Chapter 176: Killing (1)
(Commuter Pass)
Li Po felt that he had already met a lot of strange people, but God still kept sending strange people to him.
This black bearded boy is called Gaga, you might as well be called Haha.
Looking at the bitter and hateful appearance, you can know that you must have suffered a lot of crimes, but you are quite smart, knowing that they are definitely not Turks, they are all impostors, and they can even speak Chinese, which is not easy.
"Do you know where the nearest tribe is?"
"You know, if you go that way from here, you will go past a forest, and you will see several tribes on one side of the sea, and they are fighting, and there are many people."
Li Po lifted his hat and waved his hand, "Order, go north, Liu Jing, you are a waste, you are not as good as a child, do you know how far we have taken a detour?" ”
A stout 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, and you can't count on me any more." ”
Ah, dare to talk back, and let your kid rush forward when you get to the place.
This time, a total of 1,500 people went out, Li Po led 500 people to the north, Li 5 led 500 people to the west, and another battalion lieutenant led 500 people to the east.
Half of the 3,000 cavalry of the Yunnei army were released.
When they go back, it will be Li Bi's turn to bring people out.
This time I came out, not only for military training, but also to make some trouble for the Turks, so all the Sui troops wore Turkic costumes and held scimitars.
But even if the Great Sui Hu Feng is prosperous, it is different from the northern grassland tribes in the end, and even a grassland boy who has never seen the world can recognize it at a glance. Not to mention the others.
Of course, as long as you don't get closer. Don't speak, in general. The chances of goofs aren't that great either.
And even if it is recognized, it is not a big deal, the Turks are going south, and it is normal for the Sui army to go out of the fortress, besides, in the first ten years, this is still the border of the Great Sui.
The steppe is already a lawless realm, and here, for the cavalry. It's like a fish in water, and you can toss it with joy.
This is the first tribe that Li Po brought people out to meet, and the Sui army, who had been galloping on horseback for two days, was obviously a little too excited, and the orders he gave were not implemented thoroughly, and no one was released.
I also picked up a wolf child, look at this mouth full of blood, what did you eat?
But the Chinese is good, so that he can be a competent guide.
"Joined the army, and there were still some women and children left. You see......"
This is another guy who doesn't have long eyes and no heart, recruit, it's really a headache.
Li Po glared at him fiercely. "Long head? You want me to give me a military order to slaughter all the people, right? ”
"Yes, join the army."
People who lack hearts and eyes are everywhere in the Sui army, and all of them are five big and three thick. The brain is not very useful, just look at that expression. didn't understand what Li Po meant at all, Li Po sighed. It's over, these bastards seem to have taken the words they said before.
If the people he brought out this time were those people who came back from Liaodong, why did he need to spend so much spit?
"Pass the order, leave no one behind, and leave this matter to you." The unlucky brigade commander walked away.
"Yuan Dalang, why don't you also go to practice swords? Yes, let's just assume that we didn't ask? ”
"My knife is to cut ......"
The sky was thundering, and Li Po had the heart to kill him.
Gradually, there was no sound in the tribe, there was blood and corpses everywhere, and there would be no survivors, which was a standard act of war, and there was no room for much humanity.
Li Po had long understood this, but the five hundred Sui soldiers he brought out still had to adapt for a while, and at this moment, they seemed to confirm the fact that Li joined the army and was a demon king in their minds.
These are the soldiers of the Mayi Prefecture, 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 in the past are gradually getting old, and their children and grandchildren have taken over the armor, swords and guns from their fathers.
They are young and swift, fierce and brave, and they do not lack combat skills, and they can quickly integrate together after forming an army, and the advantages of the government military system have been perfectly reflected in them.
But their shortcomings are no less obvious, they lack a cold heart and a tenacious will to fight.
Originally, Li Po suggested that some of the 1,000 people who had returned from Liaodong be released and become officers and colonels of various ministries.
But it was vetoed by Li Bi, the government soldiers have their own perfect system, and there is no shortage of officers and generals, if the officers are placed on a large scale, it will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction among the government soldiers.
Moreover, every army needs an elite, and this thousand people are the core of the Hengan Town Army, and this core may be divided, but it is definitely not now.
On this, it is obvious that Li Bi has more right to speak.
………………………………
"Your name is Quack, why did you come up with such a name?"
