Chapter 21: The eldest grandson arrives again
Time flies, five years have passed, the time has reached the fourth year of Renshou, Yang Yuanqing has grown into a fifteen-year-old young general, in the Great Sui Dynasty, this age can already start a family.
Four years ago, Datou Khan took advantage of the death of Dulan Khan, the opportunity of the chaos, unified the grassland, self-proclaimed Bujia Khan, the Sui Dynasty once again divided the army into two roads, with Jin King Yang Guang as the commander of the Western Route Army, Yang Su as the deputy marshal, with the Han King Yang Liang as the commander of the East Route Army, Shi Wansui as the deputy marshal, again sent 200,000 troops to attack the Western Turks, defeated the Western Turkic Army, in that battle, Yang Yuanqing won the golden wolf head banner of the Bujia Khan for the second time, and was named Yitong by Yang Guang, becoming the youngest general of the Great Sui Dynasty.
In the following years, Yang Yuanqing led his subordinates to engage in dozens of battles with the Western Turks, and he was promoted to a partial general.
Yang Yuanqing finally broke through the stagnation period the year before last, and entered a new stage of development, his bones and meridians grew rapidly, his height at this time has grown to six feet three, according to the standards of later generations, it is one meter eight seven, broad shoulders and round waist, especially the two arms are extremely long, the hair is tied high, full of strength, his face is also much more mature than before, his eyes have become deep like water, there is a kind of light shot out of the pupils of a cat's eye at night, straight through people's hearts, his nose is tall and slender, his lips are angular and angular, most of the time, he is silent, giving people a sense of atmosphere and calmness.
Yang Yuanqing has been learning archery with Yu Juluo for five years, at this time his archery skills are no less than Zhang Xutuo, not only superb archery, but also perfect lance skills, his sky-breaking lance is invincible in the grassland army, and even Yu Kuluo's knife was defeated under his lance last year.
The breeze is blowing, it is the spring season of March, the warm sun is sprinkled on the endless grassland, the sky is as clear as a wash, blue as a sapphire without impurities, the eyes are the new delicate grass color that is blown green by the spring breeze, the unknown delicate yellow flowers stretch out from the grass, the wind blows, they nod slightly, and the breeze with a slight coolness will send the fragrant grass fragrance together, which is refreshing.
A steppe falcon hovered and flew under the blue sky, and its sharp eyes watched a group of more than 300 Sui cavalry marching unhurriedly on the boundless grassland.
Fat Yu took a note and read it twice, and suddenly frowned and asked: "Lao Kang, I forgot again, what is 'screwing you by neck', and what is 'roasting crispy duck over slow fire'?" ”
The Sogdian Kampas served as Yang Yuanqing's chief clerk, and at the same time was Yang Yuanqing's Turkic and Sogdian Mr. in recent years, although Yang Sien and Liu Jian also knew Turkic, but they did not know Turkic script, while Kampas could not only speak, but also be proficient in Turkic script.
Fat Fish, who has been promoted to brigade commander, also works extremely hard to learn Turkic language, but his learning method is different, he likes to use homophony to memorize every word, as for whether the Turks can understand his 'Yu's Turkic language', only God knows.
Kang Bas laughed and said: "'Boden Ningli' is the meaning of the Turkic word god, and 'Manhu Lai Suya' means the land of the sun, which can also be understood as the grassland under the sun. The Turks did not understand. ”
The fat fish scratched his head and scolded with a smile: "His grandmother's, this Turkic language is so awkward, when will I learn it?" ”
"Whew!" Next to him, Wei Chiwan sneered disdainfully, "That's your own half-heartedness, boasting about your roasting skills for a while, and looking for wild vegetables for a while, what can you learn?" If you look at the general, after only seven or eight days of study, people can already speak in simple Turkic language, and after you have studied for so many years, you can only roast crispy duck over a slow fire. ”
Fat Fish blushed and defended: "Can I compare with the general?" The general is a son of a famous family, and I am just the son of a traveling doctor, one day and one earth. ”
Yang Yuanqing's identity has long been known to everyone, but no one has taken his identity to heart after getting along for a long time, and only people like Fat Fish who do not seek to learn will use it as an excuse.
Yang Yuanqing heard Fat Fish's defense, turned around and smiled slightly: "Old fish! ”
Fat Fish heard that Yang Yuanqing actually called himself Lao Yu, he had always called him Fat Fish before, he was a little flattered and stepped forward and responded: "General, you call me?" ”
Yang Yuanqing has always liked this fat and fat fish brigade marshal, and he smiled and said, "I'll teach you the fastest and best way to learn Turkic language." ”
Fat Fish was overjoyed, "What's a good way?" ”
"Turkic women like men who can barbecue, aren't you good at barbecue? The next time I send you to the old town of Yudujin Mountain to do business with the Turks, you are showing your barbecue talent, and the women will surround you, and then you can learn Turkic with them! Maybe you'll end up with a little fish to go home. ”
The fat fish scratched the back of his head and asked puzzledly: "General, what a little fish!" ”
The surrounding sergeants burst into laughter.
