Section 16: Tian Yuanyi's happy life
Yun Ye didn't go, he didn't go without a tongue, the old man held the four jade plates, thinking that he was the closest person to the immortal land, even if Tianchi was full of temptation and close at hand, he was not willing to put down the jade card in his hand and run up the snow mountain.
Yuan Shoucheng wanted some sergeants to accompany him, Yun Ye remembered what happened to Yetuo and denied it, the mountain was too dangerous, Yetuo's younger brother was torn in half by something like a gorilla, why did he give his subordinates to Yuan Shoucheng as cannon fodder? The old man's face could not be damaged, but fortunately, there was a very capable subordinate under him, that is, Tian Yuanyi, who knew that the general pitied his subordinates very much, and this pity was even to the point of perversion, so he quietly selected fifty warriors from the more than 10,000 servant army in Tingzhou, and told them that as long as they could protect these Taoist masters from Tianchi safely, each of them would be rewarded with 10,000 yuan, and the official would be promoted to three levels.
The reward is unprecedentedly high, and the warriors generally like money, not to mention that this time the reward is exquisite Tang money, not a messy silver cake in the Western Regions, and the warriors are very satisfied with this treatment.
Yuan Shoucheng was not very satisfied, his status in the Tang Dynasty was high, and Yun Ye did not send the most elite Tang army to protect himself was the biggest faux pas, in his opinion, at least he needed to send a team of sergeants to him, and the leader should be a captain.
Just when Yun Ye opened his mouth and couldn't distinguish it, Tian Yuanyi whispered: "Old immortal, your old man is athletic, and he naturally doesn't need people to protect him, and several Taoist masters around you are also capable people, and it makes people laugh when it comes to protection, what you need is a force to carry a burden up the mountain, as well as a guide, and most importantly, a person to find a way."
Think about it, Tianchi was originally a fairy land. The danger there is not people, but the environment, maybe there are magic circles left by the gods, and there are all kinds of monsters, the younger generation has heard the legend of Tianchi in Gaochang, these Hu people you take to explore the way. There is no problem with sending a death, if it is our own son-in-law, in danger, you have to help, this will affect your trip, if the loss is too much, the general will not agree, don't you say? “
Yuan Shoucheng looked at Yun Ye suspiciously, and saw that he kept nodding. I agreed, it's true, going to Tianchi is full of dangers, those sergeants are low-skilled, and they really need to be rescued when they are in trouble, unlike these Hu people, who die when they die, and they don't need to bother themselves. This time it failed, and next time I will find some Hu people to continue up the mountain.
Brat. In fact, the old man has an edict in his arms, ordering you to help the old man with all your might, forget it, for the sake of your love for soldiers like a son, the old man will not take it out. Hu people are Hu people. ”
Yun Ye shook his head and said, "It can only be a Hu person, even if you take out His Majesty's edict." The younger generation will only give you Hu Ren, and you will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside, not to mention that this is a chaotic life, and the younger generation will not accept it at all. ”
Yuan Shoucheng had no choice but to order the five Taoist priests to prepare.
"You don't have to bother. The things that should be used by the juniors have been prepared for you, and no one will be more familiar with those things than me when you go to the Tianshan Mountain, sleeping bags, fuel, new stoves, tents, clothes, shoes and socks, snowshoes, walking sticks, ropes, hook anchors, weapons, and some medicines and bandages, military shovels for sergeants, you have to learn these things from scratch, old man, in fact, the juniors are very worried about letting you go mountaineering now, you had better wait until next year, and when the juniors finish handling military affairs, we will go together. ”
What Yun Ye said was not polite, the fact is indeed the case, where would it be easy to climb the snow mountain, not to mention the era he is in now, there are still many ancient and fierce beasts in the wilderness that have not been extinct, at least in the later generations, Yun Ye has never heard of such a thing as a huge lizard in the desert, nor has he heard that there are big ants everywhere in the desert, let alone that a scorpion can grow to the size of a palm.
Yuan Shoucheng laughed, patted Yun Ye on the shoulder and said: "It is indeed a good posterity, but it's a pity that 10,000 years is too long, the old man is only seizing the day, the old man is too old, lie down tonight, I don't know if I can wake up tomorrow, I can't wait." Now that you're ready, the old man will study hard, Tianshan! The old man really wants to see you for what you really are. ”
Regardless of whether the old man is fascinated by immortality or not, but this truth-seeking spirit Yun Ye can't be admired if he doesn't admire it, the Tang people are like this, those Confucians that Yun Ye knows, even people like Xu Jingzong, will never be reluctant in learning, as long as he reads the book, there will be neat reading notes coming out, read those, those who don't understand, will be clearly marked, and then he will ask others for advice, arithmetic is the same as a book from heaven for Xu Jingzong, but, as long as this old guy encounters something he doesn't know, Those who don't understand will ask Yun Ye for advice. Don't give up until you find out.
