Chapter 500: Shenxing Taibao Yang Big Eyes (I)
The cold river is glowing with the cold light of the cold moon, and if you are not careful, you may have a few dazzling rays of light entering your eyeballs. It was caused by the breeze swaying the river, and of course the deep reeds were swayed at the same time, and there was a rejoicing He Guan.
When he heard the sound of the truck, he knew that his companion was not far away, and even if the cavalrymen in front of him were dressed as steppe people, he could roughly guess that they were Mongols who had just surrendered. Sure enough, as soon as he got closer to observe, he saw the dark green anti-bow and arrow vests that had been issued to them.
This is not something that the regimes of this era can equip themselves with, and given that their level of loyalty has not yet reached the point where they can be completely trusted, the rulers of the empire will certainly not give them anything with high defensive power. However, in order for them to feel the benefits of submitting to the Empire, they couldn't help but send them anything, so this kind of vest, which could only protect the vital parts of the body, was sent to this group of Mongols.
Of course, for some of the more far-sighted rulers, it is naturally not okay to give them too high treatment in the first place. For this kind of thing, it is necessary to continuously improve according to their performance, so you can't give it too high at the beginning, otherwise there will be no room for development in the future.
However, He Guan didn't have the heart to care about this. He is not the ruler of this empire, he does not have the obligation to that heart, and besides, he does not have the ability to do that. For a general, it is their best choice to become a screw in the empire.
No machine would want its screws to be alive, and even more so for the state apparatus, so since the Tang and Song dynasties, the suppression of military generals by the civilian and official groups has run through the entire history of China. And now, it has spread to every regime in the world. Although there are military dictatorships among them, they have been widely regarded as irrational, and no one wants to let the reins of the gun loose, because that could mean endless chaos and war.
As for these smaller screws, they require more attention from the entire empire. Although they are not in key positions, their numbers and proportions have become a force to be reckoned with within the current empire. All Mongolians should be properly governed, and this is clearly what every ruler is trying to do. They even had more than one timeline carefully planned for this to allow the extended family to blend organically into the empire's still somewhat petite body.
Fortunately, the grassland people's concept of survival is still the most popular law of the jungle. As always, they were willing to submit to the feet of the strong, so the Da Yue Empire, which was more willing to show its muscles, quickly gained their nominal allegiance, and on the next basis, the empire would use substantial economic interests to bind them more firmly, and then there were cultural and religious and other spiritual ties to add to the relationship between the two sides.
However, they have not yet enjoyed the financial benefits, but they have gradually begun to learn new cultural tricks. For the ancestors who once ruled the Central Plains, they were in awe. The things that those people have inherited, especially about the Central Plains, whether they are rich or hateful, are tightly engraved in their minds. But the emergence of this Dayue Empire has brought them a completely different feeling.
Isn't this a dynasty from the Central Plains? Aren't they fighting with the Ming Dynasty for the so-called rivers and mountains of the Han people? Why are their clothes, writing, and philosophy of accidents not at all like those of the Central Plains? They also don't seem to have a sense of identity with Confucius and Mencius. Is this the same people whose ancestors have lived together for hundreds of years?
While puzzled, another group of curious Mongols began to explore their new fashion. A lot of people are now speaking the new Chinese dialect. They have noticed only some differences between the two languages, but the new Chinese dialect is at least more straightforward when written.
At the same time, many habits that were popular in the Dayue Empire also began to appear in them, and even some simple electronic products were ready to open up this not fat market. At the same time, the preachers who were tasked with spreading the Romanity came to them on their horses, with scimitars in one hand and scriptures in the other.
More and more Mongols began to become more familiar with the people of the Great Viet Empire. At least when a guy came out of the reeds beckoning for help, they didn't think the man was some kind of strange creature.
"I am He Guan, the guard of Talas, take me to your chief."
The man roared loudly, speaking very quickly, and in a hurry, he still spoke the Northern Song dialect, but these Mongolians did not understand very well. He Guan immediately took out his ID and waved it at them. One of the Mongolian soldiers, who knew a few Chinese characters, stepped forward to take a look, and then, He Guan was pleased to see that the Mongolian soldier nodded at him, and then saluted himself: "Hello general!" ”
Of course, He Guan didn't know, but this was thanks to the credit of simplified characters, otherwise traditional characters might not be recognized by Mongolian soldiers. Although the complexity of Mongolian is in no way inferior to that of traditional Chinese characters.
"General, please come with me." The Mongol soldier beckoned his companions to squeeze in, gave up the best horse among them to He Guan, and the group escorted him to a truck not far away.
He Guan saw the Mongol soldiers slowly reduce the speed of their horses, and knew that the person he wanted to see was here, but he looked around, but he did not see a person in the color of a general's uniform. Just as I was wondering, a human head suddenly popped up.
He Guan was immediately taken aback, not because the human head had moved from his neck, but because the still handsome face suddenly swelled with a pair of extremely discordant big eyes.
The footprint of these eyes is really a bit outrageous.
He Guan took a deep breath for more than ten seconds before he calmed down.
The Mongolian soldiers on the side even showed disdain because of this. But what surprised He Guan even more was that there was still a head in the car body.
At this moment, He Guan had to take a deep breath for more than ten seconds, still not because this head had moved, but because it was a woman.
Although it is impossible for the modern military system to be free of female soldiers, it was still a rare thing in ancient times. It's unbelievable that this guy came to the battlefield with a woman.
"Hey, what are you gasping for?" The Mongolian soldiers on the side really couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted at He Guan with their throats in their voices.
