The sun always shines on the grassland, just like a drought will come. When Ye Tan went out early in the morning, there were almost no one around him except the Zhuyewei of the Ye family. Zhuyewei was a group similar to assassination that Ye Tan hurriedly created in the Songzhou Army and outside. He scared the King of the foot of the mountain at that time, but later he disbanded these people and started editing and sorting them out again.

Now, it is completely different. At the beginning, many of the three thousand people were for money, but now they no longer have that consideration.

The eighteen cavalry of Yanyun and Ye Tan trained them. These people were Ye Tan, the personal guard who was both the governor of Songzhou and the highest sergeant in Songzhou. Even the salary received by these people came from Yejia Village.

There are only 600 people in Zhuyewei now, and those good things from the past are not accessible to anyone.

They are always wearing green clothes, a little yellow. If they are on the grassland, as long as it is not snowing in winter, you will not be able to see clearly. The weapons of these people are a bit similar to those of Prince Liusu, but they are different. The military sects have been polished and cannot see clearly at all. Moreover, the armor on their bodies is also very light in color. Anyway, these people are too different, and they are completely different from what people said before that they cannot do special situations.

No one knew why, but when Ye Tan brought these people to the Songzhou Military Camp, the soldiers who were usually unruly shut up.

When Ye Tan climbed to the throne, a solemn aura filled the entire battlefield. Everyone looked at Ye Tan, and the metal weapons in their hands made them understand the meaning of their existence.

"Everyone is here. Today I'm here for one purpose. I wonder if you have the courage to go out with me to see you. I heard that the territory that came to surrender to our Dangxiang was violated. How could this happen in my great Tang Dynasty? Although these people are not from my Tang Dynasty, in order to let other states of the Tang Dynasty see the employment and determination of my Tang Dynasty's people, this time, we will go out to help. Everyone should remember that we are the army of the Tang Dynasty, and the loyal people are His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, no one is allowed to embarrass me when going out this time. If anyone dares to embarrass me in this matter, don't blame me for being ruthless. The national law is ruthless and the military law is even more ruthless. We must use the unique way of the Tang Dynasty to shame the other party. Finally, listen to us honestly. Can you do it?"

After Ye Tan's words, Zhu Yewei, who was under his command, expressed his lack of understanding, while Kong Dade curled his lips, "Who are you fooling me?" You are so low-key, why did you call all the merchants in Songzhou to talk about them? Except for seven days of food, each soldier didn't bring anything left, and there were only some strange things, such as equipment.

These things of him are not like behaviors and methods that are intended to be seen by others. However, he is not good at it. When Ye Tan went to war in person, he needed to stay at home.

"It can be done." In recent months, the army has not only gone out to train and fight with some local natives. It is not very dangerous, but there are not many benefits. However, after Ye Tan became the governor of Songzhou, he formulated a reward and punishment system different from other places. In addition to some stipulated by the court, there is also the so-called collective distribution system. That is, if you steal things, you cannot keep them privately. You must hand them over to the public. Then you will distribute them according to your performance. Some small teams went out to perform some tasks, mainly scouts. As a result, after returning, the money, noodles, meat and other items obtained made other soldiers drool.

Although the Tang Dynasty regards military merit as its first honor, it does not mean that someone is really willing to join the army. In many cases, joining the army is a helplessness, and Ye Tan plans to elevate this helplessness to a state of survival that is not good. This requires strong economic strength to support it. If you have no money, just talking about this is a big deal.

The endless stream of good things in Songzhou and the slowly built sales and production channels make the price of their products not high in the local area, but except for Songzhou, even in Yizhou and other places, they are very expensive and not easy to buy.

"That's good, in a while, the army is divided into four parts. Except for General Rui Deng, General Qin Qiong and General Li Kuafu, one team led by one. The remaining guards are the first of my military orders, and I have the final say. Anyone who dares to disobey will not be beheaded. But you will leave Songzhou's life welfare system, and your family will do the same. So, don't blame me for not notifying you. If you want to ask for love in the future, it will not work. Am I right? The crown prince?"

When Ye Tan said this, he saw that he had not fully implemented his orders in Qinzhou last time and was almost exiled. He grew up a lot of people now. He is now a member of the Zhuye Guard. Although he is only a small leader, Zhuye Guard has only six centurions and sixty small leaders.

After several months of influence, the tender scout before became a man as black as carbon. When he heard Ye Tan's words, he knocked on his armor with one hand, "I understand."

"That's good, go." After Ye Tan said that, he put on white clothes, a green bamboo in his hand, and an ordinary horse under his crotch, entered the center of the army.

Because Ye Tan is the commander, he is naturally in the middle, with troops in the front, back, left and right. Fortunately, the central avenue in Songzhou is very spacious, otherwise it would be difficult to walk.

