Chapter 10 Small Shoes Don't Just Wear One
The lonely, dilapidated and lifeless Dunhuang City became lively overnight.
Four or five hundred ragged Turks, shouting trumpets, lifted huge grinding discs and rammed the newly repaired walls.
The collapsed houses have been demolished, and countless stones and timbers have been transported to the city walls to serve as war materials.
Under the city walls, more than a dozen cauldrons exude bursts of aroma, and in the pots, the corn that has not been burned to ashes is tormented by boiling hot water, turning into a viscous gelatinous substance, and then melted into the mud and sand like mixed withered grass.
From the words of the black-armored knight, Yang Shuang knew that Wu Kun and them were fine, and while he was relieved, he also despised those armor soldiers who took off their arms, led cattle and horses, and carried water back from the south like slaves.
Traitor!
He even threw away his weapons and surrendered to the alien race!
Even if you want to be like yourself and be a traitor to save the country, you can't work so hard.
Traitor, full traitor!
Knowing this, he shouldn't have told the black-armored knight the story of the spring water in Mingsha Mountain in the first place!
Going deep into the city, the number of people gradually decreased, and soon they came to the city lord's mansion built of wooden beams.
It is very broken, ventilated on all sides, and it is a straw shed to describe it simply.
After the ruins in front of the door were leveled, a large open space was set aside, which was covered with all kinds of war equipment, which seemed to be the equipment that had been collected after the last war, all here!
There were six or seven old men scattered in the clearing, working hard to sharpen their knives and guns, and there were also a dozen old women, mending their clothes and armor.
Seeing this, Yang Shuang's doubts poured into his mind again.
The Turks are skilled in all bows and horses, although they use the tribe as a combat unit, and all the people are soldiers, but when they fight, it is impossible to carry their father and mother.
With cranky thoughts, Yang Shuang entered the City Lord's Mansion.
In the narrow courtyard, Wu Kun and the four of them, dressed in coarse linen clothes, were side by side, their faces were full of sadness, like quasi-eunuchs who had forcibly twisted and were about to be sent to the palace for castration.
Yang Shuang was very relieved, it is not terrible to lose the country, what is terrible is to lose faith and national blood, the merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river, how ironic!
Seeing the appearance of the four younger brothers, he immediately encouraged: "Where there is oppression, there is resistance, brothers, don't be discouraged!" Shi Da knows that 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, we have to endure now, and there will be many opportunities in the future! The man is ninety-nine, and he should chop off all the dogs! Cheer up, let's face a better tomorrow together! ”
"Woo woo·········"
However, hearing this, the four of them not only did not get excited like chicken blood, but howled and cried.
Yang Shuang shook his head and sighed, the work of the political commissar is really not easy to do, so he simply ignored the four of them and walked into the grass shed with his feet raised.
The black-armored knight Dama Jindao sat in front of the main hall, resembling the statue of the god enshrined in his hometown in the countryside, and when he saw the people who came in, he pointed to the stools on both sides, "Sit!" ”
"May I ask the Lord, when will I be on my way?" Yang Shuang really wanted to leave here, he hated the feeling of holding his life in someone else's hands!
Leaving Dunhuang, the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps.
Whether you are a horse thief, a bandit, or a rebel army in the future, you can recruit troops and buy horses and continue to grow!
When the time comes, the recapture of Dunhuang will be just around the corner.
The black-armored knight was expressionless, staring at Yang Shuang for a long time before he took out three items from his arms and said, "Do you think the army is so easy to move?" Oh, military orders, military cards, and your bamboo messengers! ”
The three items are all made of copper, the size of a military order, and the five small seals of "Dunhuang Commander's Order" are engraved on the top. The appearance of the military card is the same as that of the military order, but the text is the three big characters of "Yumen Pass".
The last item, only the size of a thumb, made Yang Shuang a little familiar, and immediately remembered that in the gray space, the thoughtless coachman, that is, the exclusive general soul!
Although the soul has no substance, the organizational structure is no different from ordinary people, whether it is clothing or accessories, all are vivid.
In the waist of the soul, there is a small cloth bag, very delicate, if it is a real thing, Yang Shuang will definitely not be able to observe what is inside, fortunately, the light blue light does not block the view, one day he was curious, carefully observed, and saw the three small words "An Gongshuang".
After thinking about it for a long time, I knocked on the side from Wu Kun's side and listened, only to know that this is an ancient ID card!
Later, he obtained the soldier soul, but he did not find the same cloth bag again, so he suspected that the identity of the general soul before his death may be very high!
Touching the copper talisman in his hand, Yang Shuang sighed with emotion, and finally got out of the black household.
In this way, walking the rivers and lakes in the future can be regarded as having a road guide.
After two months of making up for it, Yang Shuang already knows many rules.
The Great Sui is not like the Tang Dynasty, and it is also very different from the subsequent dynasties.
Drawing lessons from three centuries of darkness, the reigning emperor did not "ban arms" or restrict the people from permanent residence.
For example, in the north, almost every household has a horizontal sword, a shield in every household, and occasionally some spears and spears can be found, which is because of the Turkic threat and the inevitable result of the military system.
Of course, bows and crossbows, as well as large weapons, need to be managed by the guard.
Another is that in the recruitment method of the Great Sui, in addition to the government soldiers, soldiers, and armor soldiers, there is also a road to the sky, Xiaoguo!
Each guard will select brave and good warriors from the people to fill the "Royal Guard", that is, the future Xiaoguo Army.
The naturalization of displaced people, the migration of poor peasants, the soldiers of the government, the soldiers of Wubian, the selection of Xiaoguo, etc., the household registration will definitely be chaotic, so the "bamboo messenger" stands out.
The "bamboo talisman" is divided into two parts, one is placed in the place of household registration, and the other is carried with you.
If there is no "bamboo messenger", it is estimated that he can only stay in his hometown, even if he goes out of the county seat, he may sit through the prison and be interrogated from time to time.
"Bamboo messengers" are divided into gold, silver, copper, bamboo, four materials, gold is naturally the emperor and the prince, silver is the official, copper is below the six grades, and the common people are bamboo.
It seems that he has joined the army!
"Thank you, Master!" Regardless of how the black-armored knight is, at least solve a big trouble for himself, Yang Shuang is sincerely grateful, and at the same time decided in his heart that when the cow breaks in the future, he will build a big tomb for this goods, which is the same as Qin Hui.
"Thank you for that! The military situation is urgent, set off today, and within two days, you must arrive at Yumen Pass! ”
"Then, may I ask where the war master, the war horse, and the armament are?"
"The war horse has been sent to you outside the West Gate, as for the armament, due to the serious damage to the armor now, it is temporarily lacking!"
As early as when he entered the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Shuang had already noticed that Wu Kun and the others had been disarmed, and now when he heard this, he was not disappointed, nodded and turned around.
Wearing small shoes, can I wear one for you?
Leave Dunhuang as soon as possible, maybe there will be some moths in the future.
"Big brother!"
Outside the grass shed, Wu Kun and the four of them opened their mouths to speak, but they were stopped by Yang Shuang, patted Shi Da on the shoulder, and took the lead towards the west gate.
No matter what the conspiracy of the black-armored knight is, he has no ability to crack it now, and only by becoming strong can he not be a pawn!
However, after Yang Shuang, who was open-minded by nature, walked out of the west gate, he saw the appearance of the war horse clearly, and almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood.
Donkey!
It turned out to be a donkey!
Sure enough, it's impossible to wear only one pair of shoes!
