Luo Zhaoyun was stunned when he heard this, the Turks invaded the border of the Great Sui again, it seems that this time, the scale is unprecedented, it seems that the Great Khan of Bujia is fully prepared, this time he will completely fight with the Great Sui, fight for the momentum of the overlord of the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The whole continent, in addition to the sea in the east, the jungle in the south, the polar region in the north, and the desert in the west, at present, in the eastern world, the two major powers, are only the steppe Turks and the Central Plains Great Sui, as for the southwest of Tubo, the northeast of Goguryeo and other countries, are all corners of this continent, unable to compete with the Turks, the Great Sui.
This time, both sides have mobilized an unprecedented number of troops, 300,000 Turkic cavalry, in addition, there are some other tribes, infantry soldiers of small countries in the Western Regions, etc., the number is close to 400,000, and the momentum is huge, and they are gathering on the grassland to force the border of the Sui Realm.
Emperor Wen of Sui has issued an edict that, in addition to the border guards, additional troops from more than 20 military towns in Dunhuang, Zhangye, Longxi, Wuyuan, Yulin and other places will be mobilized, and they will begin to assemble in the areas of Wuyuan and Lingwu to prepare for a counterattack against the Turks.
This battle is related to the general trend of the Central Plains and the grassland, and whoever wins can decide the stability and decline of the country, the society and the people.
The Great Khan of Bujia came prepared this time, focusing on encroaching on the Great Sui from the road to the Western Regions, burning and plundering, gathering a large amount of wealth, advancing outside the Yumen Pass, and was attacking fiercely, and at the same time along the Qilian Mountain, Helan Mountain, the ancient Great Wall, and the Wuyuan area, there were Turkic soldiers haunting, looking for opportunities to go south.
In order to contain part of the forces of the Great Sui, the Bujia Khan sent his nephew Tong Liva, who was a general, to lead a part of the army through the grassland and attack the Qimin Khan from the east of the desert, attracting the Sui troops in Yulin, Mayi, Dingxiang, Yanmen, and Loufu.
In this way, the main Turkic force is on the western front, waiting for the long-distance support of the Sui army, and if it can win a big victory and eliminate the living forces of the Great Sui, it can drive straight in, along the route of Xiping, Jincheng, Longxi, and Tianshui, and directly kill the rear of Chang'an City.
This is the Silk Road of the Sui Dynasty, and the Turkic army can advance while feeding the war with war, obtaining strategic materials and gold, silver and jewelry to reward the three armies, which is much more clever than directly attacking the defense lines of Helan Mountain, Wuyuan, and Lingwu in the past.
Emperor Wen of Sui sent Yang Su as the marching marshal, with the crown prince Yang Guang as the rear commander to support all military supplies and war preparations. On the other hand, Yang Liang was the marching marshal, supplemented by many generals, such as Zhang Dinghe of the Zhuguo, Li Yaowang, Yang Yichen, and even He Ruobi was pardoned by Emperor Wen of Sui and promoted and hired.
The news that Luo Zhaoyun got was not so detailed, but he still knew about the Turkic invasion of the Great Sui, and knew that in this battle, the Great Khan of Bujia would not be able to win no matter what, and he would be defeated, and even he himself defected to Tuyuhun.
However, the traces of history do not completely coincide with the time and details of the events he is familiar with, after all, there are too many errors in the history books, and it is very rare for the records to be credible.
"This is a good opportunity to join the army, not only can you hone yourself on the battlefield, but also have the opportunity to meet many historical ministers and generals, learn some marching experience, I have been familiar with the art of war, but unfortunately it is all on paper, not combined with reality, if you miss this opportunity, wait for the war on Goryeo, it will be seven or eight years later, and a lot of time will be wasted."
Luo Zhaoyun thought in his heart, and finally his eyebrows moved, his face was resolute, and he made a decision: that is, to go to the northwest to join the army, even if he started as a soldier, he could quickly learn a lot of experience.
After having this idea, Luo Zhaoyun went to Shi Danai and said his thoughts.
