Chapter 35: Iron and Blooded Tenderness (I)
At the end of a terrible battle, 1,700 of the 3,000 soldiers of the Qimin Department were killed, and less than 500 soldiers were not injured, in the Turkic camp on the shore of Lake Hari, the Khan of Qimin was holding a memorial service for the fallen soldiers, the corpses of the dead were collected in the tent, Dye Gan and the Turkic nobles killed sheep and horses to pay tribute, and walked around the tent for seven weeks, one of them went to the tent door and cut his face with a knife, blood and tears exchanged, and the corpses of the soldiers would be transported back to the headquarters and handed over to their relatives for cremation.
At the edge of the forest, the last funeral of the fallen Sui soldiers was also held, 80 of the 300 Sui soldiers were killed and 120 wounded, including the main general Yang Yuanqing was also slightly injured, and the surviving soldiers supported the wounded soldiers and mourned in silence for the 80 brothers who died in battle.
Changsun Sheng was reading a eulogy to the fallen soldiers, "Your prestige will stay in the grassland forever, your bravery has blocked the ambitions of the Western Turks, you have kept the peace of the Great Sui Dynasty, you are the heroes of the Great Sui Dynasty, may your spirits rest in peace in the heavens......."
The chief of Gesa, Bo Luo, knelt down with thousands of tribesmen and expressed his sincerest gratitude to the Sui soldiers who died defending their homeland, and the five hundred Gesa warriors lost 180 people, and after hastily paying tribute to their children, they rushed to see off the fallen Sui soldiers.
At this time, the Qimin Khan Rangan came on horseback with dozens of tribal chieftains, who turned over and dismounted, knelt down in front of the fallen Sui soldiers, and silently prayed for them to heaven.
Dye Gan walked to Changsun Sheng and knelt down on his knees, and said in a deep voice: "Dye Gan almost wanted to go astray, it was the arrival of the Sui army that made Dye Gan wake up and know his way back, please ask General Changsun to tell His Majesty the Son of Heaven that the order of the Qimin Khan was given by the Great Sui Dynasty, and I Dye Gan swore to Tengger that in my life, the Turkic army would not step into the Great Sui Dynasty." ”
Changsun Sheng hurriedly helped him up and comforted him: "This is also the hope of the Holy Son of Heaven, I hope that the Great Sui and the Turks will always be brothers and will never be violated." ”
Dye Gan walked up to Yang Yuanqing again and bowed deeply to him, "General Yang's kindness, I Ran Gan remember it in my heart, no matter when and where, as long as General Yang steps into the grassland, he will be my most honored guest of the Turks, this is the promise of my Qimin Khan, including my children and grandchildren, they will remember this promise." ”
Yang Yuanqing nodded silently and said to the soldiers: "Let the brothers go!" ”
The corpses will be carried to the forest clearing to be burned, and their ashes will be brought back in jars to their relatives, as well as their bereavements, and will also be taken to the Central Plains.
.........
The dead are gone, and the living will enjoy the glory of victory. Laughter has replaced sorrow, celebration has replaced sacrifice, and the night of the victors has arrived.
The girl's song echoed on the banks of the Harry River, the bonfire lit up the joy in the people's eyes, the air was filled with the enticing smell of meat, in front of the bonfires, the soldiers of the Sui army were pulled by the enthusiastic people of Gesa to sit down in front of their bonfires, they were the heroes of the people of Gesa, the housewife of Gesa took out the best milk wine, and everyone drank mare's milk wine in a large bowl around the campfire, munched on roast mutton, laughed and laughed, and enjoyed the adoring eyes of the Gesa maidens.
Yang Yuanqing and the Turkic nobles sat in front of the largest bonfire, the firelight reflected his face, in the firelight, a group of Turkic girls were dancing, Asduo was also among the girls, her eyes were shining in the firelight, flashing jewel-like luster, she did not hide her love and enthusiasm, as if she was dancing for Yang Yuanqing alone, in her eyes, Yang Yuanqing is the only hero in heaven and earth, oh my God! She felt that the fire of love in her heart was about to burn her.