At this time, a cavalryman pointed to the distance and shouted, "General Yang, someone is coming ahead." ”
Yang Yuanqing had already seen that it was a group of Sui army scouts, he urged the horse to meet him, and after a while, several Sui army scouts arrived and bowed to Yang Yuanqing, "General, the head of the fish has arrived in Dali City, and he ordered you to go back immediately." ”
After a pause, the scout said again: "General Changsun is also here!" ”
Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed, and Changsun Sheng also came, he turned around and smiled: "General Changsun has sent us good wine, hurry up and go home!" ”
The crowd was in high spirits and sped up and galloped south.
At this time, they were not far from the Yellow River, and half a day later, everyone arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, crossed the Yellow River directly from the temporary pontoon bridge, and entered the Fengzhou boundary of the Sui Dynasty.
Fengzhou is the Hetao area, and later changed its name to Wuyuan County, after the Yellow River enters the Hetao area, it is divided into two, a North Yellow River, a South Yellow River, after flowing hundreds of miles, and then merge into one, continue to flow to the east, between the Yellow River in the north and south, it forms a rich Hetao Plain.
The river network on the Hetao Plain is dense, the forest is luxuriant, the land is extremely fertile, since ancient times, there is the reputation of the south of the border in the south of the Yangtze River, there are nearly 10,000 Han people in the Hetao Plain to reclaim the land, multiply, the Sui Dynasty set up Fengzhou here, garrisoned 5,000 soldiers, and the governor of Fengzhou is the general Yujuluo
Fengzhou Prefecture is Jiuyuan County, located in the south of the Hetao Plain, in recent years in order to defend against the Western Turks, the Sui Dynasty built three strong castles in the North Yellow River area, each castle garrison 1,000, Yang Yuanqing is one of the city lords.
After crossing the Yellow River and walking more than 100 miles, Yang Yuanqing led the army to arrive at Dali City, Dali City is close to an abrupt granite mountain to build, this mountain is about 100 meters high, the appearance is quite like the Turkic dome, so the locals call it Qionglong Mountain, this stone mountain is steep and smooth all around, difficult to climb, as if the work of nature's ghostly axe.
Dali City is built with ashlar stones, strong and abnormal, the city wall is three zhang high, it is half-moon shaped, the circumference is about ten miles, it can accommodate tens of thousands of people, at present in addition to a thousand garrisons, there are more than 700 Han people who migrated from Lingzhou, they and the soldiers together, in the past few years in the plain outside the city to reclaim hundreds of hectares of land.
It was Changsun Sheng's suggestion to build a castle here, and to build three castles in the north of the Hetao area, you can not only settle the fields, but also recruit Central Plains farmers to cultivate here to solve the problem of military rations, and when the Western Turks invaded, they could hide in the castle for defense.
In addition, the Sui army built 20 beacon towers on the cliffs by the Yellow River, so that when the Western Turkic army arrived, the city of Dali could be informed from a hundred miles away.
As soon as Yang Yuanqing and his entourage walked into the city gate, Liu Jianjian, the 100-person leader on duty at the head of the city, smiled loudly at him: "Yang Tou, the head of the fish invites you to go to Xuanwu Hall." ”
Yang Yuanqing's subordinates were all promoted along with him, Yang Sien, Liu Jian, Fat Fish, and Ma Spoon, these four were promoted to brigade commanders, Wei Chi Xuan and Kang Ba served as civilian officials, Wei Chi Xuan served as Cang Cao, in charge of logistics, and Kang Ba was Ji Gong Lang, responsible for the military Chinese case.
Generally speaking, during the non-war period, the army will restore the original government soldier system, but the government soldiers in the border area and the inland government soldiers are too different, they are all professional sergeants, so the government military system and the combat establishment of the border army are mixed together, like Yang Yuanqing, he should be the general of the chariot and cavalry in the government military system, but in fact, he was named a partial general.
Yang Yuanqing walked to the front of the Xuanwu Hall, which is the command center of Dali City, which is made of bluestone, and is named Xuanwu Hall because of its appearance like a turtle shell.
Yang Yuanqing walked into the lobby, only to see three people in the lobby, one is Yu Juluo, the other is Changsun Sheng, behind Changsun Sheng, there is also a young general, about fourteen or fifteen years old, handsome, handsome, eyebrows and eyes, slightly shorter than Yang Yuanqing half a head, wearing a thin silver armor, next to a gold-backed tiger tooth knife, he is obviously not a soldier, the armor and big knife on his body are not customized by the army, seeing Yang Yuanqing come in, the young general looked at Yang Yuanqing curiously.
Yang Yuanqing saw that his knife was made of stainless steel, weighing about forty or fifty catties, and it was the same as Yujuluo's weapon, it was also a golden-backed tiger tooth knife, he couldn't help but pause, who is this person?