There were countless people visiting along the way, which was the first battle of the Tang Dynasty Songzhou after Ye Tan became the boss. If a problem arises, it will not be easy for Ye Tan to recover such a defeat in the future. How to calm the people's hearts and how to make everyone understand Ye Tan's ability is the most important thing, and nothing else is important, so the speed he demands is slow and safe.

After all the troops left Songzhou City, Kong Dade said to the people around him, "Mr. Governor went to war, you must take good care of your family and ask for looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside. Anyone who dares to spread rumors that are not conducive to Songzhou in the Tang Dynasty, you have the right to take action first and then report."

Seeing Kong Dade, who usually likes to read moral articles with books, his face was very gloomy at this time. Ye San and others who stayed at home nodded to show that they understood that sometimes, when they go out to fight wolves, they must have the ability to keep the house in good condition.

"Hmph, this time, don't blame me for being cruel." The Kong family's education is still very good. Although Confucius, who is 1.9 meters tall, is actually a versatile talent in civil and military affairs, people prefer to believe in the literary affairs of his ancestors rather than military affairs.

When the army left, the city of Songzhou suddenly became much quieter. Those guys who usually smiled gentlely began to be hostile to some Tubo people who were still in Songzhou City. These people also felt tired. I have lived in Songzhou for so many years, and now such a thing has happened. Don’t you feel tired?

But they had no choice but to stay honestly, because it seemed that all Songzhou was staring at them.

After the army, there were some big carts followed, which just made people feel strange. These people were not civil servants, but some merchants. These people didn’t have much fear on their faces, but they became a little more happy. Since ancient times, there was a word called strange goods, but the current emperor is Li Shimin. Try it, who dares to do this? So it became another word, which is to destroy the country. However, these merchants didn’t understand very well, but the Sang family and the Yu family were very happy to get involved. Even the Cheng family, the Qin family and the Wei family felt that such things were risky, but they felt that there was nothing, and the areas without risk were stepped on by people. Now it is not the one or two years before the founding of the country. As long as you have a powerful character in your family, you will raise your family’s business and feel very comfortable at that time.

Compared with the family connections between the Qin family and others, the Sang family and the Yu family are more optimistic. Sang Shang, the head of the Sang family, is a very ambitious grassroots, while the head of the Yu family is just a young man in his forties. Perhaps in the eyes of others, these people are not allowed to go to the table, but in Ye Tan's eyes, they are all full and full. They usually spend money very much, and when making money, they start to take Confucius' words as their motto. But why don't you think so when you spend money?

It is unfair to have a group of hard-working people in the end to be despised.

So, when Sang Shang from the Sang family and Yu Haotian from the Yu family were talking about how to eat cattle and sheep in Songzhou, several housekeepers of the Cheng family leaned behind and fell asleep, as if they were very tired. They just trembled their ears from time to time and told others that they were really worried.

In the grassland in May, birds and grass are growing, and flowers are blooming. When the sun is shining, you can also see wild chickens and hares running around. At the same time, you will see some wild wolves or flocks of sheep from time to time. From their appearance, you can see that these things are wild.

When the army was walking, Ye Tan's horse almost didn't keep up because his horse was really not a good thing. He left all the good horses in Yejia Village to the people in the city, and it didn't matter whether he wanted a horse or not. However, he didn't expect that his horse was really not good.

The quiet along the way seemed to be waiting for something, but Ye Tan's eyes were full of curiosity, because he had been here in his previous life. At that time, there were green grass and yurts everywhere. Everyone came here to eat mutton, ride horses, and see the magnificence of the prairie. But now what he saw was very desolate everywhere. Although the grass grew up and he did not have to worry about horse feed, he would always see a large area of ​​dead grass when he passed a distance. Such a place was called the dead land in Dangxiang.

Dangxiang had no impression in his impression, except for Li Yuanhao, the great man who was killed by his son in order to occupy his daughter-in-law. If this person could control his desires later, he would be considered a hero of a generation. Unfortunately, he worked hard for many years in the end, which was a pity.

But along the way, he did not see any of the Dangxiang tribe members, which was strange.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, eight tribes including the Xifeng clan, Fei Ting clan, Qianli clan, Pochao clan, Yeli clan, Miqin clan, and Tuoba clan. In addition, there were tribes such as Heidangxiang and Xueshan Dangxiang. Among them, the Tuoba clan was the most powerful.

Many of these tribes were later moved inward, and many of the heads became governors. Although that was a historical event, it can be seen now that this time the Tubo people went south would not be a good thing for them.

After Ye Tan's governance appeared in Songzhou, the Dangxiang people were just bullied by people under the snow-capped mountains. Although they also had an army, in Ye Tan's opinion, they were just poor people fighting, and there was nothing worth thinking about, except for their own grassland.

What Tubo wants is this place. People plant barley just to relieve their diet, which does not mean that people like grazing people will be careful of these things.