Shi Danai said: "Among the ranks, it is the most important place to train men, iron and courage, tempered into steel, you are in such a peaceful and prosperous world, if you want to win fame by yourself, the only way to seize the opportunity in front of you is to seize the opportunity in front of you, after all, there are too few big wars like this." ”
"I think so too, without further ado, the Sui army and the Turkic army are about to go to war, this is going to Yumen Pass, thousands of miles apart, I will ride alone, and I will rush with all my strength, and it will take more than ten days!" Luo Zhaoyun said.
Shi Danai nodded and said: "The Sui army is also being transferred, and it has not gathered enough troops, the commander of the Sui army will not start a full-scale war, and the two sides will only send the vanguard army to fight, seize the advantageous terrain, build fortifications, etc., you have Luma, rush there, it will definitely be in time, however, you can't go directly to the front line army to join the army, you have to find the rear of the front line to accept the recruitment location of the new army, and show the road guide or government soldier documents, in order to successfully enlist, otherwise I am worried that you are a spy without household registration." ”
"I understand, before leaving, I will ask the local mayor of Huai'an Town to issue a road guide, and with a letter of introduction recognized by the government, it will work." Luo Zhaoyun wrote it down.
"Aren't you going to discuss it with Luo Gong?"
"No, I'm worried that he won't let me go, after all, on the battlefield, the sword is ruthless, and if you sit up from a small soldier, my father won't agree."
Shi Danai sighed: "Indeed, you could have started as a soldier in Youzhou Mansion and directly served as the head of a capital governor, and you were promoted quickly, so you don't have to be so dangerous." ”
Luo Zhaoyun shook his head and smiled: "Hehe, relying on the shade, if you are promoted like this, you can't convince the public, and you can be protected at any time, everything is arranged properly, you can't really learn anything at all, only between life and death, the understanding is deep, not only martial arts, but also the real training of the army." ”
"When are you going to leave?"
"Tomorrow, there are some things I want to arrange."
After Luo Zhaoyun returned to the room, Ning Muhe was waiting, and when he saw him enter the room, he stood up and served him to change his clothes without hesitation, just like a little wife, her face was as gentle as water.
"Muhe, early tomorrow morning, pack up the packages and coils for me, bring enough dry food, and I will travel far away."
Ning Muhe sighed and asked curiously, "I just came back, why do you want to go out again?" ”
"I'm going to join the army this time!"
"What?" Ning Muhe's fingers trembled, and her body trembled slightly.
In the army, it is not a joke, a few people came back to fight in ancient times, and the men from ten miles and eight villages went to serve in the military, and seven or eight out of ten came back with bad news.
"No, Ah Lang, it's too dangerous!" Ning Muhe was anxious and couldn't help but comfort.
Luo Zhaoyun turned around and smiled slightly, his expression exuded strong confidence, and said: "Don't worry, I'm just going to hone it, without going through a bloody battle, how can I become a real man, hide in the rear, and be a rich and noble peaceman, it's not what I want!" ”
"But......" Ning Muhe looked frightened, but still couldn't rest assured.
"Mu He, don't persuade me, I hope you can support my decision and take care of the family's business for me, whether it is the cooperation with Fan Yang Lu's family, the expansion of restaurants and shops, or the training of those children, you must be careful, in the future, I will be of great use!"
Ning Muhe felt his burning gaze, as well as ardent hope, containing a strong sense of trust, she felt that she was about to be melted, nodded with tears, and said: "Ah Lang, I will definitely do my best to do it for you, but you have to promise the slave family that you must return safely, okay?" ”
Luo Zhaoyun smiled, nodded heavily, and said: "Of course, in the future, I will make contributions and get ahead, I must protect myself, accumulate so much wealth behind me, and I haven't enjoyed happiness yet, am I willing to go and never return?" ”
He smiled and patted Ning Muhe's shoulder, making her feel relieved, in fact, for the danger of the battlefield, Luo Zhaoyun is not absolutely sure that he can be safe, but if he doesn't go through it, he can't break the timidity and heart barrier in his heart, then he will never become a strong man, and the world will be in chaos in the future, how can he make a big difference?
