The autumn wind rises, the top felt tents in the wilderness rise one after another, the smoke rises in the fire between the felt tents, and there are rangers wandering around the periphery from time to time, which is the camp of the Turkic army attacking the Sui State.

A dozen horsemen galloped towards the camp from the east, stopping them at the outskirts of the rangers, and after a few moments, the rangers dispersed and entered the camp directly.

In the big tent, a richly dressed man was eating a roast leg of mutton, and a person outside the tent came in to report that he had caught Sui Jun Xizuo, and the man asked how many people he had caught, and when he learned that there was only one person and claimed to see him, he threw the leg of mutton and sneered: "It's so bold, I want to see what kind of person it is." ”

A moment later, footsteps sounded outside the tent, and the man drank buttermilk and waited for the bold fine work to be brought in, since the south, there were countless desperate Sui army fine works to spy on the military situation, but it was the first time to see those who dared to come alone.

One person was tied in by the five flowers, the man looked at the other party with interest, was about to speak mockingly but was stunned, and then suddenly jumped up and rushed to the other party.

"Bold! Licentious! Hurry up and untie it! He shouted loudly, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but look at each other, and the man saw a group of people stunned, so he pulled out his pocket knife, and cut the rope on Sui Jun's body with three strikes and five divisions.

"Brother Ji Sheng, my bunnies are all blind, don't take it to heart." The man enthusiastically pulled the other party to the upper seat, "Why don't you say hello if you want to come." ”

"The two countries are at war, why bother Ye Hu?" Changsun Sheng said with a smile, changed his previous dejected appearance, and sat down with the man with a big grin, Ji Sheng is his word.

The person in front of him was a Turkic nobleman, Ye Hu of the Khanate, and he was the younger brother of the current Shabalu Khan, that is, the Luo Hou of Ashina, and he was also a friend of Changsun Sheng in the Turks.

"Where to speak, others are one thing, you, is another!" Chu Luohou said with a smile, this is an admirable hero in front of him, a hero who killed two eagle owls with one arrow.

The eagle archers on the grassland are one in a hundred, and there are almost no people who can kill two birds with one stone, but the good man in front of him has done it, although he is a native of Zhou, but it also makes the Turkic nobles admire.

No, now he is from the Sui State, but Chu Luohou doesn't care, if the Khan breaks through Chang'an and gains a firm foothold in the Central Plains, he thinks that Changsun Sheng must be a high-ranking official.

"Why are you here alone?" Chu Luohou asked, he heard that Changsun Sheng was reused by the Sui Lord, so he wondered how the other party could come here recklessly, and besides, with the other party's martial arts, I am afraid that as long as he wants to withdraw, no one will be able to stop him.

"It's useless to come with a follower, I want to see the Khan, and ask Ye Hu for a favor." Changsun Sheng directly expressed his intentions, "The two countries will only lose when they fight, Your Majesty asked me to meet the Khan"

"Brother Ji Sheng, could it be that you have offended someone?" Chu Luohou was stunned when he heard this, "What's the use of coming to the Khan at this time?" ”

The Khanate's army went south, not just a few words can be sent away, Changsun Sheng came alone to persuade the Khan to withdraw the army, the only thing Luo Hou could think of was to be framed by the villain, force him to see the Turkic Great Khan and then borrow a knife to kill.

"Don't say anything, stay here, Lord Sui is blind and let you die, I won't watch you unlucky!"

"Khan is a reasonable person, he won't harm my life, Ye Hu don't worry." Changsun Sheng said with a smile.

"But it's a different story!" Chu Luohou shouted, "She is bent on asking the Khan to invade Chang'an and avenge her father and brother!" ”

He saw that Changsun Sheng looked disapproving, so he was so anxious that he grabbed the other party and said: "Good brother, it's not me who scared you, now the Khan is obedient to Kedunhe, you have to go"

He paused to look outside and said; "If you want to go, wait a while, it's not right now!"

"But Tsuruga wants revenge, and no matter how long he waits, his mind will not change." Changsun Sheng said, "Ye Hu, our army has already mobilized elites to meet the battle, if we fight with the Khan and lose both, will Apo Khan let go of this opportunity after returning to the grassland?" ”

Ke Dunhe, is two years ago Zhou State married to the princess of the Khan of the bowl, not long after the Khan died of illness, according to the custom of the successor of the Khan of Sha Bo Luo married her, the princess is the daughter of Zhao Wang Yu Wenzhao of the Zhou State, and the Sui Emperor Yang Jian has a grudge against his father.

"I know this, but the Khan is anxious to make great contributions to the south this time, and if the Khan retreats, he will take advantage of it."

"Ye Hu, it's autumn now." Changsun Sheng said, "The two sides have been facing each other all the time, what do you eat in the Sui Kingdom in winter?" ”

"Who says it's not, the Khan also knows that the war has dragged on for a long time, it's just" Chu Luohou coughed dryly and said, everyone is smart, the Turkic army has gone deep into the Central Plains for too long, although the Sui army has suffered some defeats, but its strength is not small, and there are a considerable number of troops in the rear of the Turkic army.

Those Sui troops are still mainly cavalry, once the Turkic army is blocked in the front and the back road is attacked and disturbed, it will not be good, although it is not impossible to break through and return to the grassland, but after the strength is damaged, I am afraid that the sky will change.

"If you want to rush your head, let him rush, and hit your head to break the blood." After Changsun Sheng finished speaking, he got up, he solemnly saluted and said, "Your Majesty asked me to meet the Khan to state the benefits, don't let others benefit!" ”

"Ouch, my good brother, are you in a hurry to die?" Chu Luohou pulled the other party down and sat down, "But Dunga is being favored now, if she sends someone to kill you, the khan will be angry for a few days." ”

"Listen to me, stay here in peace, and wait until the battle situation changes, and then you will go to the Khan to discuss." He picked up a leg of mutton and handed it to Changsun Sheng, "It's been more than half a year, but you have to reminisce about the past." ”

"Then bother." Changsun Sheng took the leg of mutton, which was exactly what he wanted, that is, to stay here and watch the changes.

