His name is Li Po, and his nickname is Xue Nu.
This was the name given to him by several veteran soldiers in the village, and his surname also came from the military leader Li Chengshun. The name implies breaking and then standing, which means good things come true.
As for what his last name was before, no one bothered to investigate, not even himself.
His origin is very strange, and only he himself knows it, but it has become the deepest secret in his heart, and I am afraid that he will never take the initiative to tell others about it in his life.
There were three veterans in the stockade. One winter in the first year of Daye, they "picked him up" and brought him back to the stockade while they were out hunting.
Five years have passed, and there were only four people left in the military camp where more than a dozen people were stationed at the beginning, three old soldiers and a young man of unknown origin who also suffered from the disease of losing his soul.
Over the past five years, the boy has gradually grown up. Under the guidance of three veteran soldiers, he has completely integrated into this frontier life where there is no tomorrow but today.
The military village was under the jurisdiction of the Yunzhong Shouchuo Mansion. As for the military status, no matter how hard the military leader tried, he could not give the young man a decent background.
In fact, after two years of great cause, the general manager of Bingzhou, Han Wang Yang Liang, conspired to rebel. Even the so-called Yunzhong Shouchuo Mansion was not clear about its organization and who its generals were.
They were conscripted here to detect the presence of the enemy. The enemy was of course the Turkic Khanate in the north. In fact, in the eyes of the young man, this military stronghold was the outpost of the Great Wall. Once the Turks invaded in large numbers, Mao Yong would not care.
Everyone just washes their necks and waits for death.
Well, it can light a beacon fire to give the defenders of the Great Wall a defense. Maybe this is its only value of existence.
But now, the Turkic Qimin Khan is very respectful to the Great Sui Dynasty, and I heard that he also wants to clean the courtyard for the Tian Khan, so the border between the two countries has been in truce for many years.
This military stronghold is almost in ruins.
Others returned south one after another. Before the arrival of military orders, the behavior of these people abandoning the stronghold was almost equivalent to deserting.
However, it is impossible to say what will happen to them. In the final analysis, no one can tell whether this village is still part of the Sui army's establishment.
Just like the military leader Li Chengshun, every time he went to the southern garrison, he couldn't find a way to get there, and there wasn't even anyone willing to talk to him about food or food.
Without a Shangguan, no one wants to take care of you, leaving you to fend for yourself. This is the situation in this military camp.
Moreover, it's not that the three veterans are nostalgic and don't want to leave, but that the three of them are sworn brothers. They have been friends for decades and swear to live and die together.
The second child had been bedridden for several years due to illness and was unable to walk, so the other two people gave up on going south and returned to their hometown, and stayed in the military camp with the second child.
This stay really fulfilled their vows.
Speaking of which, Junzhai has been keeping aloof from the rest of the world in recent years, and no one is willing to come here to cause trouble for them.
But in the third year of Daye's reign, he made a royal tour to the north.
Hundreds of thousands of troops trekked northward, with great majesty, and finally stationed in Yulin. The Turkic Qimin Khan led the dignitaries from all the grassland tribes to worship at the foot of the steps, as if they were slaves, and they were extremely respectful.
This kind of momentum is unparalleled by emperors throughout the ages.
But the complacent Emperor will not pay attention to how much manpower and material resources were spent on such a trip. In fact, no matter what happened in the Sui Dynasty, just talking about Qimin Khan, he offered countless cattle and sheep to support the Khan of Heaven.
Provide food for the army.
And where do these cattle and sheep come from?
It can be said that the Turkic tribes along the Great Wall have been raided heavily, and many tribes have become hungry in recent years.
Naturally, they did not dare to quarrel with the Turkic tribes, nor did they dare to go south in large numbers to beg for food from the Sui Dynasty like those tyrannical ancestors of the steppes.
Therefore, with red eyes, they began to annex each other and compete for everything worth fighting for.
The military stronghold where Li Po was located also suffered from Chiyu.
In fact, what Li Po didn't know was that in the fifth year of Daye, that is, last year, the Turkic Qimin Khan had died of illness, the Turkic tribes went to mourn, and the grassland tribes also fell into a brief chaos.
After that, the Turks appointed Ashnash Boxin, the eldest son of Qimin Khan, as their great khan, and the title of khan began and ended.
When Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty visited the north, he noticed the Korean envoy beside Qimin Khan, but he never noticed the cold and gloomy gaze behind Qimin Khan.
And the great Khan, who had always felt that his father Khan was too weak towards the Sui people and was deeply ashamed, ascended to the pinnacle of power in the Turkic Khanate, which also meant that the relationship between the two great powers of the north and the south quickly dropped to a freezing point.
The chaos in Yunzhong Grassland was actually largely caused by the indulgence of the new Turkic royal court.
Li Po naturally didn't know this. He was already very familiar with the tribes around Junzhai, but he still couldn't tell where the bastards who attacked Junzhai came from and which tribe they belonged to.
The three veterans persisted, and the opportunity to escape was not worth mentioning in their eyes. This also made Li Po truly realize for the first time that a man's loyalty is not an illusory thing.
Li Po didn't even think about running away. Their lives were picked up. A few veterans could sacrifice their lives for righteousness, but he wouldn't just walk away.
A few old soldiers had treated him like a nephew for several years, and he would repay them with life and death. It was no big deal.
It was the military leader Li Chengshun who kicked him out of the village gate, gave him the strongest old horse in the village, and beat and scolded him to make him run for his life.
But even so, Li Po did not go far, hiding on the side, waiting for an opportunity to reenter the stronghold, killing several people, and then escaped.
He had a strong heart and was already accustomed to life and death. Seeing that all three veterans had died in battle, he no longer had any worries and concentrated on running for his own life.
Now once you enter the mountains and forests, you are like a fish in water, completely completing the transition from prey to hunter.
The trees gradually grew thicker, and the dozen prairie men who had chased into the forest dispersed, searching for traces of the enemy.
But they don't know at this moment how terrifying this Sui army soldier who has been fleeing all the way in the woods will become...
A pursuer who was left behind trudged between the trees, mumbling something.
When passing an old tree, there was no precaution.
A palm suddenly stretched out from behind the tree and covered his lower jaw. The force was so strong that he could even hear the bones of his jaw creaking.
Before he could struggle in panic, the figure hidden behind the tree had already arrived behind him. With a heavy movement of his hands, his neck completed an action that was absolutely impossible in ordinary times, moving from front to back one hundred and eighty times.
degree rotation.
So, he saw the shocked face of the young man behind him, but this was also the last thing he saw in this world...
The young man gently put the body down, like a beast that had successfully attacked, silently and contentedly dragging the prey behind the tree.
At this time, Li Po shook his hand in frustration. He didn't use his skills, and he was indeed unfamiliar.
Even the person who could kill was shocked. This was something that hadn't happened in many years. He couldn't control his strength well, and he was actually a little nervous. Well... that was definitely not nervousness, it should be
Excited, yes, damn excited.
After cautiously looking around, and listening quietly for a while, Li Po sat down again and began to rummage through the corpse.
In the end, to his chagrin, there was only a greasy dagger that was interesting to the eye, and there was nothing else besides a few pieces of smelly dried meat.
As for the scimitars, bows and arrows of these bastards, he threw them aside in disgust. They were rough, heavy, and useless...
A group of poor ghosts, they don't care about showing off their power on the grassland, but they still dare to chase grandpa into the woods. I really don't know how to write the word "death".