That night, Li Po casually asked the only survivor of this tribe, and now their guide, at this time, these Sui soldiers who had seen blood, like him, had become a little different.
What's the difference, I'm afraid there are so many people, and only Li Po can clearly perceive the difference between before and after, 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 the soldiers to survive on the battlefield.
The filthy quack was huddled in a ball, the madness had long since faded in him, and what remained was the humility and timidity peculiar to a slave, and he was not as courageous as he thought.
"On the day I was born, there were crows chirping, so it was called quack." He looked at this new master, a young and powerful Sui man.
He tends to be gentle when he laughs, and he is not fierce when he speaks, but Gaga's always feels that this Sui man seems to have a demon hidden in his body, which makes him instinctively feel fear.
What kind of unlucky name is this, thanks to someone who came up with it, Li Po thought boredly.
"In the future, with my surname, you will be called Li Ya."
Li Po casually gave people a name, and his ability to name people was not much better than others.
This is the end of the communication between Li Po and the herdsman, and since then, even if there is an extra person named Li Ya by his side, he has always called him the master's servant.
Li Po didn't care how excited the shepherd slave who got an official name was, and lay down on the soft grass, looking up at the clear starry sky.
But there is not a moment of peace in my heart.
The news that Li Jing, the teacher of Mayi County, had reached Heng'an Town was that the Turks had moved south, so they sent troops to sweep away the tribes scattered in the steppe in the clouds, so as not to be used by the Turks.
It's a cold and bloody order.
Li Po didn't know what Li Jing's source was, but he shouldn't be wrong.
When the three expeditions to Liaodong were underway, the internal turmoil in the Great Sui was no longer what it looked like, and as the overlord of the northern steppe, if the Turkic Khanate did not have any expression, then it would have to pass, and the Turks suddenly had a collective convulsion and became extremely kind.
Then it is easy to understand what this military order means.
One is to train soldiers, the other is to kill, and the other is to probe Turkic movements.
Walk north, go and touch the Turks? Forget it.
Don't you go? The Turks don't know what they look like, and they may have to suffer in the future.
As for whether he will kill the Turks in the future, then there is no need to ask, who is Mayi Juncheng? That was Li Jing, the disaster star of the Turks in the future.
I'm still lazy, this year's time, I've been thinking about competing with businessmen, and it's good to train a few clever scouts to come out.
Now I don't even know where the Turks are, if they keep going north, don't fall into the arms of the Turks, these impostors are not expected to be as powerful as the fake Sun Monkey, they can almost wipe out the real ones, and most of the Turks will suffer.
In the entanglement, Li Po fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up, there was already a white line in the eastern sky, and the sunrise on the grassland was very beautiful.
The soldiers woke up one after another, began to chew on the jerky, arranged the saddles of the horses, and prepared to go.
Looking at these strong soldiers, Li Po slowly gained some confidence in his heart, he was very glad that he did not fall behind in some later dynasties, relying on two legs on the grassland, or running back and forth in Liaodong, Li Po felt terrible when he thought about it.
At this time, he felt that the Great Sui was still good, at least with herds of war horses and a large number of skilled warriors, which made the Great Sui's war mobility no worse than that of the Turks.
Just like now, they still have some initiative, because he still has a choice.
The Turks went south and the Sui people went north, and it was the most normal thing to touch it, but the Sui people were a little dirty here, wearing other people's clothes, killing people and setting fires, which was too unfair.
In fact, this also shows more clearly that the strength and weakness of the Great Sui and the Turks have been completely reversed.
After a few years of hard work, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was able to drag such a powerful empire deep into the quagmire, and I have to say that this emperor is really not bad.
In April of the tenth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui led his troops north.
The northern border counties were all nervously watching the movements in the north, but there was only one Li Jing who dared to send troops out of the fortress to defend by attacking, in order to delay the Turks as much as possible.
As Li Jing's disciple, what Li Po thought before was that it was not bad at all, and he was used like a donkey.
This was also the first time he commanded cavalry in battle alone, and it was also a relatively important moment in his long military career.
Every wise general, in their career, there will be no shortage of bloodshed and killing, and Li Po is no exception.
Quack, or the sea as Li Ya speaks, is actually a large lake, surrounded by some swamps, such a place has always been the focus of contention among the grassland tribes. (To be continued.) )
