Li Po felt that he had met many strange people, but God kept sending strange people to him.
This swarthy foreign guy is called Gaga, you might as well call him Haha.
Looking at the expressions of those bitter and resentful people, you can tell that they must have suffered a lot, but they are quite smart and know that they are definitely not Turks and are all fakes. It is not easy for them to be able to speak Chinese.
"Do you know where the nearest tribe is?"
"I know, go over there from here and pass by a forest. When you see the sea, there are several tribes. They are fighting and there are many people."
Li Po held up his hat, which was a little too small, and waved his hand, "Send the order, go north. Liu Jing, you are a loser, you are worse than a child. Do you know how far we have been detoured?"
A tall and dark guy muttered, "I joined the army. I haven't been to the north for a few years. It's not easy to know which river is where. No matter how many rivers there are, you can't count on me."
Yeah, I dare others.
Of course, as long as you don't get too close and don't speak, generally speaking, the chance of getting involved is not that great.
And even if he was recognized, it would not be a big deal. The Turks would all go south. It was normal for the Sui army to leave the fortress. Moreover, in the first ten years, this was still the territory of the Sui Dynasty.
The grassland is a lawless land. Once here, for the cavalry, it is like a fish in water, and they can have fun.
This was the first inhabited tribe that Li Po and his men encountered when they came out. The Sui army, which had been riding for two days, was obviously a little too excited. The orders they gave were not carried out thoroughly, and no one was released.
I also picked up a wolf kid. Look at his mouth full of blood. What did he eat?
But I can speak Chinese well enough to be a competent guide.
"Join the army, there are still some women and children left, you see"
This is another guy who has no vision and no heart. He is a new recruit, and it is really a headache.
Li Po glared at him fiercely. "If you don't have a long head, you want me to issue a military order to kill everyone, right?"
"Yes, join the army."
There are unscrupulous people everywhere in the Sui army. They are all tall and thick, but their brains are not very good. One look at the expression shows that they don't understand what Li Po means at all. Li Po sighed, it's over, he said before
Those words seemed to fall on deaf ears to these bastards.
If the people he brought out this time were those who came back from Liaodong, why would he waste so much saliva?
"Send the order and leave no one behind. I'll leave this matter to you." The unfortunate brigade commander walked away in despair.
"Yuan Dalang, why don't you go practice swordsmanship? Just pretend that we didn't ask."
"My sword is meant to cut"
The thunder was rolling, and Li Po wanted to kill him.
Gradually there was no sound in the tribe. Blood and corpses were everywhere. There would be no survivors. This was a standard act of war and could not tolerate too much humanity.
Li Po had understood this a long time ago. But the five hundred Sui soldiers he brought out had to take some time to adapt. At this moment, they seemed to have once again confirmed in their minds the fact that Li Canjun was a demon king.
These are all Mayi soldiers, that is to say, most of them are new soldiers. Because of the truce with the Turks for many years, the veterans who fought with the Turks gradually grew old, and their descendants took over the armor, swords and guns from their fathers.
They are young, fast, tough and brave, and have no shortage of combat skills. After forming an army, they can quickly integrate together. The advantages of the army system are perfectly reflected in them.
But their shortcomings are equally obvious. They lack a cold heart and a tenacious will to fight.
Originally, Li Po suggested that some of the thousand people who returned from Liaodong should be released and become officers and generals of various ministries.
But it was rejected by Li Bi. The Fu soldiers had their own perfect organizational structure and there were many officers and generals. If officers were placed indiscriminately, it would undoubtedly cause the Fu soldiers to be dissatisfied.
Moreover, every army needs an elite force. These one thousand people are the core of the Heng'an Town Army. This core may split, but definitely not now.
In this regard, Li Bi obviously has more say.
"Your name is Gaga, why did you get such a name?"
While camping that night, Li Po casually asked the only survivor of the tribe about their guide. At this time, these Sui soldiers who had seen blood had become a little different like him.
What's the difference? I'm afraid that among so many people, only Li Po could clearly notice the difference. Marching and fighting, fighting and marching, a long and boring process, will make the soldiers mature quickly.
This kind of maturity is not a good thing for a normal person, but it is the best guarantee for soldiers to survive on the battlefield.
