Chapter 53: The Turkic Prince

His words "for me" accentuated his tone, causing the Turkic leader's eyes to twinkle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The man grinned, "We don't care who we're fighting for, as long as we can live!" But I don't understand what you're asking us to do? What do you have to follow? ”

Lao Cheng nodded and waved to the back, and several Liangshan elites came up carrying a large frame and two cauldrons, and he said to these people: "In order to show my sincerity, these foods are my private purchase as a gift for you." Of course, in order to prevent you from overeating accidents, today's food is rationed! I will provide you with enough in the future. ”

The lids of the baskets and pots were opened, and the golden pancakes and beef broth made the eyes of the hungry Turkic soldiers red, and the scene was filled with the sound of swallowing mouths.

The Turkic leader's eyes were full of doubts, and he stared at Lao Cheng and said, "There is no free dinner in the world; What do you want us to do with this generous treatment you give us? We are already the last bit of strength of the tribe, and we can't fool around and die for you. ”

Lao Cheng laughed and said, "You guy's suspicion is quite heavy; You say that you are a bunch of cannon fodder, and you will die early and late, what is so terrible? If you want to eat, you can eat, and if you don't eat, I won't give it! ”

The Turkic leader was stunned for a moment, then strode up, picked up the pancakes and beef broth, and the others rushed up like a swarm of bees.

Wang Hu brandished his waist knife and roared loudly in vain: "Line up!" Line up! Pay attention to discipline! If only my soldiers had cut you down! ”

The Turks swept everything away like a whirlwind, and even accidentally fell to the ground, and the trampled ones were picked up and planted in their mouths. Although they could only eat seven or eight percent full, they all showed unprecedented expressions of satisfaction.

"How? Shall we talk in your tent? Cheng asked with a smile, and the Turkic leader nodded and took Lao Cheng into the tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, Lao Cheng felt a sour smell, turned his head and retreated: "The outside is more spacious, let's talk about it outside now!" The Turkic leader blushed, and took two of his subordinates and Cheng Yanjin and others to lay out a piece of felt outside and sit down.

"General Qin......" The Turkic leader bit Jin Dao to Cheng, and Lao Cheng waved his hand to stop him and said: "Wrong, this is our vanguard officer Qin Qiong, I am his good brother, named Cheng Yanjin." There are no outsiders here, can the patriarch tell us your real name? ”

The man sighed and said, "Call me Ashina Danai, the youngest son of Luo Khan of the Turkic Division, and Ashina is my third uncle; He took the throne of our family and secretly wiped out my clan.

We fled all the way, and in the end, only a few thousand people were left to run to the border of the Sui Dynasty and escaped his pursuit. Unexpectedly, he finally fell into the hands of the Sui soldiers, and he was sold here to become a pioneer soldier.

I once vowed to kill Ashina and avenge my family, but after several big battles, there was not one out of ten people; Now I can only live like this. ”

Lao Cheng smiled and said, "I didn't see that you are still a prince, so be it!" You serve me, and I swear to give you your enemy, Ashina, for the rest of my life! If I can't fulfill my vow, I won't die well when the sky thunders! ”

"Ahh Everyone stared at him together, and Qin Qiong hurriedly said: "Bite the gold!" What nonsense? ”

Ashina Danai had tears flashing in his eyes and said: "Da Nai thanks the general for his weight, but Ashina is a Turkic Jieli Khan, and his subordinates control millions of strings, and he almost captured the Sui lord alive last year." He was one of the greatest Great Khans ever seen by the Turks; Danai never thought of seeking revenge on him. But with the general's words, no matter what happens in the future, Danai is willing to serve the general! ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "Yes, this Jieli Khan is eloquent, but he shouldn't have provoked the Tang Dynasty, and as a result, he met the more eloquent Li Shimin, who was captured alive and forced to die in Chang'an, and the Eastern Turks also disappeared." ”

Cheng Yanjin didn't explain, patted Ashina Danai's shoulder and said, "Whether you believe it or not, what I say will always count." Just take a good look!

