Volume 1 A Hundred Battles and Yellow Sand Wear Gold Armor Chapter 38 Turkic Envoys

The eldest grandson Sheng, when Wang Junlin was in later generations, also heard about the history of the Sui Dynasty. He is a famous military strategist and diplomat of the Sui Dynasty, the great-grandson of Sun Zhi, the eldest grandson of the king of Shangdang Wenxuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the third son of Sun Ji, the third director of the Northern Zhou Kaifu Yitong.

According to historical records, the eldest grandson Sheng was intelligent by nature, dabbled in book history, and was good at riding and shooting. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Changsun Sheng only served as a sergeant of the guard and a lieutenant of Fengche. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, he successively served as the third division of Yitong, the general of the Hussar of the Left Xunwei, the general of the left leading army, and the general of the right Xiaowei. During the more than 10 years of communication with the Turks, although he did not command major operations, he made a major contribution to the division and disintegration of the Turks, the maintenance of tranquility in the northern border of the Sui Dynasty, and the promotion of ethnic integration with his outstanding strategy.

"Let's go, go back to the city." Wang Junlin burst into a loud shout and took the lead in urging his horse to leave, followed by two thousand cavalry, galloping towards Gaotai City.

Gaotai City belongs to Shandan County, Zhangye County, Yongzhou, in order to defend against the Western Turks for most of the year, the Great Sui built two strong castles of Dashi and Minle in Shandan County near the Western Turkic side, and Gaotai City is the horn of each other, no matter which city the Turks attack, they will be threatened by the other two walled cities. Among them, the Gaotai City, where Wang Junlin is located, is the main one, with 5,000 soldiers and horses, and Dashi and Minle each have only 1,500 men and horses, totaling 8,000 people.

In addition, from the easternmost Minle Fort to the east, more than 50 beacon towers were built on the Qilian Mountain along the first line of the Hexi Corridor, leading directly to Jincheng County.

In this way, when the Western Turkic army arrives, even if Gaotai City is defeated, it can tell Jincheng County, thousands of miles away, about the military situation as soon as possible. Now that Yongzhou Prefecture has moved to Jincheng, the temporary acting marching commander Yu Juluo and Chen Sansi are in Jincheng, and Jincheng is a permanent army of 50,000, hoarding grain and grass, armor, and arrows, which can support Zhangye County in the first time.

More than an hour later, Wang Junlin and his entourage returned to Gaotai City, and saw the tall city walls built by the mountain in Gaotai City from a distance.

On the city wall, Yu Juluo and Changsun Sheng looked at the hundreds of thousands of acres of fields surrounding Gaotai City, and the latter couldn't help but say: "Everyone in the court and the central government said that Wang Junlin was a rough and vicious martial artist, but who knew that such a martial artist led the people and soldiers of the whole city to reclaim hundreds of hectares of dry land on the plains outside the city in the past half a year. This move shows that this son is far-sighted and long-term. Thinking about it carefully, in more than two months, from a soldier to Captain Guoyi, how could such a person be just a rough martial artist. ”

Yu Juluo smiled and said, "It's just hundreds of hectares of dry land, and it can't produce much grain in a year, and the eldest grandson has praised this kid too much. ”

Changsun Sheng shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate this kid's move to reclaim the fields, this move can not only cultivate the fields, but also attract and recruit farmers from the three counties of Longxi, Tianshui, Jincheng, and even Guanzhong to cultivate here, increase the population, and at the same time, it can also solve the problem of military food to a certain extent." And when the Western Turkic army invaded, these people hid in the city of Gaotai to help defend the city. It's a win-win-win ”

Yu Juluo let out a long laugh, Wang Junlin naturally had his consent before reclaiming the field, how could he not know the benefits of this, when Wang Junlin said it to him, he was also very appreciative, but these words were seen by Changsun Sheng himself, and when he returned to Kyoto, he would tell His Majesty and the princes of the imperial court, which would greatly change the opinion of Emperor Sui and the court on Wang Junlin.

In the past half a year, I don't know if someone is fueling the troubles, or if the rumors have spread quickly, and now Wang Junlin has become a household name in Dasui. It's just that the three great deeds made by Wang Junlin are getting more and more outrageous, seriously slandering his reputation.

For example, he just used poison to make the 10,000 Dao Dao and Western Turk soldiers ineffective, and now it is rumored that Wang Junlin poisoned the 50,000 Ge Dao army and 50,000 Turkic soldiers.

It is rumored that he set fire to 200,000 Turkic soldiers, and he burned a hundred miles of Shuiquan Mountain to barrenness, and countless birds and beasts were burned to death by him.

Even if he led 5,000 men to destroy the Western Turkic logistics camp, it was also rumored to be different, exaggerated, and various versions appeared, one of which was that he poisoned the Wenfeng River and poisoned millions of Turkic cattle and sheep and hundreds of thousands of herdsmen, as well as tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers guarding cattle and sheep. There is also a version that Wang Junlin was a murderous man, and did not allow his soldiers to do anything, and after attacking the Western Turk logistics camp at night, he personally cut off the heads of millions of cattle and sheep and hundreds of thousands of herdsmen with a single knife.

Now Wang Junlin has a nickname that can be used by the people of the northwest to cure children's crying - poison general. This nickname is said to have spread from the army, and the nickname is actually appropriate, but the legend is in the ears of the people, and with those rumors, the perception of the people is different.

