Tang's dining table

The snow on Tianshan Mountain is very white and has been white for many, many years.

It looked like this the year before last, it looked like this last year, and it still looks like this today, as if time had stopped at this moment and nothing had changed.

Just when the sunset fell on the white snow, the change gradually occurred, and there was a process of transformation from silvery white to golden yellow.

This process can be said to be fast or slow, but the process of change is extremely firm until it is swallowed up by darkness.

Sometimes, the proud swan will fly over Tianshan Mountain, and finally turn into a small black dot or even disappear, as if it has gone directly to the kingdom of God.

The golden eagle is different. It generally does not fly over the Tianshan Mountains. Instead, it prefers to fly with the air current among the cliffs. Only when it finds its prey, it will shrink its wings and fly down from the high altitude.

Bar-headed geese are generally the main reason for the whereabouts of golden eagles, because they are too persistent in their formation. The bar-headed geese at the end of the formation were crushed to death by the golden eagles. The formation of the bar-headed geese is still not disordered, but they make a whine with a long tail sound. Heartbreak.

The grieving process will not last too long. Under the leadership of the leading goose, the remaining bar-headed geese will line up one by one at one time and a "person" at another time, stubbornly crossing the last high ridge. , bursts of joyous chirps erupted, with short endings, and joy filled Tianshan Mountain.

Grasshopper Lake is under their wings and the end of their trip.

Yun Chu was wearing a marmot skin hat and standing on the edge of Grasshopper Lake. Seeing the bar-headed geese arriving as promised, even though he was as calm as he was, he couldn't help but cheer. He opened his arms and ran in circles against the wind, as if to Embrace these familiar or unfamiliar friends.

When the bar-headed geese lined up and fell into Grasshopper Lake, it was very much like a flock of geese. There was no panic, no fighting, and the fall was simple and orderly.

Yun Chu likes to watch the bar-headed goose trying hard to stretch its two red maple leaf-like feet forward and slowly fall into the water. Its feet always make a few ripples on the calm lake. Before the ripples spread, the orange-red feet It will enter the water and push away the waves, swallowing all the ripples.

Immediately afterwards, the bar-headed goose's fat belly will touch the water, rush forward for a while, and then float smoothly on the water.

Amidst the cheerful chirping of the geese, more bar-headed geese arrived as promised, and the Grasshopper Lake, which had been as calm as stagnant water just now, immediately became lively.

It’s not just this mountain lake that’s lively, but also the grasslands under the mountain lake.

And Yun Chu is the watershed between these two lively scenes.

One party is joyful with the joy of reaching the end of the journey, while the other party is noisy with incomparable hatred.

The bar-headed geese finally became quiet, but the other side started beating drums!

The war begins.

One group is from the Zhechong Prefecture of Qiuci Town of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty, and the other group is... I can't see clearly, but they are Hu people anyway.

Under normal circumstances, when the Hu people fought with the Tang army, they would adopt guerrilla tactics, sneak attacks, use more to attack the less, and run away if they couldn't defeat them.

Today is different.

I don’t know why these barbarians suddenly became very brave and wanted to fight a positional battle with a group of regular troops from Tang State that were similar in number to them.

Just look at the way the Tang army's battle flags are fluttering, their helmets are bright, their formations are neat, and they begin to advance toward the enemy's messy crowds with giant shields and spears.

Yunchu already knew the final outcome of this war.

Yunchu was almost tired of watching battles of this scale and form. The scenes of the Huihe people's battles in which only God knew the outcome were even more beautiful.

As for the Tang Army's battle, that kind of unchanging victory did not have any sense of expectation for the audience Yun Chu.

Advance - hack to death - throw the sign - advance - hack to death - all the enemies are dead, run away - get the sign - cut off the left ear - string the ears - search for money - return to the camp, this is the standard of the Tang Army The combat process is not interesting at all. The Uighur people are different. They will ride horses and roar towards the enemy. After hacking the enemy to death, they will jump off the horse, cut off the enemy's head and hang it under the horse's neck, and take away the enemy's body. Whatever is useful, then mount the horse, and the human head under the horse's neck will swing around and continue to kill the enemy... until the enemy collapses, or one's own family collapses, and is harvested by others in the same way.

After the Tang army killed the enemy, they would bury the bodies.

The Uighur people are different.

When Yun Chu opened his eyes for the first time in this world, the Huihe people were the servants of the Tang army.

According to my mother, it was only after being beaten seven or eight times by the Tang army, and many tribesmen hacked to death, and even the Khan's head was taken back to Chang'an for exhibition by the Tang people, that the Uighurs were lucky enough to become the servants of the Tang army.

From then on.

As long as the Tang army wants to fight, the Uighur people will definitely help them desperately, and they only want to fight without asking for anything in return. Sometimes, even if it is a backlash, they will take the initiative to help the Tang army fight other, bad, tribes.

They liked this feeling of victory, and even enjoyed it. Although the generals of the Tang Army repeatedly warned them not to hover on horseback and make various beautiful movements during battle, they only needed to hold up their round shields and protect them. Just be good to yourself and let the war horses rush into the enemy's formation and disrupt the enemy's formation.

