Chapter 88: Shi Da's second uncle
The main general of the Xiongqu army rushed to aid Dunhuang is a bit inexplicable, coming fast and going fast.
It wasn't until the second day that the Dunhuang warlord arranged for people to repair the earth city, and Yang Shuang knew the truth.
Liu Fang led 5,000 heavy cavalry and 5,000 armor soldiers, took Dunhuang when the Western Turks retreated, took a little rest and recuperated lightly, went north along the dark water, bypassed the Alxa Desert, and raided the north of Yinshan Mountain by means of the Turks!
The total distance is thousands of miles, and if it succeeds, it can definitely be called a surprise attack.
The western Datou retreated, and the central Apo also retreated, only Sha Boluo went deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains alone, and it is estimated that this time he will not die and retreat.
Provided, of course, that there are no surprises.
The lord of Dunhuang showed his military exploits, and Yang Shuang's post of Guan Ling has become a real position, just waiting for the court to reward him again.
But what hurts is that Guan Ling seems to be quite idle.
Yumen Pass was still taken care of by Guan Cheng and the bearded guest, while Yangguan was owned by Guan Cheng Ding Yanping, so he became idle.
Dunhuang is in ruins, and the Dunhuang lord is so busy that he has no time to pay attention to someone.
In the early morning of this day, in the newly built city lord's mansion.
"Wokuth, Waller, Oh Puraiye·····"
Yang Shuang's tongue curled, and he raised his tongue for a while and flattened his tongue for a while. In his previous life, as a native of southwestern Lu, he said that it was really difficult to learn ancient foreign languages.
"I don't want to learn!"
"As a border guard, how can you only speak one language?" After the Western Turks retreated, Tush completely changed his appearance, saying nothing, talking about everything, even a little chattering, as long as there was no one around, the old guy yelled.
"Old man, tell me the truth, are you very timid?"
"Joke, the old man has been fighting in the south and the north for decades, and Khorezm was conquered by a certain family with troops, you actually call me cowardly?"
Yang Shuang's face was full of contempt, "Otherwise, you will be left alone tonight, and all the guards at the door will be removed for you!" ”
"You're not afraid that I'll run away?"
"Dunhuang is so big, the city walls are full of armor, where can you run?" Yang Shuang said, got up and walked out.
"Don't!" Tush was a little panicked, walked quickly to the door, shrunk his head and observed for a moment, and then whispered: "There is an eagle in the sky watching, and Datou wants to kill me!" ”
"Huh?" Yang Shuang was slightly stunned, looking at the sky, there was indeed a black dot hovering, but there was no ultra-long-range sniper rifle, "Datou wants to kill his own brother?" ”
"What is this, if you can sit on the position of the Great Khan, let alone your brother, these barbarians can even kill your father!" Before Tush could reply, the voice of the Dunhuang warlord sounded outside the door, "Tushi Lao'er, the saint said, spare your dog's life, there are 800 soldiers in the city, you take one back to the western Turks!" ”
"General Sui, I appreciate your kindness, I'm very good here!" Tush was unmoved.
"Dunhuang doesn't raise idlers!"
········
The New Year is approaching, but there is no celebration in Dunhuang, and the soldiers are all busy repairing the city wall.
This is the border pass, which seems to be no different from the border post in the previous life.
"In the spring of the second year of the emperor's reign, 582, it should be this year." Lying on the rocking chair, feeling the warmth brought by the sun, Yang Shuang was drowsy, and the Samoyed dog next to him had cow dung on his head, glaring at the strange cow swinging his ass at the door, and he didn't dare to take a step out of the door.
Tush eventually left.
Also disappeared was the black spot in the air, and I don't know if this old guy will return to the prairie alive.
In the holy decree from the court, there was not the slightest news of promotion and wealth, which made Yang Shuang a little disappointed.