Many people saw Asto's fiery affection and whispered on the side.
"Our little swans are looking for their nest."
"Who, Athoth?"
"Don't you see? The enthusiasm in her eyes melted General Yang. ”
........
Yu Chiwan walked briskly past the piles of bonfires and found the fat fish in front of the bonfires.
"Fat fish, come here, I have something to look for you."
"What's the matter?" Fat Fish was having a good time talking with two Turkic women, a little impatient.
Yu Chiwan bit his lip tightly, pulled out his horizontal knife, and pointed at the two women, "Get out!" ”
The two women were frightened and stumbled away, and the fat fish was furious, and stood up and reprimanded: "Wei Chi, what are you going to do?" ”
"You idiot, the general is going to make a big mistake, and you still have the heart to find a woman?"
Fat Fish was stunned, he scratched the back of his head, "What are you talking about?" ”
"Stupid, don't you see it yet? The Turkic princess has taken a liking to the general, and tonight the general is going to make a big mistake. ”
Fat Fish couldn't help laughing, "I thought what was the matter, wasn't it just a woman?" What's in it? ”
Wei Chiwan gritted his teeth with hatred, "Don't you know the general yet?" He will be moved by his true feelings, what if he takes the initiative to show his true feelings for this Turkic duke? ”
"Then marry her! What to do? "Fat Fish still doesn't understand.
"It's no problem for you, a fat pig, to marry a hundred Turkic women, no one will care about you, but the general is different."
Yu Chiwan had to pick the words away, "The general is a big family of the Han nationality and the grandson of Mrs. Yang, do you remember?" Four years ago, Mrs. Yang said that the general is his heir, and you say that Mrs. Yang's heir marries a Turkic wife, if his eldest son is half Turkic blood, can Mrs. Yang accept it? Will his family accept it? The general is finished, such an important matter, don't you still understand? ”
After all, Yu Chiwan is a woman, her mind is much more delicate than that of a man, although she is of Xianbei blood, but she understands the importance of family blood, Yang Yuanqing is her brother and her relative, whether she can let Yang Yuanqing take the wrong step if she can.
Fat Fish then understood a little, as if this was the case, he frowned, "Then what should we do?" ”
"Go and persuade him, let him understand."
"I don't think I can persuade him, no one can stop what the general wants to do, if I can't persuade him, what should I do?"
"You stupid fish, won't you think of a way?" Yu Chiwan gritted his teeth and said.
"Then why don't you go?"
Wei Chiwan's face turned red, and he said hatefully: "When have I heard what the general said?" ”
Fat Yu grinned and said with a wry smile: "But when I speak, he won't listen." ”
"You are bold and careful, you go and persuade him first, if he does not listen, you will burn the tent of the Turkic princess with a fire, so that they have nowhere to go."
.........
The fire in front of the main bonfire was blazing, and the firelight illuminated everyone's faces, and the chief of Gesa, Bolo, sat next to Yang Yuanqing, and he saw that Ah Siduo kept dancing in front of Yang Yuanqing, his eyes were enthusiastic and unrestrained, and he couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that I'm going to change my seat." ”
Yang Yuanqing also felt Asduo's enthusiasm, his face was a little hot, the grassland daughter's daring to love and hate, bold and straightforward made him a little unbearable, although Asduo is also very beautiful and graceful, but thinking that she is still a little swan that has not yet grown up, a little feeling in Yang Yuanqing's heart was extinguished by the cold water of Harry Lake.
He had to pretend not to know, and smiled at Bodhisattva: "I found that there are many women in Gesa, but not many men. ”
Bo Luo smiled bitterly, "We have to compete with Xue Yantuo every year for the horse farm, most of the men died in battle, and there were many women left, and in today's battle, there are more than a hundred widows, and there are not enough men, which is the common distress of every tribe on the grassland, and children are our most valuable wealth." ”
