Jeluch took the brush and brushed the snowflakes on the horse's body vigorously, the weather was so cold that in some places there were even ice chips. Carefully brushed the war horse up and down, took a blanket, carefully wiped the water stains on the war horse, and then replaced it with a larger blanket to cover the war horse. As the commander of this army, there are other things that can be done by his own soldiers, but waiting for the war horse, Yeluqi has always been hands-on. In this way, it is also to cultivate the relationship between the war horse and himself, a war horse that can communicate with the master's heart, and it is not unreasonable to have an additional partner on the battlefield.

After waiting for the war horse to be comfortable, Jeluch went to the side of the pack horse, turned out a felt blanket from the inside, turned out an iron box, took a piece of bread, and went to the fire and sat down.

After a while, I heard the sound of boiling water in the iron box, so I picked up a branch, pulled the iron box aside, and waited until it was no longer hot, then I opened the lid of the box, felt out a bag, tore it open, and shook the contents into the water, there was a small bayonet on the lid of the box, and a spoon was stuck on it, and I took off the spoon, and kept stirring the dry water with the bag, and after seeing that the soup changed color and became thick, I took the knife, cut the cake of ** into small pieces and throw them into the soup one by one.

When the loaf was soft, Jeluch scooped a tablespoon of soup and drank it.

"Comfortable!" He whispered comfortably, scooped up the loaf and gulped it down.

A long time ago, he never imagined that he could live such a life while fighting war outside. At that time, he fought to earn his life and earn a chance for his tribe to survive.

What a miserable time it was!

Thinking about it now, it's really unbearable.

The men in the clan, but all the men, have to ride war horses and fight for Zhang Zhongwu. There was no military pay, no food and grass, no supplies, everything was robbed by oneself, or after winning the war, some reward was received from Zhang Zhongwu. Once it fails, all these things are gone, and the responsibility for the failure must be investigated.

In those years, there were fewer and fewer men in the tribe, and the men left in the tribe were either old people or crippled by war.

Although almost six years have passed, he still remembers the scene when he met Li Ze when he set off for Boxing with tens of thousands of ragged tribes, Li Ze took off his cloak and draped it over an old man wearing only single clothes. Especially the scene where Li Ze's three thousand guards untied their cloaks and stuffed them into the women and old men in their tribe, that scene shocked him and moved him very much, a man who had never shed tears, at that moment, the tears couldn't stop flowing.

Just for this moment, he felt that he could also fight for Li Ze's life.

At that time, he thought that this was the time when Li Ze cared most about his clan, and it was also the most highlight moment.

But as it turned out, he was wrong.

After arriving in Boxing, the Sivandan Department ushered in a new life.

In just one year's effort, they got rid of the days of not being able to eat and cloth.

Every day that passed, their days prospered, and by now, Boxing Trading Company has become one of the most famous consortia in the world. Every member of Sivantan's clan is a shareholder of Boxing Trading Company, and every year he pays dividends alone, so that his clansmen can have no worries about food and clothing. The Siwandan tribe became a benchmark for the infinitely better life of foreigners under Li Ze's rule, and there were constantly small groups of Khitans and people from other tribes defecting to them, and there were also slightly larger tribes that began to attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty because they were encouraged by the current situation of the Siwandan tribe.

Nowadays, in the south and north of the desert, in Pingzhou, Fuzhou and other places, there are constantly tribes who have voluntarily become the subjects of the Tang Dynasty and accept the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.

After graduating from Wuwei Academy, many people from the Sivandan tribe went to these places and became officials of the Tang Dynasty to govern these newly attached tribes, and their special status made these newly attached tribes have a sense of identity.

In recent years, there have been more and more adult males in the Siwandan Division, and the scattered Khitans who have been attached to the outside have further strengthened the Siwandan Division. According to the habits of the Khitans, these people who gave up their original tribes became Siwandan people after joining the Siwandan tribe. This makes Yeluqi's military resources more sufficient, and he can choose the best of the best, and the best of the best.

The establishment under his command, which is 3,000 cavalry, has never changed. Under Liu Chenglin's command, his 3,000 people were named the Khitan camp very bluntly.

The salaries of the soldiers of the Khitan battalion have always been the highest, and I am afraid that no one can match them in the entire Tang army, because in addition to receiving a military salary from the Tang Dynasty, the Boxing Trading Company will also supplement the salary of each soldier who joins the Khitan battalion, which will be paid directly to the families of these soldiers.

The identity of all the soldiers of the Khitan battalion is the most sought-after in Boxing.

Because this constantly represents a good income, but also represents an honor. The Siwandan Department of Boxing knew very well that they had the current life of Dingyu, and it was the life of the Khitan camp that won for them.

But to join the Khitan battalion, now you need to defeat more opponents to become a part of it. The soldiers of the Khitan battalion, forty years old is the retirement age, in addition to the normal retirement, it is the battle loss, in the past two years, there are not many battles, and there are even fewer people who are replenished.

