Chapter 329: Wolf Ambition
Eight hundred Turkic soldiers, called escorts, were actually escorted, and the Etun special service was almost tied up.
Therefore, no matter how much anger there was in the heart of the Etun special service, there was no way to attack, so he could only obediently leave Yudu Jinshan with Xue Shao and others, and walked into the vast grassland and desert.
With three thousand Han slaves, Xue Shao couldn't imagine how much torture and suffering they endured during the days of being captured and enslaved. When these people walked out of the Turkic army camp in Dujin Mountain, everyone knelt on the ground and cried loudly, bowing to Xue Shao and the others again and again, as if they had met a god from heaven to help the suffering.
It took Xue Shao and the others a lot of effort to persuade the 3,000 Hanmin to come over, and organized them into detachments one by one, and assigned temporary captains among them to be responsible for the management along the way. At the same time, the guards of the Three Blades Brigade were also scattered in various squads to maintain law and order.
The 3,000 Han people handed over to Xue Shao by Ashdwin Fu were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and faced with the fact that they were not given horses. This was tantamount to three thousand big burdens for Xue Shao, and Xue Shao had to be distracted to take care of them along the way. Moreover, Xue Shao's heart knew very well that if they had any bad moves, these 800 Turkic soldiers could become executioners at any time and kill these Han people.
All in all, Asdwin had absolutely no good intentions.
The Etun service had been under close surveillance and detention, and he had no chance of coming into contact with anyone other than a few Turkic soldiers who were guarding him.
The brigade walked for four or five days, but it was only one or two hundred miles. Xue Shao's heart was also secretly a little anxious, go on at this speed, before we get to Shuozhou, I'm afraid that the children of Ashdwin Fu and Ai Yan will be born!
So, Xue Shao thought of a way, he must see the Etun special service as soon as possible.
In the evening of the same day, the brigade stopped and set up camp to rest. Before leaving, Ashdwin Fu gave enough food, cattle and sheep, and wine. The Han people dug stoves and buried them in pots to cook, and the Turkic soldiers slaughtered cattle and sheep to roast food.
Xue Shao called the people of the Three Swords Brigade and told them to bring out all the fine wine, and then set up a large bonfire in the field, and exchanged the dragon anointing wine of the Tang Army from the Turks for cattle and sheep to slaughter and roast on the fire.
Then, Xue Shao took the guards of the Three Knife Brigade and many people around the fire to eat meat and drink wine, and several guards also stripped naked and played "horn fighting", which won a round of applause.
The Turks not far away were a little puzzled when they saw this scene, how could the Han people follow our example and play a night fire carnival?
The atmosphere gradually became warmer, and many Hermes-Epitek people came to see the excitement, and the inner and outer three floors were surrounded by water. Many Han people grazing on the grasslands danced cheerfully, singing and dancing. The warriors who arrived at the horns also became more energetic, and the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers from time to time.
Xue Shao asked people to go to the Turks again to exchange cattle and sheep, and gave them more wine from the Central Plains.
The Turks finally couldn't help but ask, what are you doing here?
The guard of the Three Swords Brigade replied, today is our birthday of General Xue, and we are celebrating him! Anyone who goes to congratulate General Xue on his birthday can ask for good wine and rewards, do you want to go over?
The Turks were moved. Originally, they were particularly fond of wrestling, night fire, and singing and dancing, and they were able to win prizes, so why not?
At that moment, more than a dozen Turks came back with the people of the Three Blades Brigade and blended into the crowd to watch the excitement.
When Xue Shao saw that a Turkic person was coming, he immediately gave Guo An and a few other people who were the best at cornering.
Guo An immediately understood, came to the field drunk, patted his chest and shouted loudly: "If you want to talk about the corner, I, Guo An, am invincible in the world!" - Who dares to disagree! β
Everyone laughed and said that he was drunk and bragging.
Xue Shao stood up and said with a smile: "Don't be unconvinced. Among all of us, Guo Anjiao is the most powerful! - Whoever doesn't believe it, come out and give it a try! If he wins, I will reward him with a hundred horses of silk! β
"Wow-" The crowd exclaimed, what a lot of money!
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and immediately a guy from the Three Swords Brigade jumped out, "General Xue gave such a heavy reward, I just know that I am not as good as Brother Guo An, and I have to give it a try!" β
Guo Anha smiled, "Little mouse, come here!" Watch me throw you out of the coffin with your tail! β
Everyone laughed together, and the guard's nickname was indeed Little Mouse.
The two went over the bar and soon fell together. Guo An is really powerful, and he smashes the little mouse with three strokes and five divisions by two.
Guo An smiled proudly, "General Xue, why don't you reward me with the hundred colored silks!" Behold, there are thousands of people in the field, and not one of them is my opponent! β
"Don't be too arrogant, you kid." Xue Shao scolded with a smile, "There are people outside the sky, you will suffer a big loss!" β
The drunken Guo An laughed with a smile on the strength of the wine, "Who, who can defeat me?" Stand up, but you stand up! β
"I'm coming!"
With a loud shout, a Turkic man with a tall ox and a horse jumped out, spoke Chinese that he was not fluent in, and said loudly: "General Xue, is it possible that anyone who defeats him can be rewarded with a hundred colored silks?" β
"Of course." Xue Shao beckoned, and Yue Nu and another guard immediately carried out a hundred colored silks and placed them neatly in front of Xue Shao.
