Zhi Xuan

In the early spring, everything recovers, and the grass grows and the warblers fly.

The south of the desert is covered with fresh green, and the north of the desert is still covered with white snow.

The sound of desolate horns came from a distance, and the shepherds who herded the sheep waved their long whips and rode their horses galloping outside the sheepfold.Dogs domesticated by wolves chased the flocks, searching for lambs hidden in snowdrifts, and bringing them back to the pen one by one.

The sound of the horn is getting closer and closer, and the sound of horseshoes is like thunder.

The black flag was fluttering in the wind, and the golden thread on the edge was shining brightly.

At the front of the line, Zhixuan was wearing a leather hat and a black robe with the same color fur inlaid on the neckline.A large cloak covered the shoulders, and the hem fluttered in the wind, revealing a totem woven with golden threads.

The team came on the snow, the knights on horseback whistled, and dozens of vigorous figures flew across the snow field, gathering on both sides of the team like black light.

At the head was a black wolf, huge and strong, surpassing its parents.Commanding the wolves with strength is a well-deserved wolf king.

After the wolves gathered, they all raised their necks and howled after the wolf king.

The cry pierced through the cold wind, like the friction of sand and stones, sharp and piercing.

These fierce grassland overlords can easily bite the throat of their prey.In the blink of an eye, a strong stag can be shredded.

At this moment, they were squatting in front of Zhixuan's horse, their fangs and claws frightening, but they didn't see any threat. Instead, they lowered their heads and even wagged their tails.

Zhi Xuan tightened the reins and grabbed the violent horse.

The maroon horse snorted and stomped its hooves.The silky horse mane is like quicksilver, soft and smooth, comparable to the finest silk and satin.

Zhixuan's mount is a descendant of King Ma, with a tough temperament and never afraid of wild wolves.If Zhi Xuan hadn't held the reins firmly, the two sides would have faced a battle if they met.

The wolves brought back abundant prey, and the two stags fell to the ground. The wounds on their bodies had solidified, and the antlers were still hanging with fresh moss.

There is a hot spring in the forest, which is filled with heat all the year round, and the snow melts when it falls.During the lean season, people and animals will migrate here to search for food from the forest.

The prey gathered in large numbers, and the hunters followed.

Herds of deer always act in groups and become the best hunting targets.

Zhixuan's trip was for the alliance, and the hunting was a temporary idea.Before releasing the wolves, he sent people to inform the nearby cities and strongholds to avoid misunderstandings.

A few years have passed since the last alliance, the chariots of the princes are galloping in all directions, and the territory of each country has doubled.Even the most stubborn Zhongdu clan went out of the Central Plains, followed the banner of the King of People, set foot in the wilderness, and enclosed a large area of ​​land.

The symbolic meaning of the human king always exists, but the power of the princes is becoming more and more out of control.

Probably due to the rapid growth of the territory, some people began to expand, and friction and conflicts occurred from time to time.If the four princes were not strong enough to suppress dissatisfied voices and let them continue to develop, they might get out of hand.

If you don't want the war to expand, the second alliance is really necessary.

On the choice of the location of the alliance, the four princes discussed together and finally decided on Mobei.

Unlike the first alliance, this time, Zhongducheng was not completely excluded.But it's just a notice, just a superficial article.The man Wang Huai did not send anyone to participate, and the princes did not take the initiative to invite.

As for the Zhongdu clan, the development over the past few years has allowed them to recognize their position and understand their position.

If you want to develop steadily, it is best not to pick things up at will.

Human kings can put down their power and be satisfied with the status quo. As subjects, it is best not to have any thoughts that they shouldn't have.

The alliance was decided, and the princes who received the news came from the country one after another.Some are fighting abroad, and there will inevitably be delays on the way.Fortunately, the date is set at the beginning of summer, so we should be able to make it in time according to our respective schedules.

Even if it is too late, the monarchs will perform miracles.

It is the Marquis of Xiyuan who contributed to the present situation of the various countries.The meeting a few years ago is vivid in memory, and the purpose of this meeting is pushed forward. No one wants to miss this grand event.

The most inflated ones dare not ignore the invitation of the four great princes.

The princes, big and small, are invincible and invincible in all battles. Occasionally, they get hot-headed and dream of being invincible.

It's a pity that a dream is a dream after all. Returning to reality, who can provoke who can't. Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, and no one dares to easily stroke the tiger's beard.

When the hunting party returned, the gates of the camp were immediately opened.

The wolves rushed in first, followed by the sound of rumbling horseshoes, accompanied by desolate horns and rumbling drums, resounding through the vast snowfield.

The sound spread into the distant city, and the defenders at the top of the city responded.

The teams waiting to enter the city stopped one after another, looked towards the barracks, and praised the majesty of the Xiyuan National Army, the prosperity of the country, and the strength of the king.

Yuan Ying finished dealing with a clan dispute, and when she learned that Zhixuan had returned to the camp, she immediately ran out of the house and rode her horse to the camp.

Now, Mobei is no longer desolate.Large and small cities have sprung up from the ground, and post stations in various countries are dotted all over.The newly built official roads are criss-crossing traffic, and because of the different specifications, it is easy to tell which country it was built at a glance.

Yuanying's fief also changed drastically.

The old nests and tents are gone, replaced by tall buildings.The city walls built of bluestone and mud bricks are thick and strong, protecting all the workshops in the city.

The scale of the city is small, and the planning in the city is well organized.

