"Last year, we captured herds of cattle and sheep right here, right?"
As the sun sets to the west, the Great Wall in the distance is bathed in the sunset, stretching its long body comfortably.`
Bu Qun and the other two leading captains nodded with emotion. It was less than a year, but the previous war seemed to have passed a long time ago.
The Turks did not go in and out of the Great Wall border as they imagined, burning the flames of war to the south.
This year has been surprisingly peaceful. Fighting in other places is in full swing and rumors are flying all over the sky, but Heng'an Town... Several captains have a somewhat proud look on their faces when they think of the situation in Heng'an Town.
The entire army of Heng'an Town, as well as the people in Yunnei, lived in peace.
A strong man in Yun Nei is willing to die for Li Ding'an, the general of Heng'an Town.
The soldiers of Heng'an Town are well fed and full of morale, and they are also willing to decorate their military uniforms with military exploits.
It can be said that in more than a year, under the leadership of the two generals, Hengan Town has been completely transformed. It is no longer the Hengan Town army that was hastily assembled and pieced together with mixed origins last year.
Because all the family members are in Yunnei, and they have experienced several fierce battles, the sense of belonging among the people in Hengan Town is unmatched by the general military.
This year the general led his troops out again. Although they were still facing the powerful Turks, the officers leading the troops were eager to try. They no longer had the anxiety they had when fighting last year.
Bu Qun is the best at flattering. Although he patted the horse's legs many times, he still can't change this problem.
"General, the cattle and sheep we bring back this year must be more than last year. If not, we will go to Dali City with the general to wash away the Turkic sweat account, tsk tsk..."
The other two captains moved their steps, trying to stay away from this guy who was talking nonsense.
Li Po used to be good at treating this kind of inconspicuous guy, "You are right, we rush into the Yunzhong Grassland like this, it always feels a bit dangerous. 'You have reminded me, why don't I let you out and lead the troops?
Make a circle around the city of Dali and let the Turks disperse their forces."
"What the general said is true. General Bu is brave and good at fighting. Maybe he can really attack the city of Dali and wash away the Turks' accounts."
"If General Bu brings back the great gate of the Turkic Khan, it will be a great achievement."
Bu Qun bared his teeth and glared at his two colleagues. He asked a little worriedly, "General, you won't really send me to Dingxiang County, will you?"
Li Po snorted and waved his hand, "The joke is over, let's get down to business. I understand how we should go out this time and what everyone should do."
"Yu Chigong, Bu Qun."
Yuchi and Bu Qun were both stunned and looked at each other.
Bu Qun felt that Yuchi had been promoted all the way up, relying on one thing and another, but he didn't have much ability and was not worthy of being ranked with him.
Yuchi felt that Bu Qun was a man who flattered his superiors and bullied his subordinates, so he could not be considered a hero, he was just a bit senior.
The two of them accidentally looked away and knocked on their chests, "The end will be here."
Li Po ordered, "You two each take a thousand people. After leaving the fortress, go northeast. We have already explored it before. Within fifty miles, there is a tribe of more than a thousand people. There are many cattle and sheep, and there are seven or eight people around.
This is a small affiliated tribe, remember, follow the scouts and don’t let anyone go along the way.”
"Li Wu, Chen San."
"The end will be here."
"You each lead a thousand men to the north. If you encounter enemies along the way, just kill them. You and the other two thousand people must not be more than thirty miles apart from each other. Don't go too fast. You two have to intercept them from the east.
Someone who fled to Dingxiang County to report the news."
"I will take five hundred people and then wander around the edge of Dingxiang County. If there is any movement in the direction of the Turkic Khan's account, I will send someone to inform you. Once the police are there, you will immediately give up the capture and return to the south."
"Don't worry too much. The Turks don't have much defense. Let's go back quickly. We can drink comfortably in Yunnei City in August."
"Well, I also want to mention that this time we go out not only to bring back some cattle and sheep, but also to capture some Turks. The men and women who put down their swords and guns must be brought back to Yunnei. By the way, it would be better if there were fewer horses.
If it’s less, we have too many war horses in Heng’an Town, and we can barely keep them alive.”
Several captains laughed loudly. War horses were originally a good thing, but they were almost a disaster here in Heng'an Town. They might have sent them to Mayi before, and they might be able to exchange them for some food or weapons.
But now, Liu Wuzhou of Mayi is very useless, and Wang Taishou is also staring at the granary. Sending war horses to Mayi City is really like a meat bun beating a dog, and people may say you are a fool, why bother?
?
Chen San was ignorant and asked blankly, "General, are you saying you want to bring back some slaves?"
Li Po glanced at Chen San with a smile, and immediately made Chen San shrink back. He had been with this person for a long time, and some of his habits were also visible to others. When you smile like this, you must have said the wrong thing or done something wrong.