Seeing a group of cavalry galloping towards Gaotai City from a distance, Yu Juluo said: "This kid is back, it's windy here, Lord Changsun Sui, I'll go to the post station in the city and wait for him." ”

"It's okay, this is the first time the old man has seen this kid, although he is only a little Guoyi Du Lieutenant, but he doesn't dare to be rude to his poisonous general's name, hahaha......" Changsun Sheng made a joke and followed Yujuluo down the city.

"How is Princess Xinyi's health?" Yu Juluo asked with some concern.

Changsun Sheng's face suddenly sank, his face was full of sorrow, and said: "Although Princess Xinyi was originally the daughter of a clan and was selected by His Majesty to be crowned a princess, she has also been a pampered master since she was a child, and she is only sixteen years old, and her body is delicate. ”

Yukura frowned and said, "Is it possible to give the princess to the vultures like this, if it is just sent to the Turks, the princess will ......"

Changsun Sheng looked helpless and said: "Your Majesty's time is limited, the old man will wait in Gaotai City for seven days at most, and if the princess has not recovered from her illness after seven days, she can only go to the Turks to recuperate." ”

Yu Juluo shook his head and didn't speak, if the princess's illness could not be cured on the Great Sui's own territory and sent to the Turks, would the princess still be able to recover from her illness?

However, the key to this matter is that the Great Sui and the Western Turks have made peace, as long as the princess is in the hands of the Turks, this matter will be considered to be implemented, as for how long the princess can live, the Sui Emperor and the civil and military officials of the imperial court will be concerned.

The matter between the princess and her relatives is too big, but Yu Juluo is not good at saying much, and puts his mind back on Wang Junlin, who is about to meet.

Speaking of Wang Junlin's name as a poisonous general, Yu Juluo couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the world is unpredictable, and Wang Junlin's name as a poisonous general has also brought him some benefits, after all, he has just experienced the chaos of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, whether it is in the army, or the people, or even the imperial court, the wind of the weak and the strong is extremely prevalent. Wang Junlin's murderous reputation spread, although it was a little ugly, but it also made ordinary families and officials extremely jealous of Wang Junlin, and they didn't dare to easily calculate Wang Junlin behind his back if they couldn't kill him at once. Take the grain, grass and military resources of the 5,000 people in Gaotai City as an example, from the imperial court to Yongzhou, no one has ever deducted the civil officials at all levels, and the grain, grass and military resources of the other two castles are often eaten by the layers of kickbacks, and when they are sent down, only half is left.

As soon as Wang Junlin and his entourage entered the city gate, Zhou Hu, the captain on duty at the head of the city, smiled at him loudly and said, "General, Chief Yu and Lord Changsun Sheng are waiting for you at the post station." ”

In the past six months, Wang Junlin has carefully cultivated these old subordinates, and the most basic literacy is only one aspect, he built the sand table of later generations, and took these people to conduct tactical deductions when he had nothing to do, and studied the methods of training, leading and fighting. It can be regarded as a special job training for these deployments who were quickly promoted to mid-level officers with him. Of course, Wang Junlin also gained a lot in this process, and it can be regarded as a complete integration and understanding of the characteristics of the army in this era.

Wang Junlin did not dare to slack off, and quickly came to the post station for Shangguan to rest, a post station official at the door took the reins of Wang Junlin's war horse with a flattering face, but Wang Junlin ignored him, walked directly into the post station, passed through a rather simple garden, and arrived at a meeting room, only to see three people in the living room, one is Yu Juluo, the other is Changsun Sheng, and behind Changsun Sheng, there is also a young civil official of eighteen or nineteen years old, who looks handsome and handsome, has beautiful eyebrows, and is half a head smaller than Wang Junlin. The young civil official's eyes widened, and he looked at Wang Junlin curiously with Changsun Sheng.

Wang Junlin's eyes swept over, and he was also secretly curious about who this young civil official was, and he could stand behind Changsun Sheng.

His face was always as calm as a rock, Wang Junlin walked into the lobby quickly, knelt down on one knee and saluted Yu Juluo: "The last general, Wang Junlin, see the fish manager!" ”

Yu Juluo is not only Wang Junlin's top boss, but also has the grace of Wang Junlin, and also loves Wang Junlin very much, and at every opportunity, he will guide him as an official, lead troops to fight and martial arts, so that Wang Junlin has benefited a lot. In the past six months, the two have formed a deep relationship, and Wang Junlin also treats him as a close elder.

As he got to know Wang Junlin more deeply, Yu Juluo also liked Wang Junlin more and more, from the beginning of the attraction to focus on cultivation, and now as his son and nephew. However, Yu Juluo never showed this feeling, and treated Wang Junlin seriously as always, and even when Wang Junlin made a mistake, he scolded him more than before, and the requirements were stricter.

Now that Changsun Sheng was beside him, Yu Juluo regained the seriousness of his boss, nodded lightly and said: "Wang Junlin, this is the Hussar General of the Imperial Court's Zuoxun Guard, the Turkic ambassador personally appointed by His Majesty, and I haven't seen it yet." ”

Wang Junlin hurriedly bowed down and said, "The last general has seen General Changsun. ”

The etiquette of the lower level of the army kneeling on one knee when they see their superiors is actually the same as the salute of the lower levels of the army when they see their superiors in later generations, but it is actually to highlight the majesty of the superior and the strict side of the military hierarchy.
