Chapter 51: The Soldiers Are Approaching Tuguhun
Chang'an, which welcomes the New Year, is still so lively, and in addition to the orchids still working hard in the West Market, you can also hear the noise of various southern and northern tones.
Chang'an's commerce was not constrained as Xu Yang thought, but showed a blowout development, with mountains of goods, a steady stream of camel caravans, and merchant ships from the sea, crowding the hustle and bustle of Chang'an.
Hu Shang from the Silk Road has a smile on his face, a trip to the Tang Dynasty will bring him ten times the profit after returning home, the strength and wealth of the Tang Kingdom left a deep impression on them.
Jingkangfang didn't know when it began to introduce orchids on a large scale, these high-nosed women in the Western Regions were very popular with Tang Dynasty men, they wore less and less, and their waists twisted more and more frequently, but it was a pity that Chang'an Xungui and big families began to restrain their children and nephews, and they were not allowed to go to those Qinglou bazaars.
The first to bear the brunt is Cheng Chumo and a few people, since the last time I went with Xu Yang, then my father's control became more and more strict, and the gate was rarely able to step out, of course, Cheng Chumo and the others didn't know that Xu Yang secretly told their father that he often visited the Qinglou, so that they could take care of it strictly, after all, Confucius had said that "young people are not in the right place", and it is not good to go to that kind of place after all.
With the opening of the women's college, the daughters of large families in Chang'an began to be eager to prepare for the registration reference, after all, the princesses born to Li Er in the admission list that have been determined are impressively listed, if their little girl can study with the princess, it is really a blessing that they have cultivated for several lifetimes.
At this time, an astonishing news came from the court: the imperial court was going to use troops again, and the target of this time was Tuguhun......
"Big brother, you still have the heart to stay at home, my Tang Dynasty has used troops abroad, this time His Majesty is really ruthless, not only sending Duan Zhixuan, my father, Uncle Wei Chi and Li Jing's military god, but also the general Li Ji, five ways together, it is bound to destroy this Tuguhun!" Cheng Chu silently entered the owner's mansion and shouted loudly for a long time, as if what he said was a shocking event.
Xu Yang, who was teasing the child in his arms, seemed to be unimpressed, and said to the child in his arms with a smile: "Heavenly things, look at your uncle who is in a hurry, when has it become a rare thing for my Datang to go out to fight?" ”
I have to say that aside from Li Er's violent tendencies and desire for conquest in history, the reason why Datang can quickly stand on the top of the world's nations is related to the heroism of the Tang people, who dare to kill and fight.
Watching Xu Yang talk to the doll who was less than a month, Cheng Chumo leaked an embarrassed look, and then said seriously: "I don't care about the use of troops abroad, but this time so many generals from the DPRK and China were dispatched, I ...... I'm worried. ”
"Haha." Xu Yang said without thinking: "This time, I'm afraid it's not the one who uses the soldiers, but the one who trains the soldiers." ”……
Lanzhou City, the residence of the city lord.
"A few generals, please have tea." Lanzhou Thorn Shi Yongshi respectfully gave tea to the five expressionless generals in the hall.
But it seemed that those people ignored him at the same time, and only saw the one with the fiercest color and the biggest beard and said to everyone: "A few years ago, when Lao Li conquered the Turks, he used this chengguan army, how do you feel about the combat power?" ”
A middle-aged man wearing a general robe, but with an elegant temperament, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If you give Jing three hundred city management, Jing has the confidence to destroy that Tuguhun alone." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was a little discolored, only Li Ji, who was also fighting against the Turks, still showed a smiling face.
"Could it be that this army is really as strong as Xu Yang's kid said at the beginning?" Wei Chigong sighed, he still didn't believe that 300 people could beat 10,000 people without the slightest power to fight back.
