Chapter 786: Daxi Changru's Past (3)

When Daxi Changru woke up, he had already returned to the Sui army camp. It's just that he doesn't know why, but he finds it hard to open his eyes. It took him a long time to wake up, and his face was wrapped in thick gauze. Then he remembered that his head had been slashed by the Turkic general, and he had cut the Turkic general's leather armor chest and abdomen with the scimitar that his own soldiers had exchanged for his life, but he was not sure whether the Turkic general was dead.

He was besieged by dozens of Turkic wolf horsemen, and the Turkic general suddenly rushed from the side and slashed him on the head. Almost subconsciously, he slashed the Turkic general's breastplate with a backhand. Unfortunately, he had a scimitar in his hand instead of a horizontal one.

The scimitar was too short, and it probably didn't completely cut open the Turkic general's belly.

Daxi Changru, who was lying on the bed, couldn't open his eyes, and when he wanted to speak, he found that his throat was hot and painful. With great effort, he could only squeeze a trace of an extremely dry and hoarse moan out of his throat. Even this sound still made him feel the pain in his throat almost burned by fire.

"General! You're awake! ”

Daxi Changru felt that someone was holding his hand, and the temperature in his palm made him feel a little relieved.

It was Dugu Ruizhi, and he could distinguish Dugu's voice.

"General, don't speak...... Your injuries are too severe, especially since the knife in your head nearly destroyed your eye. Don't worry, Brother Tie and the three of them are fine, reinforcements have arrived, and the Turks have retreated. Now that we're in the camp, you just need to recuperate with peace of mind. ”

Daxi Changru nodded with great difficulty, feeling that his head was heavy as if he was pressing on a stone.

"General, our brothers probably rescued less than 200 people, but half of them were seriously injured...... Marshal Cheng said that he had already written a report, but it would be delayed for several months when it was sent to the imperial court. The merits of the brothers will not be buried, and the marshal of the soldiers who are seriously wounded and disabled promises each of them two hundred pieces of meat first......"

Daxi Changru snorted, but didn't have the strength to say a word.

Dugu Ruizhi helped Daxi Changru to drink a sip of water, and the hot pain in his throat was slightly relieved. For Daxi Changru to cover the quilt, Dugu Ruizhi sat beside him and said, "General, the marshal came to see you just now." You suffered five serious injuries, two of which ran back and forth...... Fortunately, there is no shortage of medicine in our army, do you know that we almost died in battle this time? ”

When he said this, Dugu Ruizhi's words were already choked: "General, since the 400,000 troops of the five Turkic khans went south, Feng Yu of the Pillar State, Li Chong of the Upper Pillar State, and the Governor of Lanzhou were all defeated, and the soldiers were defeated. Wuwei, Tianshui, Anding, Jincheng, Yan'an, Shangdu Prefectures, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Sui were defeated one after another, but we won the battle of Honghua...... Shabalu Khan was beheaded by more than 15,000 of our 2,000 cavalry, and he was afraid, and as soon as the marshal's reinforcements arrived, he withdrew in disarray. ”

When Dugu Ruizhi finished speaking, Daxi Changru was finally able to open his eyes.

"Dugu"

After being silent for a while, Daxi Changru screamed in a hoarse voice and a very soft voice.

"General, I'm here."

Dugu Ruizhi hurriedly leaned forward.

"You...... Ahem...... Never a ...... People who can lie ......"

Daxi Changru shook his head slowly, touched the wound and couldn't help grinning at the corner of his mouth: "Your heart is not calm enough...... The city government is not deep enough...... When you deceive, your eyes dare not look at me...... Say...... You've lied to you...... What did you lie to me? ”

He said so many words in one breath, and his mood fluctuated, so he couldn't help coughing violently. The wound was touched, and blood seeped out of the gauze again.

"General...... Don't worry! ”

Dugu Ruizhi hurriedly took water, and helped Daxi Changru to take a sip: "I...... I'm not trying to lie to you...... I just want you to recuperate. ”

"In the end...... Finally...... What happened? ”

Dugu Ruizhi's face became extremely ugly, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he finally said: "Reinforcements...... There were no reinforcements at all, and the Turks retreated because of too great losses, afraid of the combat strength and will of our two thousand men, plus infighting. Shabalu Khan had a dispute with his nephew Dengan and Datou Khan, and it is said that the three sides fought, and Shabalu Khan killed Datou Khan...... Our reinforcements haven't arrived at all! ”

"No reinforcements......"