By the way, your surname Ashina is too eye-catching, I will give you a Han surname, you will have the surname Shi, and you will be called Shi Danai! ”

Shi Danai nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for the name!" As he spoke, he turned to the two men and said, "Did you hear that?" In the future, you will also be surnamed Shi, Ashina Wufeng, you will be called Shi Wufeng; Ashina Heiyun, you are called Shi Heiyun! ”

"Yes!" The two hurriedly touched their chests with their hands and agreed.

Cheng Yanjin asked again: "Do you have any weapons and armor?" Shi Danai smiled bitterly: "We are just cannon fodder, where will the Sui people give armor, every time they go into battle, they will only give some inferior blades." ”

"Do you know how to shoot arrows? I'm talking about mounted archery? Cheng Yanjin asked again. Shi Danai nodded and said: "How can there be Turks who can't ride and shoot, our five hundred people are all out of 100,000 control strings, and each of them is a master!" But we don't have bows and arrows, and we don't have horses! ”

Cheng bit Jin and patted his thigh and said, "It's okay." It's called Leave It To Me! Second brother, Luo Fang gave us some old and weak soldiers, and we have to express it when we come to the general manager! Let's not take 500 bows and arrows and leather armor too much! ”

Qin Qiong laughed and said, "I'll leave this matter to me!" However, the horses are estimated to be difficult! ”

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Don't worry about the horses, let's find the Goguryeo people!" ”

After saying a few more words, Cheng Yanjin told Shi Danai that they should get ready and set off tomorrow; Then he said goodbye to Qin Qiong and others.

On the same day, Qin Qiong went to Hu'er and said that the soldiers were weak and hoped to replenish some bows and arrows; Laihu'er understood what was going on as soon as he heard it; Although he is the chief of the army, the eldest lady Paul Fang is not easy to interfere with; So he happily agreed to Qin Qiong's request.

The next day, Laihu'er got the news that the Sui lord had left the capital, and discussed it with Zhou Fashang, the head of the navy; Immediately let Qin Qiong lead 5,000 men and horses to take the warship of Zhou Shaoji, the left division of the naval army, out of Donglai Port.

Zhou Shaoji is the eldest son of Zhou Fashang, skilled in martial arts, good at water warfare, he has 50 Qingque and Huanglong warships under his command, and 2,000 sailors, all of whom followed Qin Qiong as a vanguard to kill Goguryeo.

100 large ships raised their sails, rode the wind and waves, and soon disappeared from sight. These miscellaneous laborers, many local fishermen in Dengzhou, did not arrive at anything uncomfortable; Cheng Yanjin took the opportunity to conduct a basic queue drill for them.

The Turkic soldiers, who had never seen the sea for almost their entire lives, were very excited at first, but after a short time, various conditions appeared, and they vomited wildly into the sea.

Lao Cheng seemed to have foresight, and had prepared the fresh ginger for weighing, and asked them to tie their abdomen tightly with their belts to avoid fluctuations in their internal organs; It greatly eases everyone's situation.

Zhou Shaoji's interest in Lao Cheng suddenly increased, and he came to talk to him; Lao Cheng also took the opportunity to ask him for some experience in water warfare.

Zhou Shaoji is Zhou Mashang's eldest son, but his talent is slightly inferior to his younger brother Zhou Shaofan, and everyone says that he became this naval captain by virtue of his father's power. In addition, he is not good at words, although he studies hard, but he has not been recognized by everyone, and he slowly has some inferiority.

The first time he and Lao Cheng met, it was the time to show their talents; This time, he was scratched by Lao Cheng to the itch, and he regarded Lao Cheng as a bosom friend, so he almost burned yellow paper and worshipped!

Although Lao Cheng doesn't know how to fight water, he has seen a lot more than them; The discussion with Zhou Shaoji is also impressive; The two immediately became close friends, and they were inseparable almost every day.

After about 7 days of sailing, they finally came to the jurisdiction of Goguryeo. Because the Great War was approaching, there were no fishing boats going out to sea here; They entered Liaoshui smoothly.

According to the previous plan, they did not stop at Liaoshui, but directly entered the Yalu River, and then went straight down the river to take the muddy water.

"General Qiyu! The enemy patrol division has been spotted ahead! "News came from the Qingque boat at the front, and Qin Qiong and the others hurriedly went to the bow of the boat to watch.