When we set up camp in the afternoon, we found some signs of messy tribes. The Tubo people now should still be on the edge of the Dangxiang territory, but none of the Dangxiang tribesmen who really made the decision were like loose sand, and began to run around.

After Ye Tan took a few bites with his rice bowl, a subordinate came over to tell him that he had caught a spy.

Put down the bowl and send it to someone to see. This man is really dirty and his hairstyle is not right. Anyway, it is not the hairstyle of the minority that Ye Tan thinks. Maybe it is because the bald decree has not been issued yet. This man is very strong. Although there is a black panda eye on his eyes, he must have been beaten by the person below, but he stares at Ye Tan with bad eyes and a little hostile.

"Which tribe is called?" Ye Tan hated others to disturb others the most when eating, so it was very simple and direct to ask questions.

The man was about to blink his eyes when he heard Ye Tan's words, "I dare to lie, so I just pulled it out and chopped it."

"Xifeng clan, Bu Lai." Ye Tan was stunned. He did not expect that this person would lead his tribe to surrender to the Xifeng clan in the Tang Dynasty two years later. It was not simple, but now he looks like a young man.

"So it's you, why do you come to me if you have something to do?" Ye Tan seemed to see an acquaintance, which made Xifeng Bulai stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why he was recognized. However, he didn't care about these things now and could only answer honestly, "Tang Dynasty angel, my Xifeng family is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. I also asked the angels to help."

Looking at him, you know that this kid should have a familiar Han friend, otherwise, he would not have been like this.

"Do you have friends from Han people you know?" Ye Tan's words made him stunned for a moment, and then asked, "How do you know? Little baby, where are your adults?"

"Bold, this is my governor of Songzhou, Lord Ye." The crown prince who had just beaten him said coldly, making him stunned again. A little baby became a high-ranking official, which was incredible, but what he was eating seemed to be delicious. Thinking of this, his stomach roared.

"Want to eat?" Ye Tan looked at his bowl. Although he had improved a lot of military rations, it was serious that the taste was average. Although he was a general, he really didn't like the taste very much.

"Well, I haven't had dinner in several days." The fief of Xifeng clan is in the northwest direction of the entire Dangxiang area. It seems that he has met Tubo people.

"Then I'll give it to you after you finish your intention." Ye Tan actually wanted to give it to him directly, but he couldn't do this and could only tempt him.

"Our leader asked me to come. Since the monkeys from Tubo came down three days ago, they robbed our tribe, killed many people, and robbed many cattle and sheep. When the leader was injured, they asked me to come over to find someone to help. But those Fei Tingshi are cowards, little foxes, when they heard that the Tubo people came, they ran away with cattle and sheep, wuwu..."

As the big man talked, he actually started to cry, which made everyone around him look at each other, right?

"Okay, okay, go wash your face, and eat your fill, and lead us the way. My Tang Dynasty soldiers will definitely help you." After Ye Tan said that, he put down his bowl, turned around and went to the carriage behind him, and then knocked on something like a dustpan several times. Soon, several generals came.

The crown prince pulled the man named Xifeng Bulai and was about to go out. As soon as he left the tent, he took him to wash his face. As a result, he was not very happy. Just as he was about to resist, he saw the crown prince's fists shaking and nodded quickly. This kid looked like he was about the same age as him, so he was too violent.

When three basins of dirty water were poured out, the crown prince's face changed. How dirty this person was, but Xifeng Bulai sneezes a few times. It was too clean and he couldn't smell the familiar smell. However, when a wooden basin was handed to him, he was about to get started, but the crown prince stopped him and said, "If you eat this way, you will be confiscated, at least you have to use a spoon."

Unfortunately, this person's mouth was too big, and an ordinary spoon was useless. In the end, he could only use a horse spoon, but he ended up eating so tragically.

Ye Tan and Rui Deng looked at each other with a deep expression. Qin Qiong didn't care much about these things. He was a brave general, not a Confucian general, so he thought less about this aspect, while Rui Deng thought more. After hearing Ye Tan's words, his face changed, "What do you mean is that Lu Dongzan's idea this time is not to come to demonstrate simply, but to expand the land to the border of our Tang Dynasty next time?"

"Yes, that's what I think, otherwise, I wouldn't have killed all the Dangxiang people here. Because doing so is actually a special benefit, unless they didn't care much about this matter." Ye Tan had thought a lot, maybe it was for robbing cattle and sheep, but just saw Xi Feng Bulai's footsteps and his horses reported to him later, he knew that this time it was really here.

I thought it was a matter of playing, but it suddenly became like this. Everyone stared at Ye Tan, hoping that he would give him an idea as soon as possible. Sometimes, people's hearts are so loose.

People who came down on the snow-capped mountains were generally more powerful and wild, but they forgot that the Tang Dynasty had just been established.

The battle between the lion and the tiger is about to begin on this barren Dangxiang grassland.

"Come, prepare for the war."