It is impossible to say that the enemy army has retreated completely by lip service, and what cannot be obtained on the battlefield can not be obtained by mouth alone, and the Turkic army can only be at ease among the khans when it hits its head and breaks its blood.

The new successor to the throne of Shabalu Khan urgently needed to wage a war to prove his strength, and the western khan of the Turkic Khanate, Datou Khan, also wanted to take this opportunity to make meritorious contributions to increase his prestige.

Now these three are leading the troops south together, and on the surface they seem to be intimate, but when the war is unfavorable, there will be intrigue, and only then can they be divided into four or two.

After eating a few bites of roast mutton, Changsun Sheng said goodbye and said that he would go back first, and send away the entourage who came with him, and at the same time to report his safety so as not to worry his family, Chu Luohou did not think so.

"Lord Sui is really, why don't you send some bold ones to come with you, just let a few timid ones go back to report the news, and the others will stay with me!"

"Don't, if Ye Hu has three longs and two shorts, some people will say that I will harm you with my subordinates." Changsun Sheng waved his hand.

"It's okay, if you want to kill me, do you need to find help?" Chu Luohou laughed, "Let them come, I'll help you train and train well!" ”……

Xiyang City, the Hulin Army Barracks, Bazhou Thorn Shi Yuwen Wenwen was 'nodding his head', and in front of him was a crowd of black oppression.

Today is a happy payday, now that the war is over, the army has returned to the camp, just when the salary is awarded to the soldiers, Yu Wenwen incarnated as a boy who scattered wealth, first went to Yanji on the south bank and Wuzhou in the river to pay the military salary, and then returned to the Jiangbei military camp to continue to scatter wealth.

The soldiers of the Hulin Army in Yanji and Wuzhou are unwilling to take military salaries, not that they don't want to, but they are now stationed abroad and it is useless, and they have to bring it back to Jiangbei when it comes to the rotation, so Yuwenwen took a boat and walked around without sending out a string of money, and the soldiers all trusted the commander, so they all declared that they would receive it after they went back.

The soldiers' thoughts were very direct: when they were stationed, the food was provided for free, and they had no place to spend money, anyway, Yuwen Envoy Jun would definitely not drink the blood of the soldiers, so he would go back and get it again to avoid trouble.

Yu Wenwen is not idle, he will not be bored enough to run around with a boat pulling heavy copper coins, as the so-called 'integrity-based', he wants to let the soldiers see that the military salary is paid on time, of course, there is another one that is the same as the previous month, that is, the military salary is paid by him personally.

So now Yu Wenwen kept nodding his head and bowing, the herald kept reading his name, and the soldiers gathered in the school yard came to the stage as soon as they heard their names, and Yu Wenwen personally offered the military salary with both hands, and at the same time said some words of encouragement.

It's a bit fleshy and a little pretentious, but Yu Wenwen has insisted on it since last year, unless it is a special situation where the army is fighting outside, he has insisted on it for more than a year.

Excluding the soldiers stationed abroad, there are nearly 3,000 officers and men in the barracks today. If the time that Yuwen Wen spends on each person is counted as five seconds, a set of processes will take fifteen thousand seconds, that is, more than four hours (two hours).

In view of this, the soldiers did not all assemble together in the school yard, but according to the usual practice, they came out one by one, so that they could see the salaries of their comrades in the previous building, and they did not have to wait too long.

Nodding his head like this, he tossed for two hours to make Yuwenwen suffer a lot, and Yuwenwen was about to kneel after the last soldier's salary.

His arms were heavy and he could barely lift them, his waist felt like he was about to break, and his legs were numb to stand.

Of course, there is also the state Sima Yang Ji, in a few days the state soldiers will be paid, this one will have to suffer, Yuwenwen has always liked to pit his subordinates, naturally he will not let go of Yang Ji, who works hard and complains, the hearts of the Hulin Army are his counterscales, and the hearts of the state soldiers let Yang Ji help watch it doesn't matter.

Forced to take a turn in the barracks, Yu Wenwen boarded the carriage and left, since the master sent by his cheap father-in-law Yang Jian to Xiyang successfully lurked, under the strong request of the 'insider' Zhang Dingfa, he traveled in the city by carriage.

It is also thanks to the carriage, and as soon as the door is closed, Yu Wenwen collapsed instantly, and it is said that he has already practiced his body in the monthly military salary, but in the past few days, he has been fighting too much with the 'enemy commander' Wei Chi Chifan's 'night battle', and his state is different from the past.

"Long legs" Yu Wenwen was a little distracted, rubbing his waist while taking out a kettle to drink, he was hesitating whether to hang up the battle exemption card tonight, and if he continued like this, he would not be able to deal with the 'enemy deputy marshal' Yang Lihua.

Ploughing the fields is manual work, but fortunately there are only two fields now

The carriage stopped in the middle of the struggle, Zhang Yu whispered outside that it had arrived, Yuwen Wen trembled when he heard this, and after the door was opened, he stepped out of the car, and in front of him was an endless rice field.

The yellow wheat waves fluctuated with the wind, don't drive Xu Shao to lead the officials to wait at the edge of the field for a long time, and the crowd around them was surging It was the smiling Xiyang people, Yu Wenwen nodded and took the sickle handed by Xu Shao, and pointed to the rice field in front of him and shouted: "The autumn harvest begins!" ”

The battle of the autumn harvest has officially begun. (To be continued.) )