Let him remember the wrong thing.
"What kind of slaves are not slaves? It's really ugly. Turks are also human beings. Maybe they will stay here because we are doing well here. How about giving each of you a Turk wife? Well, Saburo has to
With two more, look at his body, one is not enough."
The man immediately started laughing again, his laughter sounded so obscene.
At this time, someone else jumped out to ruin the harmonious atmosphere, "Turkic women like brave warriors the most. If you fight well, I will find a noble woman to be your wife."
Obviously, these words came from the Turkic princess with red eyes. No one can speak Chinese so awkwardly.
The group of men fell silent immediately. They laughed secretly and felt warm in their hearts. It would be great if they could marry a Turkic noble woman as their mother-in-law. You see, the generals and masters are taking the lead. How can you guys do that?
Falling behind? Of course, there is no need to count on the main wife.
Li Po smacked his lips and waved his hand, "Let's all disperse. We will camp here for one night and leave tomorrow."
Everyone dispersed in a hurry, and Li Po turned back to look at his red eyes.
His red eyes were very innocent, "Did I say something wrong?"
Li Po rubbed his temples and said in his heart, none of you are right, but I was wrong.
Then he looked serious and said in a heavy tone: "They are all generals in the army. When I talk to them in the future, you should stop interrupting, okay?"
The red-eyed girl pursed her lips and moved closer to him. Her tall figure and fierce temperament made it impossible for her to look pitiful. No matter how Li Po looked at her, she looked like a head in sheep's clothing.
wolf.
"I know that they all obey your orders. A woman's words will make them doubt your authority, but a suitable reward will make them fight to the death for you. Which one of them do you value most? I can let my relatives marry him
, marriage is the most reliable guarantee of maintaining loyalty."
Li Po nodded repeatedly, his red eyes becoming less and less visible, and he had begun to get into the role.
It was probably that Li Bi had nothing to do with her, so she threw her to him again and let him take care of it. Damn, let him take care of it. What the hell else could he do?
Li Po thought for a while, "You are also very brave. I heard that you are the Shiboluo who was personally consecrated by the Khan of Western Turks. Don't you want to lead troops when you come out this time? You are always following me, but you can't show off.
It’s up to you.”
Ashnarong's real eyes curled up again, and even the burgundy pupils expanded a lot. He was obviously very happy.
"As I said, I won't let anyone hurt my husband. When you get to the grassland, I will protect you from arrows and scimitars. As long as I am around, the enemy will not appear in front of your horse."
Li Po chuckled. These words sounded pleasant to his ears. He raised his hand and touched his head with red eyes. Well, it was a bit high and not comfortable.
At this moment, the red eyes were no longer visible, and his eyes were squinted into a straight line. He tilted his head, and it happened to rest on Li Po's shoulder.
There is nothing good about men, and Li Po now felt that he was not too far away from the beautiful life of three wives and four concubines.
Immediately, he began to satisfy his curiosity, "We only exchanged a few words when we met? Why are you thinking about marrying me?"
"Only you... think my eyes are special..."
This reason is so powerful that it makes Li Po completely confused. Moreover, did I mention that her eyes are special? No, right?
"They all said that I was cursed by the devil to have such eyes. When my mother gave birth to me, she wanted to kill me... Even the teacher didn't like my eyes, but he never said
Just coming out..."
"Only you...my husband, when he saw me, was full of surprises. You like that I have such a pair of eyes, don't you?"
So that’s what happened. Is this the welfare of the unbelievers?
This night, Li Po slept very soundly. This was not only because the battle was imminent and he needed a good sleep to replenish his energy, but also because he had a loyal guard beside him, who was more reliable than Yan Lu, Yuan Muye and others.
There are too many spectrums.
The next day, the army marched out of camp.
Four thousand cavalrymen crossed the Great Wall in a leisurely manner and entered the Yunzhong Grassland.
In fact, until this time, the Turks had just calculated the casualties of last year's war.
Such efficiency cannot be said to be incompetent on the part of the Turks. It can only be said that this is the inherent stubborn disease of the grassland tribes. The quarrels in the Turks' sweat accounts echoed over the city of Dali.
Shibi Khan also quickly lost interest in the Jin region of the Sui Dynasty, and his ambitious eyes turned to the southwest.
The people there are eager to get the support of the Turkic Khanate, and the Turkic nobles who have suffered heavy losses have no intention of launching any offensive this year.
Therefore, the methods used by the Sui people in the past became the weapons of Shibi Khan.
When more than 4,000 Heng'an Town cavalry rushed into the Yunzhong Grassland, the Turkic envoys were leaving Dingxiang County one after another and heading to various places in the northwest of the Sui Dynasty to respond to those who needed help from the Turkic Khanate.
