Chapter 8 Pegasus Ranch (This chapter is free)

The convoy moved forward all the way and entered a narrow valley the next day. The mountains on both sides were steep, with only one passage at the bottom of the valley. This canyon had a loud name, one line, and it means that the sky opened and one line.

The first-line Tiangu Road was dug by hand and could accommodate eight horses running along the way. The roadbed was smooth with gravel and a thick layer of loess was paved on it, which was no worse than the official road outside.

The carriage walked on it steadily and comfortably. The group walked along the valley for about half an hour, and the canyon gradually widened. From a distance, a pass was stuck between the two mountains, blocking the entire canyon tightly.

A sound of horse hooves came out, and a group of people rushed out of the pass. The soldiers were neatly armored and disciplined, and they were clearly trained at first glance.

These soldiers came to the old man's carriage, rolled off the horse, knelt on one knee, saluted in unison, and said, "I am late to welcome the general, please punish me." The voice was neat and bright, like a thunderclap in the dry weather. In addition, the echo in the valley was extremely loud and the "buzzing" sounded, which scared Huangfu Jian next to him.

"Get up! Come and pay homage to the young master." The old man looked at the soldiers in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand.

"Welcome to the young master!" The soldiers yelled in unison again.

The roar was so loud that it was not afraid of shaking the ears of their young master.

Huangfu Jian remained silent, but stood up straight and habitually responded to a military salute in his previous life. The whole process was very natural. The old man Huangfu Gui was a little more curious when he saw this. If an ordinary child saw such an orderly armed and murderous soldier, he would be a little timid. How could he still maintain such calmness? It seemed like he had practiced it.

The old man's eyes, which had been through vicissitudes, emitted strange brilliance. He was more proud of Huangfu Jian and had higher expectations for him.

In a moment, the convoy arrived in front of the pass. The entire pass was built against the mountain, just stuck between the two mountains in the north and south. The city wall was five meters high, five meters wide at the bottom and three meters wide at the top. It was all made of hard stones. A three meters high city gate tower was built above the city gate, which was high and extremely majestic.

The city gate tower contains four golden gold-toned words "Peak Horse Ranch".

At both ends of the main city, two sections of auxiliary walls are built according to the mountain. There is also a tower on each of the auxiliary walls, which corresponds to the main building and is connected into one.

The entire pass is natural, and one man should be the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it!

Not far ahead after passing the pass, a vast grassland appeared in front of everyone, and everyone suddenly felt a bright light. In midsummer, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the grass is long and the birds are flying, and all kinds of wild flowers are blooming, and groups of horses can be seen from time to time. It is so beautiful.

"So beautiful!" Jieyou, who was following Huangfu Jian, also forgot the previous suffering, as if he had returned to the Wusun Prairie. He couldn't help but exclaim, swaying his long skirt lightly, dancing gracefully.

As soon as Princess Jieyou appeared here, she attracted a large group of bees and butterflies. The bees buzzed and the butterflies danced wildly, and the entire grassland became more and more agile.

Huangfu Jian looked at the grassland that was invisible in front of him, and was very surprised, so he asked, "Grandpa, what is this place? Will we live here in the future?"

When Mr. Huangfu Gui saw that he looked surprised on his grandson's face, he immediately became interested and talked more.

"Jian'er, the canyon we just walked through is called Yishitian. This valley is called Boluogu. It was discovered by my grandfather when he was fighting with the Qiang people. That time, my grandfather ambushed three thousand iron cavalry here. The Qiang people never dreamed that an iron cavalry would suddenly appear behind their butts, and were attacked by my grandfather, and they were beaten to the point of falling flowers and flowing water."

The old man laughed happily, and everything about yesterday seemed to be right in front of him!

"Jian'er, do you know that this is the best place in Liangzhou! Look, it is surrounded by mountains and only a line of sky canyons that are connected to the outside world, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The valley is even more fertile and rich in water. It is a natural and excellent pasture that can be fully self-sufficient. More importantly, it is quite hidden and a good place to live happily!"

"This is also the biggest gift grandpa gives you!" The old man said meaningfully at the end.

The old man boasted to Huangfu Jian with a romance, and ordered the commander to the soldiers, "Transfer the orders of this general, and the people in the valley lined up to welcome the young master."

"No!" The messenger responded and left.

After walking for a long time, a military camp appeared in the distance. These camps were built in a giant valley with a high terrain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a small river in front of them. Because the river flows all year round, people in the pasture call it Xihe.