The silk of the Tang Dynasty was not only used to make expensive clothes, but also a hard currency, just like silver in the Ming and Qing dynasties. According to the current market value, Xue Shao took out this kind of fine colored silk, each horse of silk can be worth 300 yuan. One hundred horses of silk, that's 30,000 yuanβclose to the purchasing power of 100,000 yuan now.
For ordinary people and soldiers, it is undoubtedly a huge amount of money!
The Turkic soldier's eyes really lit up and he was overjoyed, and immediately stripped off the clothes on his upper body to reveal a body of refined muscles and thick chest hair, and stood with Guo An in a shelf pose.
Xue Shao secretly gave Guo An a look - beat him!
In a cheer, the two of them started.
When it comes to wrestling, it is true that the Turks are better at it than the Han Chinese. But Guo Ana is not an ordinary person, he has practiced his skills with Xue Shao for so long, not to mention anything else, just a simple move to defeat the enemy can kill this Turkic man in an instant!
Therefore, after only two or three rounds of fighting, Guo An used a clever hand to knock the Turks to the ground, and he fell quite hard, dizzy and dizzy for a long time without coming back to his senses.
The surrounding Hanmin cheered loudly and cheered. In their opinion, the significance of this victory and defeat is far from being as simple as a fight, which obviously brings a lot of new and old hatreds!
The Turkic soldiers were very faceless and retreated in shame.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Immediately another Turk jumped out.
There was no suspense, Guo An put him to the ground in three or two clicks.
Hermes-Epitek's cheers resounded in the night sky, and the situation was as if the Tang Dynasty had returned from a great victory, and it was really exciting!
This movement obviously alarmed a large number of Turkic soldiers not far away. Their leader immediately sent someone to check on them, and when they asked, they learned that their soldiers were disgraced here.
Guo An relied on the strength of the wine and shouted at the opportunity: "Aren't the Turks known as the best wrestling, isn't there any of you eight hundred people who can wrestle, all of them are soft-footed bastards?" β
These words aroused the belligerent heart of the Turks. Immediately, countless Turks surrounded him, and they all jumped into battle to clean up Guo An.
Xue Shao saw this scene, and the fire was ready. So he immediately stood up and said: "Everyone, today is the day of Xue's mother's disaster, just a small gathering to celebrate, don't hurt the harmony because of the wine." Guo An, these 100 colored silks belong to you, you can step down! β
"Yes, General!" Guo An naturally agreed.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and a big man jumped out of the Turks, glaring at Xue Shao with tiger eyes, and said loudly: "General Xue, this person has insulted our eight hundred Turks, and can he be so kind to rest?" β
Xue Shao smiled coldly, "What, do you still want to bully others and fail to start a war with me?" β
Of course, the surrounding Han people are helping the Tang army, and they immediately shouted passionately, saying that the Turkic people are not as good as people, but they have to rely on the fact that there are more people and bully fewer people, and you have the ability to pull out people and horses to come to Shuozhou City to fight a decisive battle with my Tang Dynasty!
When the Turks heard this, this was not a good situation. If you quarrel over a trivial matter and hurt the peace, it will ruin the Khan's big thing. So they immediately said, "We have no intention of provoking trouble. It's just that this Tang Jun is too arrogant, we want to challenge him! β
"Still a horn?" Xue Shao smiled and waved his hand repeatedly, "Forget it, none of you are his opponents, don't be hurt by him!" β
The Turks immediately cried outβ
"Yes, we have!"
"Our Etun special service is the most heroic warrior on the grassland, especially good at wrestling!"
Xue Shaoha's big smile said, "There is no basis for what you say, let your special service come up and have a competition!" β
"Good!"
Most of the Turks who have fallen for the radical method think that all of us are gathered here, and nothing will go wrong. So, they immediately invited the Etun special service over.
Etun Special Service was as anxious as Xue Shao, always looking forward to a foreign aid to appear and help him get out of trouble at this time.
Surrounded by 800 sergeants, he could no longer be trusted. At present, the only foreign aid that the Etun Special Service can think of can only be Xue Shao.
So, when he learned that he was going to be called to participate in the battle with the Tang Army, the heart of the Etun special service was indescribably excited!
Xue Shao quietly watched as the tall Etun agent came out of the crowd and looked into his eyes.
The eyes of the Etun agent were as hot as this pile of burning flames, and it seemed that he was making some kind of "request" to Xue Shao that could only be understood!
Xue Shao smiled at him and nodded slightly.
Etun Agent suddenly felt like he had taken a reassuring pill, and he smiled very silly, and nodded in the same way.
He knew what to do next.
Xue Shao couldn't help but think to himself, it seems that it is not unreasonable for Ashdwin Fu to be constantly vigilant and suppress his biological son Etun Special Service. This Etun agent is not at all as stupid as he seems on the surface, he is actually very scheming, but because his father is too strong and suspicious, he has always behaved very impulsive and dull, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like an idiot with muscles growing to the head.
If things are abnormal, there must be demons.
This ugly spy who looks like a donkey has always been in Taoguang. It is quite possible that beneath his ugly and brutal exterior lies a wolf-like ambition no less than that of Ashdwin.
It is not difficult to imagine that the father and son have been suspicious of each other for a long time. Ai Yan is just a fuse!