Dirty Quack shrank into a ball, the madness had long since faded from him, and what remained was the humbleness and timidity unique to slaves. He was not as courageous as he thought.
"The day I was born, there was a crow cawing, so I was named Gaga." He looked at the new owner, a young and powerful Sui man.
He often looks gentle when he smiles, and is not fierce when he speaks, but Gaga always feels that there seems to be a demon hidden in this Sui man, which makes him instinctively feel fear.
What an unlucky name this is, luckily someone figured it out, Li Po thought boredly.
"From now on, you will be called Li Ya after my last name."
Li Po casually named someone, but his ability to name names was not much better than others.
The exchange between Li Po and Mu Nu ended here. From then on, even if there was another person named Li Ya by his side, he would always call him his master's retinue.
Li Po ignored how excited Mu Nu was to get a formal name. He lay down on the soft grass and looked up at the clear starry sky.
But there was no moment of peace in my heart.
Li Jing, the magistrate of Mayi County, who was also his teacher, conveyed the news to Heng'an Town that the Turks were already heading south, and asked them to send troops to wipe out the tribes scattered on the Yunzhong Grassland to avoid being used by the Turks.
This is a cold and bloody order.
Li Po didn't know what the source of Li Jing's information was, but it couldn't be wrong.
When the Three Expeditions to Liaodong were underway, the Sui Dynasty was already in chaos. As the overlord of the northern grasslands, if the Turkic Khanate did not show any signs, it would be fine. The Turkic people suddenly had a collective convulsion and became extremely kind.
Then it is easy to understand what this military order means.
One is to train troops, one is to kill people, and the other is to detect Turkic movements.
Let's just go north and have a chance encounter with the Turks.
Don't you want to go? I don't know what the Turks look like. I might suffer a loss in future fights.
As for whether he will fight with the Turks in the future, there is no need to ask who the mayor of Mayi County is. He is Li Jing, the bane of the Turks in the future.
I'm still too lazy. I have spent this year thinking about competing with businessmen. It would be great to train a few smarter scouts.
Now we don’t even know where the Turks are. If you keep going north, don’t rush into the arms of the Turks. These fakes probably won’t be as powerful as the fake Monkey King and can almost wipe out the real ones.
Yes, most people will suffer a loss if they encounter Turks.
In the confusion, Li Po fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, there was already a white line in the eastern sky, and the sunrise over the grassland was beautiful.
The soldiers woke up one after another, began to chew dried meat, tidy up the saddles of their horses, and prepared to set off.
Looking at these strong soldiers, Li Po gradually gained some confidence in his heart. He was very lucky that he did not fall into the trap of some later dynasties, relying on two legs to run back and forth on the grassland or in Liaodong. Li Po couldn't help thinking about it.
Feeling terrible.
At this time, he felt that the Sui Dynasty was pretty good. At least it had groups of war horses and a large number of skilled riding warriors. This made the Sui Dynasty's war maneuverability no worse than that of the Turks.
Just like now, they still have some initiative, because he still has room for choice.
The Turks went south and the Sui people went north. It was the most normal thing to bump into each other. However, the Sui people were a bit dirty here. They wore other people's clothes and killed people and set fires. It was too unfair.
In fact, this also clearly shows that the strength and weakness of the Sui Dynasty and the Turks have been completely reversed.
In just a few years, Sui Emperor Yang Guang was able to drag such a powerful empire into the quagmire. It must be said that this emperor was really capable.
In April of the tenth year of Daye, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty led his troops to the north.
The northern frontier counties were all nervously watching what was going on in the north, but there was only one Li Jing who dared to send troops out of the fortress and use offense to defend, hoping to slow down the Turks as much as possible.
As a disciple of Li Jing, what Li Po thought before was that he was not bad at all and was being used like a donkey.
This was also the first time he commanded the cavalry in combat alone, and it was also a relatively important moment in his long military career.
Every wise general will not lack bloodshed and killing in their military career, and Li Po is no exception.
Gaga, which is what Li Ya calls the sea, is actually a large lake surrounded by some swamps. Places like this have always been the focus of competition among grassland tribes. To be continued.