The combat effectiveness of the Khitan battalion has always been the strongest among the right guards under Liu Chenglin's jurisdiction. Even the rangers led by Li De would not be their opponents if they were to fight with the same force.

Therefore, when there was a war in Youweiwei, the Khitan battalion has always been the vanguard. No one can fight with them, and they can't fight with them.

This time in the attack on Tai'an, the Khitan battalion once again became one of the pioneers. The reason why it is one of the vanguards is because Li De's rangers may set off at the same time as the Khitan battalion this time, one left and one right, and the two cavalry marched in unison.

Jeluch certainly didn't want to lose to Lide. First, this is the honor of his Khitan battalion, and second, it is also the honor of Right Weiwei. Li De's rangers were not subordinate to any of the guards, and like Li De's Modao battalion, they were directly subordinate to the central government and were personally commanded by Li Ze.

"Uncle!" A voice sounded beside him, but it was in Khitan language.

Yeluqi couldn't help but look back, and knew that it was Yelu Chengfeng.

Yelu Chengfeng is not a member of the Siwan Dan Tribe, but a member of the Siwan Mo Tribe, and Yelu Yuan, the patriarch of the Siwan Mo Tribe, is still working hard for Zhang Zhongwu in Goguryeo.

Compared to the Sivandan Division, the life of the Sivan Mada Division is much more miserable. Today's Goguryeo, and Zhang Zhongwu have gradually turned against each other, and the contradiction between the power minister Tan Daoji and the king of Goguryeo has been eased because of Zhang Zhongwu's intensified oppression, and now the two sides have put aside their prejudices and united to fight against Zhang Zhongwu's looting, which makes Zhang Zhongwu's forces more and more difficult in Goguryeo, and as a pioneer was used in Goguryeo's Yelu Yuan Division, the casualties are getting heavier and heavier day by day. In desperation, Yeluyuan had to find another way.

That's why Yelu Chengfeng sneaked into Boxing and finally found Yeluqi.

If the two tribes go back two generations, they are still the same ancestor, and Yeluqi, who is now developed, naturally wants to pull his brothers, but he also knows that this is not something he can decide and do, so the arrival of Yelu Chengfeng was reported to Liu Chenglin as soon as possible, and then, Gongsun Changming came with a group of people for a while. In the end, some of the people who followed Yelu Chengfeng and some of the people brought by Gongsun Changming disappeared, but Yelu Chengfeng stayed and became Yeluqi's personal soldiers.

Jerichie didn't bother with this matter anymore.

At this point, as a matchmaker, his task has been completed, and whether or not the Sivan Mabu can have a good result in the end depends on whether they can make a contribution themselves.

"It's been three months since I joined the Khitan camp, how do you feel?" Jerichy asked.

"Good!" Yelu Chengfeng said: "Compared with our days in Goguryeo, one is in heaven and one is underground. Uncle, when will we be able to live like this? ”

"I don't know! At the beginning, I asked your father to do it anyway, but he refused, and now he regrets it, and he must pay a greater price and make greater contributions. Yeluqi sighed: "One wrong step, one wrong step, now you are trapped in Goguryeo, even if I want to help, I can't help." ”

Yelu Chengying was overshadowed.

"Don't worry too much about your father now, at least he can last a few more years, and now that he has taken over, there must be a way to make their lives better. It's you, your father left you behind, hoping that you can make some merit here, fight for a good future, and have a good future when they come back in the future. Now that the Southern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty has begun, this is a good time to make meritorious contributions, so don't miss it. ”

"My nephew will definitely fight." Yelu Chengfeng nodded vigorously.

"It's not just that. It's been three months, and you still don't speak Tang very well. They can't be used to communicate normally, and in the future, there will be more coordinated operations, and you can't even speak Tang fluently, how can I deliver you more important tasks? How can you make friends with other Tang Dynasty generals? Don't underestimate these things. In the future, you are not allowed to speak Khitan again, only Tang dialect. ”

"I see, uncle!"

"Fighting in the sequence of the Tang Dynasty army is very different from your previous battles, the Tang Cavalry Drill Code, the Infantry Code of Conduct, you have to memorize and understand it carefully."

"Uncle, why do you still have to memorize infantry drill codes?"

"Didn't you hear what I told you, you don't know the infantry drills, what will you do when you fight with the infantry in the future? You can understand the banner orders of the infantry generals, understand what the formation changes of the infantry mean, and how do you need to cooperate to achieve the best results? To become a qualified general, you have to learn a lot! Jerichie said.

Yelu Chengfeng nodded.

Yeluqi sighed: "You brothers, you are the only seedling left over the years, if it weren't for your father's hope that you can make great contributions to pave the way for the future, I really don't want you to stay in the army, and it is best to follow your brother Fengze to do things." ”

Yelu Fengze, the son of Yeluqi, is now the president of Boxing Trading Company, and he has already bid farewell to the army, and he no longer has to go to Bo Di in exchange for credit.
