On the vast grasslands...... The cavalry of the Sui army, with 100 women, was speeding north, they rushed up 22 high hills, stopped, and in the distance was a wide river, like a giant dragon lying under the vast sky, the sun was shining on the river, sparkling, bright and dazzling, that was Jianshui, and dense tents could be seen in the distance on the bank of the Jianshui River.

The leader of the Sui army was very fat, in his thirties, and his small eyes always flashed with the cunning peculiar to a merchant.

This person is the fat fish of the year, but now no one calls him fat fish, his big name is Yu Quanhong, everyone respectfully calls him Yu to join the army, he is currently the record of Wuyuan County to join the army, and is also in charge of the trade of Wuyuan County, the trade between Fengzhou and the Utu Department is also in charge of him, in the past two years, he has been to the Utu Department twice.

This time, he was ordered by Yang Yuanqing to urgently send an envoy to the Utu Ministry, and after a long journey of nearly a month, they finally arrived at the tooth tent of the Utu Ministry.

"Yu joins the army, is that the tooth tent of the Utu Department over there?" ―Captain asked, pointing to the dense tent in the distance.

Yu Quanhong gasped for a long time. Rough and scolded: "His grandmother's, it's finally done!" ”

He waved his hand, "Brethren, come with me to enjoy the fair-skinned woman of the Gloomy Gas!" ”

The Sui army cheered and rushed towards the camp in the distance with the Yu army.

Utu is a Turkic-branch, is the tribe of Utu, the son-in-law of Qimin Khan, was the second largest force in the Turks, six years of great cause, Qimin Khan died violently, Shibi Khan ascended the throne in the dispute, there was internal strife within the Turks, Utu did not recognize Shibi Khan's accession to the throne, so he led hundreds of thousands of his tribe to the northwest to migrate, and controlled the Huanggasi Department and Dubo Department in Tiele, with more than 200,000 people with armor, known as the Northern Turks, hostile to Shibi Khan, the two fought more than ten times, each other won and lost, but Shibi Khan since getting the Sui Dynasty to lead the craftsman, The ability to control and guide was greatly improved, and with the powerful guidance arrow, finally Gan defeated the Utu Department in the autumn of the ninth year of the Great Cause, and the Utu Department, which was greatly injured, was forced to flee far away, and moved from Kusubo to the Jianshui Valley, and lived with the Huanggas Department.

At this time, two years have passed since the relocation of the Utu Division, and the Utu Department has gradually come out of the shadow of defeat, and the strength of the army has recovered from 80,000 to 120,000.

Yu Quanhong's mission to the Utu tribe this time was to persuade the Utu to attack the Turkic tent from the north and force the Turks to retreat.

When Utu heard that Yu Quanhong was coming, he personally went out to greet him, and the two laughed and hugged each other, and the two had met many times, and they were very familiar with each other, and on the other hand, Yu Quanhong was cheerful and lively by nature, and liked women, which made Utu and his men feel cordial, and everyone liked him quite much.

"Is it according to the old rules?"

Utu smiled, "I'll find you two of the brightest Ugas girls." ”

Yu Quanhong's old rule is to drink wine and eat meat first, have a full meal, and then hug the two young girls to sleep, and after the wine is full and the spirit is sufficient, the next day they start to talk about business.

Unexpectedly, Yu Quanhong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If you follow the old rules this time, the manager must cut off my head, let's talk about business first!" ”

Utu immediately guessed that Yu Quanhong was here with a heavy responsibility, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to arrange the Sui army, so he put his arms around Yu Quanhong's broad shoulders and walked towards the big tent, "Let's go!" Let's get down to business first, and then we'll talk about the old rules. ”

The two sat down in the big tent, and at this time Yu Quanhong was already able to speak fluent Turkic language, so he told Utu the news that Shibi Khan personally led an army of 300,000 to the south.

"Are you sure that the Turkic army is going to Fengzhou?"

This is very important, it is the beginning of spring, and in two months the ewes will be giving birth, and the shepherds will be very busy, and at this time, if it were not for the attack on Toyosu, Utu would not have bothered much.

Yu Quanhong shook his head, "It's not that I'm sure, but the governor is sure, he said that whether it's a grudge or a benefit, Shibi Khan will definitely attack Fengzhou with all his strength this time, and the governor hopes that Utu can abide by the alliance agreement reached between the two sides and send troops to attack the Turkic tent." ”

As he spoke, Yu Quanhong took out Yang Yuanqing's handwritten letter and handed it to Utu, "Take a look!" ”

Utu took the letter and read it all over again, the content of the letter was similar to what Yu Quanhong said, he and Yang Yuanqing had a military mutual assistance agreement, of course he would not sit idly by, Utu pondered for a moment and said: "Chief Yang means to let me attack the Turkic tent, instead of sending troops to aid Fengzhou, is that so?" ”

"That's what the governor means, the Fengzhou Governor's Office also held a meeting for this, is it asking Beitu to directly assist Fengzhou? Or attack the Turkic tent and force the Turks to retreat, at that time the two plans were controversial, from the effect point of view, it was direct assistance to Fengzhou, but the governor said that if the Utu Department directly participated in the war, it was likely to lead to another large-scale attack on the Utu Department by Shibi Khan, from the current strength comparison, the Utu Department was still far inferior to the Shibi Khan, and the governor did not want the Utu Department to be wiped out, so the governor was inclined to help Fengzhou in an indirect way. ”

Utu nodded silently, he was also a political leader, he understood that Yang Yuanqing was actually just making an excuse when he said this, and the real reason Utu also wanted to get.