They still refuse to change despite repeated admonitions, and claim that the Uighurs should be flying on their horses like eagles and falcons in the sky. Otherwise, it is not enough to show the power of the Uighur cavalry.

The number of times the Turks were chopped down was much greater than the number of times they were chopped down by the Turks before, and the number of times the other Tiele tribes were chopped down was also much greater than before.

Since then, the Huihe pastures have become much larger, with many more cattle and sheep, and even more shepherds.

There were many victories, but under the constraints of the Tang army, they could not show off their victories. This had a great impact on the Huihe herdsmen's enthusiasm for watching the battle.

Gradually, everyone paid less attention to the battlefield.

Anyway, the Tang people will always win the final victory. Even if the barbarians can take advantage for a while, more and more ferocious Tang people will come over soon and uproot the guys who just won.

Yunchu scratched his itchy buttocks and focused his attention on the bar-headed goose that had just fallen into the water.

This time, he only appeared near the battlefield because his tribe was going to help the Tang army fight again.

When the Huihe people go to war, they always bring their families with them.

The reason why Yunchu turned his head was because he was now a Uighur and couldn't stand the jokes of his family members.

After a while, the Uighur cavalry will appear, and they will fight for the heads of the barbarians who were chopped to death by the Tang army.

The heads can be taken back to show off, or they can be built into a tower of human heads to scare other Hui tribes, thinking that this group of Uighurs has killed many more enemies.

Although there is always a left ear missing from every head, the Huihe people don't care or dislike it. Anyway, when a human head rots, the ear is the first thing to fall off. It doesn't matter whether it is there or not.

The thunderous sound of horse hooves had already sounded. It should be that the Uighur cavalry hiding somewhere had seen the Tang army's imminent victory, and decisively and bravely launched an attack on the last remnant enemy.

Yunchu didn't want to hear the screams of the Huihe people being whipped by the angry Tang army general, so he took the initiative to cover his ears.

The name of Grasshopper Lake was given by Yunchu. The Uighur people had other names for this lake of 10,000 acres. He didn't like it and didn't want to remember it, so he gave it such an interesting name. It is enough for him to know about the bar-headed geese that come from autumn to spring.

Yunchu was actually a migratory bird, having stayed in the Western Region for thirteen years.

The bar-headed goose is back, and for him, it's a new beginning.

You can eat the green shoots that sprouted quietly under the pasture that was not eaten by cattle and sheep last year.

Yunchu liked those young buds. He pushed aside the grass and pinched the green buds with his hands, and pulled out a grass stem that transitioned from green to light yellow to pure white.

The grass stems are very plump and juicy, and there is still a hint of sweetness with the fragrance of grass in your mouth. However, you cannot bite it with your teeth. Once the grass stems are bitten, it will become bitter and the sweetness will be completely eliminated. Cover it up.

Just after sucking off the sweetness from the grass stem, a big-tailed sheep, more than one meter tall, walked over with graceful steps, snatched the grass stem from Yun Chu's hand, and swallowed it in a few times. .

This is a big-tailed sheep with beautiful black eye sockets, a pair of one and a half feet long spiral horns, and a high nose bridge. Therefore, this is a ram, and it is also Yunchu's favorite one. A sheep.

In this regard, Yunchu is very different from other Uighur boys. Yunchu likes the bravery, sturdyness and strength of rams that can carry things, but the other Uighur boys devote their love to the sheep. The ewe with the plump buttocks and the most enchanting walking posture, because of its huge tail, is the source of fat that the Uighur boy's body craves.

Such ewes are not only liked by teenagers, but also by some adult men, especially when the grassland is covered with snow. Nothing can replace sheep tail oil. After all, when the oil moistens the body in the stomach, , which is also when they are most satisfied.

The legend of the sheep-headed man has been spreading among the tribes for a long time. If a sheep-headed man appears in any tribe, it will not be a good thing for the tribe, because as long as the sheep-headed man appears, the sheep in the tribe will They will die in groups, the pastures will die piece by piece, and even the water sources will dry up, and there will no longer be clear water.

In the Huihe people's perception, sheep that are too fat and beautiful will eventually turn into sheep-headed people.

This legend put so much pressure on the tribe that the more beautiful and plump the ewes in the tribe were, the faster they died.

The Yunchu family's big-tailed sheep are the most famous lambing ewes in the entire tribe. Only their ewes have the graceful body shape to give birth to qualified lambs, as well as rich lambing experience!

Therefore, when he herds sheep, he is different from the way other teenagers herd sheep. Others herd sheep to guard against wolves and lynxes, but when he herds sheep, he has to guard against those teenagers in the tribe who covet his sheep!

Really, as long as he dares to take a nap while herding sheep, their sheep will be reduced by one or two... Therefore, when he is herding sheep, his eyes are always wide open.

However, the Uighur people claim to be the fastest, bravest, most powerful, and wildest horse-headed heroes on earth. In this magical land, God knows whether there will be sheep-headed people in such an environment.

If Yunchu's ewe turns into a terrifying sheep-headed man and her reputation is ruined, his mother will no longer be able to exchange her own high-quality lambs for other people's big fat sheep.

If the Uighur boys made Yunchu stay away, then the Uighur girls left Yunchu with an even worse feeling.
