Chapter 6 Jinse (Part 4) They walked along the banks of the frozen Yellow River, hunting their prey like wolves, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness, as fast as wolves. No one knew where this team came from, and no one could predict it.
Where will this team appear next? It depends on the remaining power of the Sui Dynasty. The Turkic wolf cavalry has not broken through the Great Wall for more than ten years. This group of black armor cavalry suddenly rushed to the bank of the Yellow River. Not to mention what will happen.
Ning, the great and powerful Khan kings of Wuwei were so frightened that they lost their wits and their courage was frightened. Their livers kept trembling and they couldn't even sleep peacefully.
There are rumors that this is retribution, retribution sent by the Immortal God. The Hu and Han ethnic groups on the border have been living in peace for many years. The Han people herd cattle, milk horses, make tea, and plant bricks in the spring like the Han people.
Although the yield of their millet crops is less than half that of the Han crops, the milk tofu, felt, and cowhide in their hands are enough to exchange for food for the whole family from their Han neighbors. When they are happy, the men of the two families will still sit together.
Drinking two bowls together, even though each other couldn't understand what the other said, the smiles on their faces were just as frank. If someone hadn't deliberately provoked them, everyone wouldn't have cared much about who was a Han, who was a Qiang, who was a Party member, and who knew Burke.
We had to recreate the glory of our ancestors, but within three months of the glory, everyone paid a huge price for the glory.
In less than a month, seven tribes were attacked, four of which were defeated, and all the men in the tribe were killed. Three more tribes were more clever, and before the wolf flag appeared near their tribe, they immediately hitched up their LeLe chariots and closed their doors.
After all, the village they lived in was snatched by them, so they wouldn't feel too bad if it was lost again... Otherwise..., recalling the fierceness of the Turkic wolf riders in their memories, the men didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Hosana Khan sent envoys to Tang Gong Li Yuan who was in charge of the 13th County of Guanyou, and at the same time united three stronger tribes to try to give Wolf Cavalry a counterattack. At this juncture, no one could tell whether they were Qiang people or not.
, the party is still Tuyuhun, the past grudges have been put aside for the time being, and the immediate disaster has been avoided. Besides, the four khans have gathered six thousand warriors. Before the command authority can be discussed clearly, the wolf cavalry has already killed the six who were caught off guard.
Thousands of warriors collapsed at the first touch. The four big and small khans were chased by the winged wolf for more than a hundred miles until they ran to the edge of Liangchuan City before escaping with their lives. Therefore, no one dared to mention the idea of forming an alliance to protect themselves.
I had no choice but to collect heavy gifts and beg the Sui Dynasty to send troops to protect the place.
As more and more battles were fought, the military might of the Flying Tiger Army gradually became apparent. Looking back, this team was no longer like the weaklings with muscles and bones two months ago. The soldiers were riding on horseback.
On horseback, each one proudly puffed out his chest and fought, these men regained their dignity. They killed their former enemies and fled, and they avenged their families with their own hands, although they had no means of revenge.
Not upright, but the person at the front of the team promised that one day, he would let everyone come back holding their own battle flag high and take back their lost home in an open and honest manner.
Teams that often win battles also have a strong sense of honor. The Flying Tiger Army kills opponents whose hands have been stained with the blood of their compatriots but rarely kills the old, weak, women and children. But near the edge of the desert, near Tiansuyuan, this team broke through once.
Jina was a once prosperous village that was occupied by a group of Qiang people last autumn. Li Shimin led his troops and rushed in, killing all the men who dared to resist. When he ordered his brothers to evacuate, he suddenly saw two prisoners among them.
The woman's eyes widened in surprise
"They seem to understand what I'm saying?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and looked at Liu Hongji with an inquiring eye. Liu Hongji didn't see the second son's signal at all. He was busy greeting the brothers to select outstanding foot soldiers from the trophies. The frontier tribesmen all
Having raised a good horse, the Flying Tiger Army just picked tall ones from them to replace the mounts lost in the past days of fighting.
Unable to be noticed by others, Li Shimin frowned slightly and turned his gaze to Warrior Xun, only to find that Warrior Xun had already retreated far away with his brothers without even turning his head to this side.
He took his personal guards and evacuated with the brigade worriedly. So far, no one knows that the Turkic wolf cavalry that has caused trouble on both sides of the Yellow River recently are private soldiers of the Li family, including Li Yuan who is far away in Honghua.
In the minds of Tang Gongfu and the officials of Honghua County, at this time, the second son Shimin was leading a few trusted aides in the military camp of Mingsha City. The refugees were refugees. Those people had their animals robbed and their houses taken away.
A guy who doesn't know how to fight back won't be able to muster the slightest courage even if he has a long spear in his hand.
The team stopped to repair in an oasis deep in the desert. With the guidance of soldiers born in the area, for more than a month, Li Shimin and others were surprised to find that in the desert, which they thought was barren, there were actually many inaccessible but peaceful places.
Oasis like an outdoor paradise. These oases are dotted in the vast sea of Tenglan like stars in the night sky, turning the sea of death under your feet into a hiding place for wolf riders. After every attack, Li Shimin will take his brothers to escape.
In the desert, on the one hand, you hide your traces, on the other hand, you check the team in the oasis, and discuss with the generals whether to return to Mingsha City to rest, or to continue to attack the next target.
We must return to Mingsha City this time. Our brothers still have enough physical strength and are very enthusiastic about fighting, but the Yellow River in the distance is already showing signs of thawing. If the ice breaks, there will be no ferry on the edge of the desert for two thousand people to cross the river.