-- When the Sui army of Fengzhou united with the Northern Invasion to deal with Shibi Khan, who invaded the south, the nature of the war changed, and Yang Chongqing lost his righteousness of resisting foreign invasion and turned it into a battle of interests of uniting foreign races against other foreign races.

He could understand Yang Yuanqing's distress, and Utu solemnly agreed, "Okay! I will lead an army of 80,000 to attack the Turkic tent and force Duji to retreat.

At the wharf of Jiuyuan County, thirty double-decker ships were quietly moored on the wharf, and most of the ice of the Yellow River had melted, and the remaining fragments of ice floe were no longer enough to pose a threat to the sheepskin rafts.

At this time, the wharf was full of wagons, and the soldiers were carrying all kinds of cages onto the ship, and groups of old people, women and children were patiently waiting on the shore for notice to be embarked, which was the family members of the high-ranking officials of Toyosu who were preparing to evacuate, and they were also the last batch of civilians who were ready to evacuate Toyoshu.

Yang Yuanqing's family stood on the edge of the dock, Yang Yuanqing held the three-year-old second son Yang Jing in his arms, holding the eldest son Yang Ning in his hands, and the two daughters followed behind him.

Yang Yuanqing already has a big family, in the New Year, he married Jiang Peihua, Wei Chiwan as a concubine was also included in the room by him, and Chuchen was pregnant with a second child, six months pregnant, and the concubine Green Tea was also pregnant.

The increasing number of family members has made the responsibility of father-husband even heavier on his shoulders.

"Daddy, are we moving?" Yang Jing, the second son in his arms, asked in a childish voice.

Yang Yuanqing said with a smile: "It's moving, the wind and sand here are too big in spring, let you go to the south, there are more trees there, doesn't Jing'er like to take a boat?" This time I went by boat. ”

"Daddy, I like to take boats." Yang Jing's little face smiled, he looked very delicate, very much like his mother Ah Lian.

Yang Yuanqing's eldest son Yang Ning turned six years old last month, he looks very much like Yang Yuanqing, his body is strong and tall, he reads and learns martial arts, he understands a lot of things, but after all, he is still young, and when he speaks, he immediately reveals his childish naivety.

"Daddy, I can also martial arts, I can stay and help Daddy fight the Turks."

Yang Yuanqing patted the back of his head and said with a smile: "Don't think that you kid is going to Lingwu County for a holiday, practice martial arts and talk about books, you are not allowed to fall behind, and you must insist on going to the pond to practice knives every day, if you dare to be lazy, I will whip you." ”

Yang Ning stuck out his tongue, he still had the idea of taking a vacation.

At this time, the eldest daughter Yang Bing gently held her father's arm and carefully advised: "Daddy, you have to be careful yourself." ”

Yang Yuanqing loves his eldest daughter the most, and he is also the most sorry for her, and he has spent too little time with her, and in a blink of an eye, he has grown from a little girl to a big girl, and she is already ten years old, which makes Yang Yuanqing feel that the years pass quickly, and at the same time reminds him to spend more time with his family.

"Bing'er, -- take care of your mother on the way, she is pregnant, and she needs you to take care of her wholeheartedly, don't just care about yourself."

"Daddy, don't worry, Bing'er will take care of her mother."

The eldest daughter is actually only nine years old, but she is very sensible and considerate and careful, which makes Yang Yuanqing extremely pleased.

Looking at his lovely children, he wanted to protect them from being hurt in the slightest, this time he must not lose the battle with the Turks, Yang Yuanqing silently warned himself.

When the bell rang on the boat, the family members on the shore began to board the boat one after another, and every household had maids and servants, and there were many cages, basically the family sat on the boat, Yang Yuanqing's family took the second boat, and the eldest son Yang Ning was naughty and ran on the boat early.

Yang Jing saw that his brother was on the boat, and he was so anxious that he shouted, Yang Yuanqing put him down and asked his two sisters to lead him to the boat.

Pei Minqiu walked up and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to send us to Cheng?" ”

Yang Yuanqing was full of gratitude to his wife, tolerant, kind-hearted, managed the family in an orderly manner, and never let him worry about family affairs.

He shook his head and smiled: "I am going to Dali City soon, you yourself - take care of the road, and wait for the news of victory in Lingwu County with peace of mind." ”

Pei Minqiu smiled, "Then I wish you a successful start, and we are on the boat." ”

"Well, go ahead!"

Yang Yuanqing looked back at his wife and concubine, but unexpectedly found that Asduo was not there, so he asked strangely, "Where is Asto?" ”

Pei Minqiu sighed, "She refuses to leave, she says she is a sinner, she wants to stay and fight with you, I can't persuade her." ”

"Nonsense!"

Yang Yuanqing's face was gloomy, what he was worried about was Ah Siduo, but he didn't expect that at a critical time, she still made a fuss.

Pei Minqiu also persuaded him, "Husband, she is in a bad mood, you have to be more considerate of her and persuade her well."

Yang Yuanqing understood in his heart, so he had to sigh helplessly, "Okay! I will persuade her to ride to Anmu County. ”

Everyone got on the boat, the big boat started slowly, Yang Yuanqing stood on the shore and waved goodbye to his wife and daughter, he watched the big boat slowly leave the dock and sail towards the direction of the Yellow River.
