Chapter 742: News from Khuluyeg
Chapter 742
There are also rapid marches in the army, and it is normal for some special tasks to travel hundreds of miles a day. But even the fastest rapid march was less than half of these people, and it was impossible to maintain a neat queue in the rapid rush like them.
When thousands of powerful soldiers advance collectively with the same movements, the same pace, the impact and shock are indescribable!
"Incredible!"
"These soldiers are so strong! The order is forbidden, and there is no confusion at all. Where did Master Hou find such a powerful team!"
"It's so strong, it's even more powerful than the white male soldiers who attacked the city last night!"
"Is this the helper that Master Hou found?"
......
Inside and outside the city walls, many craftsmen and guards were amazed.
"Is this the wounded soldier Hou Ye is looking for?"
On the southwest city wall, Zhang Shouzhi was inspecting the city wall, and when he saw these wounded soldiers who appeared from the east, he sighed in his heart. He was one of the few who knew about the existence of the village, but it was the first time he had seen the soldiers of the village.
"That's amazing......! No wonder the Hou Ye will specially send General Li!"
Zhang Shou said secretly in his heart.
He has experienced the battlefield of tragic killing, and in the battle of the southwest, anyone who can survive the attack of the Mongolian and Ukrainian coalition forces in the later period is basically the elite of the elite.
But even the most elite Southwest Capital Protector Army, in Zhang Shouzhi's feeling, is not as good as this black wounded army led by Li Siye and emerged from the east.
The wounded soldiers came quickly, and they were less than a few hundred feet away from the Steel City in a short time. At this time, boom, the gate opened, and Wang Chong rode a war horse and walked through the city gate with Cheng Sanyuan and others.
"Master Hou!"
Seeing Wang Chong, Li Siye turned over and dismounted, strode over, and bowed in front of Wang Chong:
"The last general is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he has completed all the training of the first phase of the wounded Ukrainian soldiers, please review it by Lord Hou. “
"Hmm. “
Wang Chong nodded, his gaze shifted from Li Siye to the five thousand wounded soldiers. This black wounded soldier is completely different from when Wang Chong first saw him, they are covered with stubborn and full armor, and they have begun to take on the prototype of the "black wounded iron horse" in later generations.
"Yes, thank you. “
Wang Chong patted Li Siye on the shoulder and turned around.
Li Siye's ability is indeed very strong, he can train these 5,000 wounded soldiers into the current state in just one month, order and prohibit, immobile like a mountain, aggression like fire, this ability, I am afraid that few people in the entire military can do it, and he is indeed worthy of being a future supernatural general.
"You go down and rest first, and then the army will be handed over to me!"
Wang Chong said.
From the isolated Wusheng villagers to the world-famous Wusheng Iron Riders, this process is not achieved overnight. They haven't cultivated the martial arts created specifically for them, they haven't cultivated the aura of black wounds named after their village, and most importantly-
They had not yet obtained the most important war horse for a cavalryman.
"Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and only the war horses of Kulu Yege are owed. “
Wang Chong said secretly in his heart.
A total of 5,000 horses were needed for 5,000 horses, and only Khuluyeg could get the best Turkic horses.
"Counting the time, it's about the same. I don't know how he's preparing. “
There was a long border line between the western part of the moraine and the Turkic steppe, and there were soldiers and horses of the Western Turkic Khanate, which were stationed at the same time, and these soldiers and horses were usually restrained from each other, so that peace and tranquility were maintained at both ends of the border line.
But at this time, it became the biggest obstacle for Wang Chong to obtain war horses. Five thousand horses was not a small number, and it was impossible for such a large herd of horses to hide from the armies of the Western Capital, the Northern Courtyard Protectors, and the Western Turkic Khanate.
With the relationship between Wang Chong and the two Dadu Hu, if it is discovered, there is a chance that this transaction will make wedding clothes for others, and such a big war horse transaction will not be able to pass the Western Turkic Khanate in the first place, after all, the current Western Turkic Khanate and the current Tang Dynasty are hostile relations.
"Now it's up to him to see his own means. “
Wang Chong said secretly in his heart.
It is rumored that Khuluyeg, as the number one horse merchant in the Turkic steppe, has many secret channels for trading war horses, which can hide from the ears and eyes of those border guards.
Now is the time to test the truth of those rumors.
"Everyone, follow me!"
Wang Chong quickly came back to his senses, beckoned to the opposite side, and quickly led everyone into the steel city.
......
In the endless steppes of the Turkic steppes, the vast weeds are boundless, spreading all the way to the end of the earth. Here, time seems to stand still, and the detached grassland withers and flourishes, repeating itself continuously, and it seems to continue until the end of time.
"Drive!"
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a shout broke the peace on the grassland, and in an instant, the earth roared, and in the dense sound of horses' hooves, thousands of war horses were tall and handsome, with smooth and oily fur, galloping in groups from the southeast.