"Oh." He Guan had just calmed down and replied in a low voice, "Your general is really talented. ”
Even if the Mongolian soldier was not very proficient in Chinese, he felt that there was something strange in this sentence, and immediately said with a displeased face: "You are saying that my general's eyes are too big, right, let me tell you, if you dare to be disrespectful to my general, believe it or not, I will throw you into the river now." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." He Guan waved his hand again and again. But he suddenly remembered that he still had a military life, anyway, he was asking for help, it was good to find Li Siye, not to find Li Siye, and to find this big-eyed monster.
"Are you looking for me?"
The big-eyed monster is none other than the emperor's favorite general, Yang Dayan, a famous general in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
His name has been lost to the chaos of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and people only call him Yang Dayan because of his big eyes. At that time, the main enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, that is, the Southern Dynasty Liang, was once rumored to be fearful, and this person's eyes were as big as wheels.
From He Guan's point of view, although this guy's eyes are indeed not as big as the wheels, they are not far away.
And the woman next to him is, of course, not his wife in his previous life, but his classmate at the Celebrity University. However, the two are very similar in appearance, and their personalities are similar. Maybe it was because Yang Dayan missed the life of his previous life that he began to take the initiative to pursue her. Now, Yang Dayan, who is already an excellent general of the Dayue Empire, has the most backing of the empire with the most development potential, and of course has the initiative in courtship.
He Guan only roughly guessed the relationship between the two. When he was at Celebrity University before, he didn't notice what relationship the two had developed. In fact, for the generals of the Song Dynasty, their college career is really nothing to miss.
"General Qiyu. General Gao Xianzhi ordered me to look for General Li Siye for help, as if they had some tactical agreement in advance, but because the Kazakhs suddenly increased their troops in advance, I am afraid that their plan had to be advanced. He Guan explained to Yang Dayan that Talas City was in urgent need of rescue, and the latter only listened lightly at first, which made He Guan very worried about whether this person would rescue Gao Xianzhi.
However, Yang Dayan's later answer made He Guan overjoyed.
"In this way, I asked my men to continue searching. You and I will lead the rest of the men to the aid of Talus. General Gao must not be allowed to support himself independently. ”
As a result, the rumbling sound of trucks continued to echo in the Kazakh steppe, and the city of Talas, not far away, would soon take these noisy machine sounds as a natural sound to save the defeat and save his life, just like He Guan.
However, before Gao Xianzhi and the others heard this heavenly sound, the panicked Kazakhs would definitely send a reconnaissance force to see what kind of monster was approaching them.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Yang's soldiers encountered Kazakh scouts.
According to He Guan's understanding, now is the best time to let these newly surrendered Mongolian cavalry be cannon fodder. Regardless of the dynasty, those who surrender must hand in a letter of surrender. At the very least, this group of people must show their loyalty and ability to be worthy of the rewards and gifts that the Empire has placed on them. But what is obvious is that Yang Dayan doesn't think so.
"Pass my orders! Burn the wind! ”
Yang Dayan took the simplest and roughest crushing forward. Even if many of the war horses in Central Asia can grow to more than 500 catties, they do not have the ability to call out trucks with a load of several tons. Although the rubber tires are not strong enough to turn them into meatloaf, it is not difficult for the truck's hard "exoskeleton" to kill them.
This petty military conflict was quickly defused. The next thing that appeared in front of Yang Dayan and He Guan was the main force of Yesmuhan. Although most of them were bravely attacking the city at this time, they had clearly sent a capable force to prevent someone from attacking their besieging army from behind at this time.
He Guan glanced at Yang Dayan, meaning, are you still going to run over directly this time? He didn't believe that such a routine would succeed every time. Perhaps greatly influenced by the literati of the Northern Song Dynasty, He Guan always likes to pursue wisdom on the battlefield.
But Yang Dayan is about to use his performance to tell He Guan what should be done by a general.
After whispering goodbye to his girlfriend, Yang jumped out of the truck and climbed onto a maroon war horse. Then his own soldiers handed him his lance. He Guan glanced at him in surprise, could it be that this guy was going to attack the enemy's camp alone.
He's crazy!
"He Guan," Yang shouted loudly, "you are waiting for General Li Siye here." Tell him to act according to General Gao Xianzhi's plan. I don't know how they negotiated it, so I can't rush into something that meets the outside and the outside. But the city of Talas is already in danger, and I can't help but send reinforcements. ”
With that, Yang Dayan waved his horse lance and rushed towards the Kazakh cavalry at a gallop.
The cavalry on the opposite side was apparently stunned for a few seconds, and then rushed towards them with a scream of shame as if they had been humiliated. However, Yang Dayan only waved his horse lance slightly, and three cavalrymen fell from their horses and died.
All of a sudden, the area he passed through left a string of corpses as proof of his visit.
"Shoot the arrows!" Yasmuhan in the distance had already noticed this terrible general, and if he had read the Book of Wei, he must have deeply realized the sentence "everyone thought that Guan Zhang Fu was wrong". However, he is not without a way to deal with this guy.
After several rounds of arrow rain in a row, Yang Dayan's war horse finally couldn't support it and fell. But Yang Dayan avoided a bigger impact with a forward roll. In foot combat, the horse lance was no longer useful, and he could only use a bow and arrow.
However, he has another skill that is particularly well-suited to foot combat.
Run, it was with this that he successfully recommended himself in front of Shangshu Li Chong. Not everyone can get the speed that a horse can't reach.
As a result, the Kazakh cavalry were surprised to find that the speed of this man, who had to jump off his horse, not only did not decrease, but also increased. Many people were puzzled by their eyes, but in the blink of an eye, the sharp sword in Yang Dayan's hand had already cut off their horses' legs.
This was followed by one roar after another: "Talas, here I am!" (To be continued.) )