There are nine floating bridges on the surface of the Xihe River, which lead to nine military camps. The military camps are built according to the nine palaces and eight villages on the periphery, and the eight camps on the outside are built, living, hurting, Du, Jing, dead, shocked, and opened, and are built in the eight trigrams.

A giant camp in the middle is the main camp of the Central Army where Huangfu Gui lives. The camp faces north and south, with its back against the majestic main peak of the foothills of Jitou Mountain.

At this time, the village gates were all open, and the eight thousand children in the valley were lined up in front of their respective floating bridges, forming nine neatly shaped formations.

The middle square formation is an 800 well-equipped elite cavalry. These eight hundred elite cavalry ride on the green Hexi horse, wearing black iron helmets, and shiny black fish scale armor. In their hands, they hold a standard spear that only elite cavalry can equipped by the elite cavalry of the man. The spear is 15 feet long, with a wooden pole and a long handle, and the tip of the fine iron spear. The waist is hung with a four-foot ring-headed battle knife, and the sides of the saddle are hung with bows and arrows, majestic and murderous intent.

On the left side of the Eight Hundred Elfskies are five hundred sword shield hands. They are wearing heavy iron armor, masks and iron helmets, left-hand shields and right-hand swords. They are tall and murderous, standing there like a group of metal monsters, thick and steady, giving people a heavy pressure.

On the right side of the Eight Hundred Elfs and Elfs are five hundred crossbowmen, among them there are four hundred crossbowmen, and the top 100 archers. Each strong crossbowmen is equipped with a six-stone crossbow, and each strong archer is a refined strong bow. The crossbowmen has the strength to open a six-stone crossbow on the back, and the strong archer is even one of the magic archers who can pass through a hundred steps. In addition to being equipped with two pots of feather arrows, the crossbowmen only has a waist knife for melee combat.

These 1,800 people are all armed forces in the Pegasus Ranch. The swords, shields and crossbowmen are responsible for daily ranch guards, while the 800 elite cavalry serve as field forces in the ranch and are usually stationed in the central army camp.

The other six square formations were dressed like ordinary people. They usually grazed and farmed on the ranch. The eight thousand children of the Pegasus Ranch were all loyal and brave soldiers and family members who had been fighting for a long time with Huangfu Gui. Because they could not bear to leave the old general, they came here early after the old man decided to retire.

The sound of war drums started, and the sound of "dongdong" was low and heroic, stirring the earth. Eight hundred elite cavalry was in a consistent pace and galloped out to welcome Huangfu Gui's carriage. When there was still an arrow from Huangfu Gui's carriage, the sound of the drums started again. Eight hundred elite cavalry suddenly stopped in an emergency, stopping one hundred and fifty steps from Huangfu Jian's carriage.

The moment he stopped, the eight hundred cavalry were in an orderly manner, turned over and fell off the horse, knelt on one knee, and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the general, welcome the young master. Welcome to the general, welcome the young master. Welcome to the young master. Welcome to the general, welcome to the young master."

The roar was loud and endless, echoing on the grassland. The eight hundred elite cavalry were magnificent. Every roar would stir up a murderous aura and soar into the sky.

The old general Huangfu Gui slowly walked down from the carriage with Huangfu Jian's little hand, and Princess Jieyou followed obediently with the lightning mink. The old man looked ahead, and his right hand made a downward stance, and the shouting stopped abruptly.

"This is my grandson Huangfu Jian, and it is also your young master. From now on, his words will be my husband's words, and his order will be my husband's order. You should respect the young master as much as you respect the old man, and protect the young master as you protect the old man!"

"We swear to protect the young master to the death!"

"Ha! Ha! Get up and follow me back to the camp." The old man looked at everyone in front of him, as if he was returning to the battlefield in the past, feeling very good, laughing loudly, and his heroic feelings were better for his words.

Huangfu Jian arrived at the Pegasus Ranch and started a new life. He and Princess Jieyou lived in the inner camp of Dazhai. There were only old men, counselor Zhao Qi and some entourages in the inner camp, and Hua Xiong led two hundred personal guards to guard, and this was the core of the entire ranch.

After settled down, Huangfu Gui put aside all mundane affairs and focused on teaching Huangfu Jian's studies. The old man knew that his body was not as good as before, and he probably had not had much time, so he had to teach his life to his beloved grandson for the rest of his life.