"Drive!"
In the blink of an eye, there was another shout, and in the southwest, another group of tall Turkic war horses galloped towards them. Then came the Northwest and Northeast...... , groups of war horses converged from all directions.
It's just that in an instant, all the war horses gathered together and gathered into a huge herd of tens of thousands of war horses.
"Yu Yu!"
Amid the shouts, a wrangler galloped around the herd on a war horse, constantly driving the herd away to prevent them from scattering.
"Boba, all the 10,000 war horses have arrived from all tribes, they are the best war horses, they don't need to be trained, just add the saddle. “
While the other wranglers were driving away the horses, another strong Turkic man with a full beard turned over and dismounted in the howling wind, and quickly passed through the herd and stopped in front of a middle-aged Turkic man with two bronze skeletons on his shoulders, a little rich, and a slight belly.
Boba is an honorific title, in the Turkic language, it means the honorable lord, the most popular guest of honor, the entire Turkic steppe, can obtain this honorific title, and at the same time welcomed by various tribes, only one person can do it, that is, the first Turkic horse merchant Huluyeg.
"Hahaha, okay! Help me tell the chiefs, follow me Kulu Yege, eat and drink spicy food, and I will definitely not treat them badly! Now you can inform the young marquis and make the first transaction!"
Sitting on a crimson sweaty horse, looking at the vast herd of horses in front of him, he laughed and laughed, and his voice echoed throughout the prairie.
......
"Whoa!"
Two days later, with the sound of wings bursting through the air, a dove flew into Wang Chong's mansion in the Iron City. In the mansion, Wang Chong was sitting behind a desk, silently flipping through a copy of "Travels to the Western Regions" sent by Yang Hongchang.
This is a codex that introduces the countries of the Western Regions, which Wang Chong specially asked Yang Hongchang to find for himself.
Suddenly, seeing the pigeon flying into the study, Wang Chong's eyelids jumped.
"Khuluyeg!"
The carrier pigeon had a black ribbon tied on its right leg, and Wang Chong recognized it at a glance, which he had given to Hulu Yege at the beginning, so that he could contact him at any time.
"So fast!"
A look of surprise flashed in Wang Chong's eyes, and he quickly grabbed the carrier pigeon and took off the letterhead tied to his leg. Kuluyege's handwriting was crooked, but the content of the letter was what Wang Chong wanted to hear most now:
"Your Excellency Young Hou Wang Chong, the first batch of 10,000 war horses has been prepared, and you can start trading in two days, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and I will personally send the war horses to Your Excellency's Steel City!"
Although Kulu Yege tried his best to imitate the official rhetoric of the Tang Dynasty, he still learned four dislikes, but these are not important at all, the most important thing is that Kulu Yege has really prepared 10,000 of the best Turkic war horses.
"I really didn't see the wrong person! This Kulu Yege does have some skills, and it is not in vain that I was busy sneaking into the Western Regions at the beginning and made a special trip to find him!"
Holding the letterhead, Wang Chong's eyes were full of joy, and Hulu Yege really gave him a surprise.
Ten thousand war horses, and the best Turkic war horses, this is not a small number, such a large number of fine war horses, like a fire in the night, it is difficult not to attract attention, especially the Western Turkic Khan, once discovered, the trade must be terminated.
But Khulu Yege had a good wrist and really collected 10,000 of the best Turkic war horses in such a short period of time. And listening to his meaning, he actually wanted to personally send the war horse to the city of steel.
This is really a big surprise!
"Is it Khuluyege?"
A voice suddenly came from behind him, it was Li Siye's voice. In the past few days, when he returned to the city, he also learned about Hulu Yege from Wang Chong.
"Hmm!"
Wang Chong nodded:
"I'll leave this matter to you, and you can bring someone to contact him. “
"The last will understand. “
Li Siye nodded seriously. How important the war horse is to the cavalry, this does not need to be said by Wang Chong, he also understands that for this transaction with the Turks, Li Si even attaches more importance to it than Wang Chong in his heart.
"Well, this transaction involves one million taels of gold, and when the time comes, Hulu Yege should ask for a part of the payment in advance, and the gold is in Zhang Shou's senior, you can take someone to get it. All the matters involved in the early stage and Khuluyeg are all handled by you, and you can make decisions on the spot. “
"If you find out that Khuluyeg is doing something there, you should know what to do. “
Wang Chong said.
Although the name of the first horse merchant of the Turkic people in Hulu Yege was resounding all over the world, Wang Chong did not fully believe him, and he also kept an eye on him.
If there is any change in Hulu Yege, or any conspiracy in secret, Li Siye's ability can completely handle it.
"Yes!"
Li Siye soon left. In the room, after Li Siye left, Wang Zheng suddenly pushed away the table and walked slowly to the window, his eyes looked at the sky outside the window, and his heart rose and fell.
