierce than horse thieves.
Besides, part of the reason for this military training was Yu Yucheng hastily.
So he didn't have that much time, so he could only use this seemingly cruel actual combat to improve the combat effectiveness of the Qi Barracks.
"General."
Qi Rige pointed in another direction: "Look over there."
A small river meanders from a distance and merges into Xingyue Lake. On both sides of the river, there are also cattle and sheep grazing.
Qi Rige said: "Generally speaking, horse thieves don't dare to attack large tribes directly, so they always start from there."
Lin Ye nodded.
Xingyue Lake has the best environment and the richest pasture, but because of this, this circle will of course be occupied by relatively large tribes.
The herdsmen of the small tribes could not compete and did not dare to compete. They could only graze on both sides of the river farther away from Xingyue Lake.
They were small in number and did not have many soldiers to fight with. Horse thieves roared in, robbed their cattle and sheep and fled, but they did not dare to pursue them.
Large tribes generally don't care about these things. As long as the horse thieves don't mess with them, there's no need for them to cause more trouble.
Lin Ye looked at the terrain over there. The river was winding, like a giant centipede crawling.
Because of this, once horse thieves attack, this winding river will turn into a prison.
"Let's go over and have a look."
After Lin Ye gave an order, he urged his horse forward.
Standing on a high place and looking towards Xingyue Lake, I saw that the distance was not far away, but running was different. It took half a day to reach Xingyue Lake.
Qi Rige is a captain of the Dongbo Border Army. He is wearing a military uniform. Lin Ye and the others are all wearing the clothes of the Dongbo Border Army.
So when the herdsmen saw the border troops arriving, they gave way one after another, and most of them took off their hats and saluted.
Lin Ye's personal troops were looking at Dahai, who was a little confused. He lowered his voice and asked Lin Ye: "Aren't these herdsmen afraid of the heat? It's June weather, and they're still wearing fur hats."
Lin Ye glared at him again.
Pang Panghai was originally Gao Tianbao's soldier. Because he was smart and capable of fighting, he was transferred to his personal barracks by Lin Ye.
Gao Tianbao is Lin Ye's super fan. Not to mention transferring Pang Dahai, he would be happy to be Lin Ye's personal soldier, even if he is now the general of the Qibing camp.
As one of the most powerful subordinates in the Qi army camp, Pang Panghai was not much better.
He asked Lin Ye again: "If you wear a leather hat, will you get prickly heat on your head?"
Lin Ye: "Shut up."
Pang Panghai let out an ooh, and suddenly saw someone taking a bath in Xingyue Lake in the distance. He was stunned for a moment: "The men here are so fierce. They don't know how to avoid taking a bath in front of everyone."
After finishing speaking, he was stunned for a moment: "Oh, why did you shake me? That's a fucking woman!"
Lin Ye said: "Let me remind you that if anyone intrudes on the herdsmen, they will be killed on the spot."
Pang Dahai: "Yes!"
Then he asked in a low voice: "See if everything is okay?"
Lin Ye: "Put out whichever eye you are looking at."
Pang Panghai immediately closed one eye and glanced secretly in that direction with one eye. As he glanced back, he said to himself: "One must be saved."
The people here are tough and don't take bathing together as a serious matter. They are used to it.
But the soldiers from Dayu opened their mouths in surprise when they saw this scene.
"correct."
Qi Rige smiled and said: "I would like to remind you, don't enter the tent casually. If you are attracted by a girl, it will be difficult to escape."
He looked at Lin Ye and said: "Especially the people of the Huole tribe, the girls are even more enthusiastic and very direct. If they like anyone among you, they will come directly to you and stretch out their hands to you."
"If you hold hands with her, it will be deemed that you have agreed. If you agree, you will stay. The man who is left behind will wait until the child is born before he can leave. If he leaves early, he will be killed. Huole people
I think that’s a traitor.”
Lin Ye said: "Do you remember everything?"
Pang Panghai and others immediately replied: "I remember."
Lin Ye said: "Don't fight yet, because the whole army will be wiped out just by holding hands."
But at this moment, a Huole girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old and had beautiful big eyes stretched out her hand towards Lin Ye.
Lin Ye was startled, then panicked.
Those big eyes are really beautiful, and they are really hot and direct. There seems to be some kind of magic in the eyes. They are very complex, and they are probably enchanted with purity.
Qirige laughed and said something to the girl in dialect, to the effect that they were here to perform a mission and could not stay long.
The girl looked at Lin Ye reluctantly and said something.
Lin Ye asked: "What is she talking about?"
Qi Rige said: "She wants to know your name and wants to ask you if you will come back."
Lin Ye said: "Apologise to her for me, I won't come back again."
Qirige said it again immediately, and the girl looked even more lonely. Lin Ye and the others had already rushed over, but she was still standing there watching.
Pang Panghai said to himself: "Why are you reaching out to the general? Do the girls here also like girls with pretty faces?"
Qirige turned around and said to him: "The girls here are direct, but they are not blind either."
Pang Panghai: "Am I not good-looking?"
Its grid: "Ugly, it's ugly."