Li Ji on the side nodded and said: "This army does have less contact with everyone, it can be said that with the previous way we fought against the world, this army can easily slaughter any of the eighteen anti-kings." ”
Cheng Biting Jin on the side was a rough nerve, waved his big hand, and shouted: "It's a mule or a horse that comes out to slip around, now that we are on the border of Lanzhou, what to do next, Lao Li, give me a letter." ”
Li Jing's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth chuckled: "This time, His Majesty actually sent so many big generals from the DPRK and China to attack this small Tuyuhun, I'm afraid that he didn't mean to send troops, but to train troops." With that, he spread out his hand, and in his palm, five chengguan tokens were lying quietly in his hand......
Dawangfu was a centurion in the Tuyuhun Kingdom.
Tuyuhun is very poor, although Da Wangfu doesn't want to admit it, but the life of the people of Tuyuhun is always so bad, Tuyuhun's children are always so thin, Tuyuhun's cattle and sheep are so scarce every year, when Da Wangfu was young, the people of Xue Yantuo tribe once went to Tuyuhun to loot and robbed their only remaining cattle and sheep, Dawangfu's family of five, parents and elder brother were killed by people from the Xue Yantuo tribe, and in the end only his sister and himself survived.
Since then, the seeds of revenge have been planted in Dawangfu's heart, and he vows that one day, he will kill Xue Yantuo and use the heads of their tribe to honor his dead relatives.
Since then, Da Wangfu has worked hard to boil his body, climbing mountains and mountains, spring, summer, autumn and winter, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Da Wangfu has grown from a thin boy to a strong man.
Dawangfu joined Tuyuhun's army as he wished, and was famous for his superb fighting skills, and was honored to be a centurion in Tuyuhun's army.
Originally, Wang Neng, who was looking forward to Tuyuhun, ordered an attack on Xue Yantuo, but received an order to plunder the Tang Dynasty. Da Wangfu was a little unclear, he didn't know why he wanted to attack Datang for no reason, but when he saw his compatriots cheering, Da Wangfu gradually understood, because Da Wangfu was the richest place, where a lot of food and materials could be plundered, and Xue Yantuo obviously did not have these resources.
Plundering the Tang Dynasty is very smooth, the Tang people are a very weak person, as long as Da Wangfu rides on a horse and puts the machete in his hand in front of the Tang people, the Tang people will obediently offer food and money, but Da Wangfu has never killed the unarmed Tang people, because every time he will think of the scenes where those Xue Yantuo people killed their parents for no reason.
However, in stark contrast to Da Wangfu were the other companions in the army, who always liked to deceive the Tang people and kill them after they had presented all the jewels, and Da Wangfu was very disgusted with this, he was very tired of his companions laughing like the Xue Yantuo people had at the beginning, that kind of sick smile, every time Da Wangfu would lose his mind, so that he would fight.
However, the results of plundering the Tang people were fruitful, and when Da Wangfu returned to his hometown with the plundered food and various daily necessities, he was praised by the king and welcomed by the people, Da Wangfu was a little in a trance, and he seemed to feel that this was much faster than slowly raising cattle and sheep.
However, what he didn't know was that the contradiction between the nomadic language and farming civilization had risen into an irreconcilable contradiction precisely because of the inhumane plundering of the nomads......
"Thirty miles ahead is Mantou Mountain, according to intelligence, there is a huge village of Tuyuhun on the mountain, there are more than 2,000 people in the village, this village is the vanguard of Tuyuhun, it is a border village, general, should we attack?" A middle-aged man who looked like a military advisor asked with his fists clenched.
Li Ji rode on his horse, looked at Wei Chi Gong on the side, and asked, "What does General Wei Chi think?" ”
Of course, Wei Chigong, who was full of meat, would not disagree with the attack, but he smiled and said: "Haha, I haven't touched the gun for a long time, and now I can finally show my skills again, it's really refreshing, and finally there is another battle to fight!" Attack, why not attack? ”
When Li Ji heard this, he also nodded and said: "Okay, then shell a stick of incense first, and then send troops to take this village, and make peace with General Li Jing and General Cheng on the North Road as soon as possible!" ”R1152