This time, Xu Jingzong was still in Loulan Chaos Stone City, just to ask him to take a good look at the way out for himself, Yun Ye always felt that the Western Regions did not seem to be very stable, which may be related to his always pessimistic feelings.
Three years ago, there were only nine robbers, and they were all aimed at merchants, and two years ago, the number of robbers dropped to three, which was the situation after the border army vigorously rectified it, but this year, the number of robbers attacking towns reached a staggering forty-one, what does this mean? It shows that the forces behind these robbers are preparing for a big operation, and where are their goals?
Tingzhou? Or Anthy? If Yun Ye is allowed to choose, Guo Xiaoke should be the best target, and the five thousand Tubo bandits dare to fight against their 30,000 army, and it won't be a problem to gather a large group of people to find trouble with Lao Guo, right?
Unfolded the letterhead, once again put pen to write a letter to Guo Xiaoke, the cliché also has to say, his left wing is now empty, very dangerous, Lao Guo doesn't know what to think, leaving such a big gap to robbers to wander around, but he is looking at the new land, the previous land has not been well managed, what is the new world.
Yun Ye's army continued to sweep under the Tianshan Mountains, and Liu Xinwu led a large group of men and horses to rampage through this great plain like a bulldozer, uprooting all the forces that were in the way of the eyes according to the strategy he had formulated before.
Tingzhou finally settled down, and never heard of any more news of a large number of horse thieves raiding anywhere, and the most joyful thing was naturally the caravans that were trapped in various cities during this time, and long camel caravans began to appear on the trade routes again.
Yun Ye was moving, and ordered all the officials and their families to leave Tingzhou and go to Loulan Ranshi City, for a while, this avenue was full of traffic and pedestrians.
Seeing the last group of family members leave under the protection of a school captain, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, taking advantage of the warm weather, the family members would arrive at Ranshi City when the north wind blew, where they would rest for a winter, and after the beginning of spring, they would continue to march towards the Guannai, completely removing the worries of the officials.
The officials of Tingzhou are very clear that the marshal is likely to make a big move, and they are extremely excited about this, and now the sentinel of the army has reached the Shiqi River as far as the Shiqi River, for this river, Yun Ye's interest is not ordinary, oil can come out of the ground, and finally merge into the river to form a pitch-black river, which is simply too wasteful. (It is true, Shiqi River, ancient place name.) )
There is oil, Yun Ye has countless thermal oil, there is no need to cherish raw materials like Chang'an here, he is ready to carry out predatory development here.
The merchants who made zuò lamp oil in Tingzhou had made a fortune, and Yun Ye's army was buying fierce fire oil without restrictions, as long as you could make it, he would buy it all, Fan Hongyi looked at the mountains of clay pots and was worried.
"Marshal, we have too much fierce fire oil, according to our current consumption rate, we can't use it up in ten years, and the money we brought with the army is about to run out."
Yun Ye pushed away the paperwork, rubbed the corners of his eyes and said to Fan Hongyi, "Many?" How do I feel that there is still little, fierce fire oil is a good thing, it can be used to fight, it can be used to burn fire, and when our camel city is established, you will feel that no matter how much you can't meet the consumption of the army, Lao Fan, gunpowder and fierce fire oil is another new way of fighting, we are accumulating experience in this area, you can rest assured, when Yuezhou transports countless iron buckets, you don't have to worry that there will be no place to store it.
You have to step up the production of hot air balloons now, when our whole army enters the camel city, it is our eyes, five, absolutely not less than five, the new fuel injection stove transported from Chang'an will be installed on it, you select people to train well, our hot air balloons do not need to fly everywhere, just tied to the camel city with ropes, the danger is much smaller than when in Chang'an, there are many people in my personal guard who know the flag language, the focus is to choose from them.
As for the fact that the army has no money, please, don't you blush when you say it? How could the army run out of money? You go to Tian Yuanyi to discuss this matter, you are a dead soldier, we have the strongest soldiers, and we are in the busiest business road, if we go to the military department to ask for money, the most incompetent general hat in the Tang Dynasty will be buckled on my head. “
As soon as Fan Hong saw Yun Ye and began to study the official document again, he had to go to Tian Yuanyi, Tian Yuanyi smiled very happily, since the marshal came to Beiting, Tian Yuanyi felt like he was living in a dream.
Originally, he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother and wanted to send his two sons to Yushan Academy to study, but he couldn't get in, but Dashuai threw over a waist card, and let his two children go to Yushan Academy to take the exam, if the results are not bad, they will be given priority to enter the academy, and the child and his wife have returned to Chang'an with the Cheng family caravan, and he suddenly felt that the road ahead was bright. The grievance of guarding the lonely city in the Western Regions by himself is not a matter at all. He followed the marshal to the east and west, and it was not a matter at all, even if he accidentally died in battle, it was not a big deal, because his ministry sent from the Western Regions to the deposed ambassador to join the army. (To be continued......)