At those well-known ferries, wolf riders can't show up arrogantly.
"This year's spring hunting is over!" While Liu Hongji and the warrior Xun were busy leading their brothers to kill animals to prepare dry food for the army, Changsun Wuji came to the fire where Li Shimin was and asked tentatively how many months.
Military life has made his body much stronger. The shadow illuminated by the fire is like a piece of sandstone that has experienced thousands of years of wind and frost, with a hint of ferocity beyond its hardness.
"It's over. Jun Ji just suggested to me that we all break camp and return east early tomorrow morning. We are aiming to train our troops for this attack, and now the Flying Tiger Army has become an elite force!" Li Shimin turned around proudly and looked at the people behind him.
Oasis took a look at the oasis. Hundreds of bonfires were lit, large and small. Sitting beside each bonfire were more than a dozen tall men. They were as hard as stone and had personally experienced death and the taste of revenge. At this moment,
It has completely turned into a knife, and the handle of this sharp blade is in my hand
"Even compared to Brother Zhongjian's Xiongwu Camp, the Flying Tiger Army is not inferior." Looking at the brothers drinking and eating meat by the fire, Li Shimin's eyes were full of pride. Brother Zhongjian's Xiongwu Xiaoguo Camp finally gave the Yuwen family an advantage.
, and this Flying Tiger Army was built by the Li family personally and can be firmly held in their hands forever. "But will the eldest brother be jealous?" While he was proud, he felt a faint worry in his heart. But soon,
This worry turned into relief
'Brother will not fall in love with this mere 3,000 people. He has hundreds of staff. Besides, Xiao Hou will not be dragged away by him, and Brother Wu can't get along with him!' Thinking like this, he turned his attention to Liu
Hongji, and then turned back to Changsun Wuji. Liu Hongji was older than Li Jiancheng. He was a mature and prudent person in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, even if he could not be completely loyal to him, Li Shimin was not worried about this person being pulled over by his brother Li Jiancheng. As for Changsun Wuji,
Ji, he is Li Shimin's confidant, or another of his clones. Ever since the two families became in-laws, Changsun Wuji rushed to help him do many things that were inconvenient for Li Shimin to do. The two of them did not make it clear.
Explain the division of labor between each other, but the cooperation is tacit and tacit.
"Hosana Khan has asked for help from Honghua County for the third time this month. It is said that this time he has prepared more than a dozen carts of generous gifts for each official from Tang Gong and below!" Changsun Wuji smiled and continued.
Hosana Khan was so thick-skinned that it was unreasonable. Last autumn, he took the lead in driving away the Han people in the border counties. His arrogance was so arrogant that Tang Gong Li Yuan wrote a letter asking him to restrain his behavior in the name of leaving thirteen counties on the right side of the Great Sui Dynasty.
However, relying on the support of the Turkic nobles behind him, he also attracted Pei Ju, a big backer in the court, and simply ignored the messenger sent by Tang Gong Li Yuan.
But this spring, when he found out that his barbaric actions were retributive, his attitude immediately took a huge turn like the Yellow River. Not only did he repeatedly tell the court that he was a vassal and vassal of the Sui Dynasty, he also tried every means to establish a relationship with Li Yuan, demanding that the other party
For the sake of his fellow Sui ministers, he must send troops to rescue the distressed people. "The Ashina family is so ambitious that Tang Gong must remind the court to be careful and careful!" In order to express his attitude, the envoys of Hosana Khan tried to connect with the Ashina family.
The conspiracy to invade the Central Plains was revealed, but he forgot to compare his Hosana family with the Ashina family to see who had greater ambitions.
"If he knew that the so-called wolf riders were sent by the Li family to punish him, I don't know how the old guy would react!" Li Shimin shrugged his shoulders narrowly and responded with a smile.
"The old guy will be so angry that he will go crazy!" Hou Junji, who has become the Zuo Yuhou of the Flying Tiger Army, laughed loudly while being beaten and giving gifts to the person who beat him. Please do justice to such jokes, that is, Hesa
How can such uncivilized barbarians cause trouble?
"Yes, but it's better not to let him know if you can!" Changsun Wuji also laughed. After laughing enough, he turned his head to the side, looked at the dancing flames, and whispered, "Jun Ji, this afternoon
In the tribe we passed by, there were a few women who might have been robbed of Han or Hu people, but they could understand Chinese!"
"Really?" Hou Junji was startled and quickly stood up. "It's getting late. I have to arrange for a few scouts to explore the road!" He explained to the people around him and then quickly walked into the darkness.
"I'm going to check if the brothers have prepared bacon. I have to drive all day tomorrow!" Seeing Hou Junji walk away, Changsun Wuji also stood up and said goodbye to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin didn't say a word, staring straight at the fire in front of him. He knew Hou Junji's character better than anyone else, and he also understood that Changsun Wuji's sudden words were carefully thought out: "Zhong Jian encountered this kind of thing."
What will happen?" He thought hard and tried to raise his head several times to call Hou Junji and Changsun Wuji back, but in the end he chose to remain silent.
Zhong Jian lost the Xiongwu Camp because he made a mistake. Li Shimin did not want to repeat the same mistake. In the darkness, he opened his mouth and smiled, and a row of neat white teeth was illuminated by the fire.
Drunkard's note: Li Yuan's provocation by sending people pretending to be Turks to deal with the Turks is found in history books and is not fabricated.