Thousands of people gathered in the city, attracting a large number of caravans, and there were exiled clans, Chinese and common people.Day after day, this small city became more and more prosperous, and its military strength gradually became stronger, becoming a force that cannot be ignored in the land of Mobei.

Such rapid development is inseparable from the background of Yuan Ying.

As the younger sister of Marquis Nishihara, she naturally has advantages.As long as our minds are not muddled and we do practical things in a down-to-earth manner, there will be a lot of domestic support and olive branches from all sides will pour in.

It is not easy for Yuan Ying to take root in Mobei with all her heart.

It is worth mentioning that a new city is rising twenty miles away from her fief.The owner of the city has a special identity, neither the Xiyuan clan nor the Bei'an clan, but Mrs. Mo who actually controls Xidi.

Since the death of the son, Mrs. Mo has been in charge of the power alone, carefully educating her two children.

Under her governance, Xidi prospered day by day, and took advantage of its geographical advantages to become a transportation hub connecting the north and the south.

A few years have passed, and the children have grown up. Mrs. Mo handed over the power and spared no effort to develop northward.

As the widow of the son Xun, she belongs to the An clan, and should have advanced and retreated with Bei Anhou's family.However, as early as a few years ago, she surrendered to Zhixuan, and reached a tacit understanding with each other, willing to be a subject of the Marquis of Xiyuan.

After Mrs. Mo handed over the fine land, she used the resources at hand to build a city in Mobei. The location she chose was close to the sphere of influence of the Xiyuan Kingdom. This was undoubtedly to show her position to the world.

In this regard, Bei'an State's attitude is that it has no attitude.

The monarch did not speak, and chose to let it go.The clans will not take the initiative to hate.After all, Mrs. Mo has a special status, and it is impossible to write off what happened in the early years.She is magnanimous in not planning revenge, and expecting to be of one mind with her is really whimsical.

Not long after Mrs. Mo gained a foothold, Marquis Mo followed closely to build a city in Mobei, with a clear attitude of supporting his sister.

It should be said that the Mo family is destined to bring wealth, especially the brothers and sisters of Mohou, who can find mineral deposits 100% of the land they occupy.

Some people were envious and tried to take a shortcut and followed the team of Mo Kingdom to enclose the land.However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations. The distance was less than [-] meters. There were large mines within the border markers of Mo Country, but there were no hairs outside the markers.

Things are so evil, I really can't accept it.

Yunhou was also building a city in Mobei, separated by a dense forest. He happened to meet Mohou who was hunting, and then he knew that he and the brother and sister were neighbors.

The two sides met and chatted for a few words, and they hit it off.

It was a pity for Marquis Yun, and touched his chin to express that if Marquis Mo was not the king of a country and had been married for many years, she would definitely hire him as her husband.

Yunhou has always been informal, but Mohou knew her character and smiled freely, but he didn't take it to heart.

The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and then they decided on several cooperations, bringing Mrs. Mo and Yuan Ying in successively, and everyone made a fortune together.

Zhi Xuan led his army to Mobei, and the four had just made an alliance.

Yuan Ying hurried to the camp in order to report the matter.In addition, she also wanted to inquire about son Ming.

Knowing the difficulty of starting from scratch, Yuan Ying has been worried since receiving the news that Young Master Ming will seal the West.

However, all kinds of things are entangled and involve too much energy on her.The only thing that can be done is to send resources to help Young Master Ming build a fief as much as possible, so that he can avoid detours.

A year has passed, judging from the feedback information, Young Master Ming's life is going well.Recently, I joined a few of the Yuan clan's children and planned to explore westward together.

It's just that Yuan Ying is still worried. This time when Zhi Xuan arrived in Mobei, he happened to ask for instructions in person, so that he could be sure that everything was going well for Young Master Ming, not to report good news or bad news.

Yuan Tao wrote her a letter a few days ago, and will leave Zhongdu City soon, and return to Xiyuan Country for a short stay.The internal reasons are not detailed, but in Yuan Ying's view, the situation in the world has been settled, and Yuan Tao doesn't need to stay in Zhongdu.

The monarch loves Yuantao, and both Mobei and Xidi have fiefdoms belonging to her, which are managed by special personnel and have developed quite well.To this day, the marriage alliance of fellow Wang Huai is dispensable, staying anywhere is more comfortable than in Zhongdu, why bother to go back and shut himself up.

Regarding the marriage alliance, Yuan Ying has a unique opinion.

There were five big clans who expressed the intention of marrying, but Yuan Ying refused them all, and was not tempted at all.

Men are totally unimportant when it comes to construction.

To paraphrase Zhixuan's words, it's fine if Yuan Ying is not married. After marriage, once the other party affects her speed of drawing the sword, she will probably stage an ancient version of the husband-killing sermon.

Yuan Ying and his party arrived at the camp, before they could report, they saw flying cavalry coming from behind, three teams in a row, all with flags on their backs.

"Southern Zhaohou arrives!"

"The Marquis of Bei'an is here!"

"The Marquis of Dongliang is here!"

Not long after, the gate of the camp opened wide, and a black chariot drove out from the camp.

The car door was wide open, and Zhi Xuan saw Yuan Ying in front of the camp, who quickly stepped aside, dismounted and saluted.

The horn sounded from far to near, and the brothers and sisters had no time to talk, and Zhao Hao's team of three appeared in sight one after another.

The wind blows across the grassland, rolling up scattered snow.

In the vast land of Mobei, the four great princes gathered together.

As more princes arrived, a raging bonfire was ignited around the alliance platform, and a grand alliance was about to officially start.