Daxi Changru muttered and repeated, the tears from his eyes seeped into the gauze and penetrated into the wound, so painful.

It hurts even more in my heart.

……

……

In the early years of the Sui Dynasty, the Turks on the steppe were divided into five divisions. Ashina took a picture called Sha Bo Luo Khan, in addition to Abi Khan, Datou Khan and other four khans, of which Sha Bo Luo is the strongest. After Emperor Gaozuwen of the Great Sui Dynasty Yang Jian established the country, his courtesy to the Turkic tribes gradually weakened, and all Turkic tribes resented the Great Sui. A princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty married the uncle of Sha Bo Luo Khan, and this princess persuaded Sha Bo to raise troops south several times in order to revive the Great Zhou.

Sha Boluo also coveted the splendid rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, so he gathered more than 400,000 troops from the other four khans to march south. He joined up with the former Northern Zhou Yingzhou Assassin Shi Gao Baoning and attacked the south of the Great Wall. The border army of the Great Sui was caught off guard and was defeated one after another.

This Turkic offensive was huge and ferocious. On May 16, Gao Baoning cooperated with the Turks to launch an attack on Pingzhou, and on the entire front, the defense line of the Sui army was broken through in many places, and Feng Yu, the head of the marching army who was guarding Yifubo, was besieged by tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry, and fought for several days, outnumbered, and martyred.

On the eastern front, the combined forces of the Turks and Gao Baoning broke through the Sui army's defense line and attacked Youzhou, and Li Chong went to battle, which was unfavorable. In October, the important states and counties along the Great Wall in the northwest fell one by one, and the Turks broke through the Muxia and Shimen passes, divided their troops to the south, crossed the Liupan Mountain, and advanced to the shore of the water, seriously threatening Chang'an.

On December 15, Emperor Wen sent Yu Qingze, the supervisor of internal history, as a marshal, and galloped to Honghua to resist the enemy.

Daxi Changru was the head of the march, but Yu Qing only gave him 2,000 men and horses, and it was obvious what dirty things were hidden.

Sui army camp

In the marshal's tent, the lights flickered.

Yu Qing sat behind the table, his face gloomy and frightening. He held a brush in his hand, his brow furrowed but he didn't mean to put it down. He had been sitting like this for a long time, but he still hadn't figured out how to write this recital. This time, Daxi Changru led an army of 2,000 to defend the 400,000 army of the Turkic Shabalu Khan, killing more than 15,000 enemies, and forcing the Turkic army to retreat.

If it is reported truthfully, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be happy.

But Your Majesty is too smart, too wise...... If this recital is written truthfully, I am afraid that His Majesty will immediately find out the flaws in it. 2,000 against 400,000 wolves...... Speaking of the magnificence of this battle, why are there only 2,000 people? He Yu Qing had a heavy army, why did he only send 2,000 cavalry to the decisive battle with the enemy?

Victory!

I can't help but report it.

But how to report it is Yu Qingze's headache.

After struggling for a long time, Yu Qing suddenly threw the brush on the ground and slapped the table hard, this crisp sound startled several of his cronies and generals in the big tent. Everyone looked at him in fear, and they all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

"This battle ...... Why didn't I call it? ”

Yu Qing was originally a descendant of the Xiongnu, and when Emperor Wen of Sui won the Zen throne and established the Great Sui, he advocated the punishment of the Northern Zhou Yuwen royal family, which was reused by Yang Jian. He was named the secretary of the Ministry of Internal History, Jing Zhaoyin, and the Duke of Pengcheng County. He made a lot of contributions to Yang Jian's establishment of the Great Sui, and his status in the court was quite high.