You must know that in the details of the merits, he alone has won more than ten Turkic generals, and he has accumulated military exploits, even if he can't sit on the six products and four expeditions (the east, the south, the west, and the north), he can also mix from the six products and four flats, right? (Pingdong, Pingnan, Pingxi, Pingbei.) )
Carefully calculated, it is now the ninth grade, which is from eight to eight, from seven to seven, and then from six to six, this is the rhythm of five or six levels!
Thinking of this, a picture involuntarily appeared in Yang Shuang's mind.
In the majestic city lord's mansion, the lord of Dunhuang looked like a servant, holding a bright tea bowl, bowing to someone above, "Serve tea to the big guy." ”
"Hey, hey, hey..."
"The official is getting bigger and bigger, thinking back to the past, Lao Tzu's team just opened......"
"Big Brother !!"
"What's wrong?"
Shi Da's earth-shattering roar woke up Yang Shuang, who was humming a small song, thinking that the Turkic army was going and returning, he suddenly jumped up and hit his head on the low door frame.
"Big brother, save my second uncle!!"
"Second uncle? Where did you come from? "Yang Shuang is a little confused, this product really has an uncle!
"My second uncle is an official in the court, and he was demoted because he was implicated, and he was assigned to Dunhuang to defend the border, and he will come soon, this is a family letter." Shi Da's face was like ashes, and he trembled and handed over the envelope in his hand. "Our family of historians lives in the mountains, and almost all of them are dry fields, they can't eat enough, they don't have warm clothes, and they all rely on the second uncle's money to subsidize the family, and now they are degraded, how should we live in the future."
Yang Shuang took the letter and saw the letter: nephew Shi Dana opened it in person.
"Your name is not Shi Da?"
"My name is Shi Da, Dana is my nickname, after my big (father) died, the clansmen pity me for not having enough to eat, often tell me what to eat and take what, gradually, Dana became my nickname."
"It's obviously a nickname!" Yang Shuang pursed his lips, there was not much said in the letter, just that Shi Da's second uncle received a little money from others and sent it back to the clan as a subsidy. Who would have thought that the person who gave him the money followed General Erzhuji to play a rebellion, and his second uncle would also be implicated.
Conspiracy?
Anyone who involves the word rebellion is already very good if he survives.
Yang Shuang waved his hand indifferently to quiet the panicked man, "What's the panic, we are brothers, your second uncle is my second uncle!" Don't worry, since you have come to our territory, can you still make our second uncle suffer? When the team of escort guards arrives in Dunhuang, you take the second uncle to the Yumen Pass, regardless of how many years you have been guarding the border, the thatched house, the fence yard, the idle and nothing to do, the birds and vegetables, the big deal is to take the second aunt over! ”
"Forehead......" Shi Da suddenly came to his senses, patted his head, scratched his scalp and said with a smile: "Yes, we are now officials, I have become a partial general, and eldest brother, you are in charge of the two important customs orders, hehe." ”
"Go, go, go, what to do!" Yang Shuang couldn't cry or laugh.
"By the way, big brother, we arranged for the brothers who are lost in Ma, there is no food!"
"So fast? I remember when they left, they took all the baggage from Yumen Pass! ”
"Big brother, that's 1,800 people, training and hard work, eating and drinking every day is terrifying, and you don't know that our brother's amount of food is almost four or five times more than that of normal people!"
Truly!
Yang Shuang nodded, after fusing the soldier soul, no matter how thin or weak the body is, he needs to supplement the consumption of the soldier soul by eating, eating more and eating less, not in the amount of personal food, but in the time and intensity of using the soldier soul.
It's like a mecha in the movie, if you want to start, you have to charge it, or you don't use it.
But others fuse the soul of the soldier, unlike Yang Shuang, once it is fused, it is used all the time, and it is also very rogue and lacks energy, so it will force the host to eat with hunger.
"The Western Turks have withdrawn their troops, and, according to Tush Lao'er, Datou is going to war with Persia, and it is estimated that he will not be able to take care of the Western Regions for the time being!"
Yang Shuang walked to the desk as he spoke, spread out the real marching map sent to him by the Dunhuang Commander, pointed at Yi Jian and said, "If you don't have food, grab it!" ”