"Marshal...... Lingzhou Dao Marshal Hejian Wang Yang Hong is in a stalemate on his side...... Marshal Ningzhou Dao's left servant shot Gao Ying's side, and it seemed that the military affairs were not going well. Only Marshal, your men and horses have won the battle, and your Majesty will be pleased if you learn of it...... You are the marshal, and the credit for this battle is naturally yours. As for how to write this fold, it's not all yours? ”

After pondering for a while, Du Mingwei, Yu Qingze's cronies, said softly: "Most of the people in the army are your cronies, and only Daxi Changru is an outsider. As long as the marshal you want...... Willing to do things for you that you don't do well. As long as Daxi Changru dies, who would dare to talk nonsense about this matter? Again...... He brought back more than 100 remnants of soldiers, even if he wanted to make trouble? Listen to the heavens...... It's not just anyone who can do it. ”

Du Mingwei lowered his voice and said, "This first big victory against the Turkic tribe can't be easily given to others...... Marshal, think about it, all the marshals have not made any contributions, and the Great Sui has lost six counties, under such a declining situation, it is unimaginable that your big victory will boost morale...... This is a great achievement, beyond the ordinary! ”

"No!"

Yu Qing shook his head and said, "Daxi Changru is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and as the head of the march, if something happens to him, His Majesty will definitely have a thorough investigation......"

"How so?"

Du Mingwei smiled and said: "General Daxi died in battle, and the officers and soldiers of the three armies can prove this matter!" If His Majesty learns of it, he will be greatly praised...... Although General Daxi died in battle, he could also get supreme glory, and he could feel at ease under Jiuquan. ”

"As for the more than 100 remnants...... Daxi Changru was killed in battle, and naturally they were all killed in battle. ”

Du Mingwei smiled very brightly, and the more he talked, the brighter his eyes became. He walked over slowly, bent down and picked up the brush on the ground, held it in both hands and handed it to Yu Qingze: "Marshal, how to write this recital, it is actually extremely simple and difficult...... It's because your heart is too good to bear it...... But Marshal, you should also understand that if Daxi Changru does not die, how this battle will be known to His Majesty sooner or later. You have a good heart...... Daxi Changru may not be kind-hearted! ”

Yu Qing took a deep breath, took the brush handed over by Du Mingwei and began to write for a while.

When he lowered his head to write the recital, Han Seng Shou, the general standing in the outermost position of the big tent, sighed slightly. He is the younger brother of the famous general Han Baohu of the Great Sui Dynasty, and he is brave by nature. Seeing this filthy scene today, I couldn't help but sigh for Daxi Changru. He looked at Yu Qingze, who was writing at the desk, with contempt in his eyes.

……

At the beginning of the third year of the emperor's reign, Marshal Yu Qing defeated the Turkic Shabalu Khan in Honghua. Tens of thousands of enemies were killed, and hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops were retreated in a battle. Emperor Yang Jian Dayue of the Great Sui Dynasty, and Yu Qing was crowned as the Duke of Lu, promoted to the Pillar State, the official to the right servant of Shangshu, and the 1,000 households of the food estate, and the title of Duke of Pengcheng County was inherited by his second son.

Daxi Changru died on the battlefield, Emperor Wen felt his loyalty, and issued an edict saying: The Turks are rampant, they are guilty of border stops, and the dogs and sheep are all over the mountains. And Changru was appointed to the north, to curb the thieves, within the department, the major general a hundred times, day and night, all sides to resist the enemy, where the fourteen battles, will be destroyed. The murderer will be killed, more than half of them will not be opposed, and the remnants of the blade will be scattered. Since it is not heroic and powerful, it is deep in the country, it is good to take care of the emperor, and the soldiers use their lives, how can they break the crowd with less, if they are great? Words and thoughts are honorable, Yilong is famous, and can be on the pillar country. The soldiers who died in the war were all given three official turns, and their descendants attacked them.

Since then, the Great Sui has lost one famous general.

There was an extra group of wandering cavalry on the steppe, and a scar-faced general.

……

……

In the eighth year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen Yang Jian hosted a banquet for his ministers in the mansion of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, and Yu Qing, the Duke of Lu, had a dispute and mocked each other, and Emperor Wen was displeased. Yang Susui and Yu Qing did not agree, and the two turned against each other.

Yang Jian believes in Yang Su, and naturally he is not happy.

In the seventeenth year of the emperor's reign, Lingnan Li Xian raised troops against the Sui. There were several generals who asked for their lives, but Yang Jian assigned Yu Qing to ask for the commander. Yu Qing returned halfway from the rebellion and was falsely accused of conspiracy. Emperor Wen sent someone to lock it up and behead him in the wilderness.
