Together, black clouds shrouded, and the wind carried goose feathers and snow falling one after another.

Due to the large number of Turkic young people who came one after another under the "inspiration" of the Great Khan, today's Qi army camp is very lively, and even the biting cold wind cannot dispel the enthusiasm of the Turks to join the army.

After they saw the mutton soup boiling on several large stoves in front of the camp, and received the blades and armor issued by the Qi army, this enthusiasm became even stronger.

Until dusk, there were herdsmen on horseback, some alone, and some fathers and sons who joined the army. As soon as a herdsman got off his horse, he rubbed his hands and asked the sergeant who received him at the door: "I heard Nayan of our tribe say the day before yesterday that the general of Qi is short of manpower in the war, and as long as he comes, he will take care of food and shelter, and also send clothes, salt and a big iron pot, is it true?" ”

The sergeant in charge of receiving them was from a military household in the Six Towns, and his Khitan, Xianbei and Turkic dialects were all very good, and he didn't know how many times he had been asked this kind of question today, he was busy copying the roster, and pointed impatiently to the notice board behind him:

"It's all written on it, see for yourself."

The herdsman's dark face turned purple, and he looked embarrassed: "I can't read..."

The sergeant was a little irritable, and was just about to reprimand a few words, when he raised his eyes, he saw the general and Pei Shilang standing not far in front, remembering what Pei Shilang had told two days ago that he wanted to give the herdsmen who came to join the army 'the same care as home and the same warmth as spring', so his face changed at the same speed as light, and he was amiable in the spring breeze and drizzle: "I'm sorry, I was too busy just now, what did you just ask?" ”

"I just wanted to know if it was real to send clothes, iron pots and salt."

"Of course it's true! All over the world, who doesn't know that we are treated well when we join the army! I'm telling you... Not only will we send iron pots and clothes, but we will also send you several large bags of food and wine! ”

"What, is it good? Have you ever drunk the wine of the Central Plains? Haven't drunk it, have you? I tell you, it's much better than the mare's milk wine you drink, and the sweat says it's good when you drink it! We also prepared armor and weapons for you, you don't have to bring them yourself, you cut off two people's heads, you can even take weapons and armor home, and you don't have to hand in all the captures you get on the battlefield, it's all yours! ”

The sergeant flickered at a bunch of herdsmen, spitting everywhere, and the herdsmen below were dazed by his spittle, these simple and somewhat over-the-top Turkic herdsmen had seen such a battle?

You don't have to bring your own armor and weapons, you can eat and wear when you come, and the gains from the battlefield are your own...

Those who have a little less psychological endurance, compared the general of the Qi army with their own chieftain, and were moved to tears on the spot, and they hated to immediately shed blood for Daqi.

The sergeant hit the railroad while it was hot: "Are there any adult men like you in your family who haven't come yet?" ”

There are younger ones, probably who have not experienced the sinister routines of the Central Plains, so they honestly explained at the time: "I still have four younger brothers, who will soon become adults, and they want to come, but Abba won't let them come... He said you lied to us. ”

"Alas, confused! Rats' eyes! Do you have something to eat when you sit at home on this snowy day? Come to us, wait for the battle, change a few big iron pots and grain and go back to make porridge and drink, isn't he fragrant? ”

“……”

"We're still going to lie to people, everyone, do I look like that? I, Zhang Dabiao, do business, have always been childish, and have always paid attention to convincing people with morality. To tell you the truth, my family lives in Wuchuan, if I lie to you, you can go to Wuchuan to find me at any time! ”

“……”

Zhang Dabiao shook his head and looked distressed: "I don't understand, why do people still not agree to such a good thing?" We only want to benefit the Turkic people, why are we misunderstood? ”

“……”

"In this way, there is still plenty of time, in order to reflect our reputation, those who are closer to the family can put their names here with us, first find the degree branch official to get some remuneration and go back to the family to see, tell them, come quickly, we will not recruit people after tomorrow night, the opportunity must not be lost!"

"You stupid mouths don't know how to persuade? You don't need to go door-to-door to persuade you, just find the one who is close to you! ”

"Anyway, you can't herd sheep on a snowy day, and you're idle, so it's better to come here to make extra money... Pull five people to send five stone grains, pull ten people to directly send a set of leather armor for nothing! Double the pay! ”

"Wouldn't it be beautiful if you tell your relatives and friends, and your relatives and friends tell their relatives and friends, if you develop layer by layer, you will achieve him, and he will achieve others, and achieve each other?"

This scene fell in the eyes of all the generals, and everyone was silent.

After a while, Luo Yi said suspiciously: "It turns out that his name is Zhang Dabiao?" Didn't he tell me before that his surname was Li and he was from Guanzhong? ”

Speaking of this, everyone looked at Pei Shiju with strange eyes.

Pei Shiju clasped his hands in his sleeves, looked at the sky with his eyes, looked harmless to humans and animals, and said weakly: "Why do you care so much, he said that his name is Zhang Dabiao, then he is called Zhang Dabiao." ”

Made, the reader really has bad water in his stomach...

Everyone was slandering, and Da Xi Changru finally spoke: "It's a talent." Pei Shilang tried his best to promote the plan of splitting the Turks, and came up with such a good idea, not only has a big deal, but also a means of stealing chickens and dogs, and it is a talent among talents, no wonder Your Majesty values you so much, after the end of this battle, Pei Shilang can't run away with a head work. ”

"Thank you, General!" Pei Shiju calmly arched his hand, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth fully exposed his mood. For months, the strings in his heart had been tightened, for fear that the wrong step would cause his plan to fall short. Now that he has received the verbal promise of Daxi Changru, it means that everything he has done has been completed, and he can happily fish next.

Anyway, it won't be my turn to be a scholar to fight.

The smile in Pei Shiju's eyes became thicker:

"In fact, if it weren't for the drought on the grasslands this summer, which led to a bad harvest and a lot of herders starved to death, this matter would not have gone so smoothly."

"We have food, clothing, and supplies they desperately want, and they will inevitably choose to follow us, I estimate that within three days, we will recruit 20,000 or 30,000 people, not a problem!"

Da Xi Changru snorted, and swept the tiger's eyes across the messy school ground: "This is a feat given to me by God, helping me defeat Ashina in one fell swoop, and restore peace in northern Xinjiang...... These Turks must be strictly guarded, and their chaotic military discipline must not affect the officers and men of our army, and people from the same tribe cannot stay in the same battalion, so as not to cause changes. ”

"Yes!"

The reason why the grassland peoples fought fiercely was not only because they were cultivated in a harsh environment, but also because they were all based on tribes, and they were more or less related to each other, and they went into battle as father and son soldiers.

But their biggest drawback is that they are unrestrained, which leads to lax discipline and only obeys the orders of their own clan leaders.

In a great battle, even the Great Khan himself came and ordered everyone to fight to the death. As long as the leader of their tribe calls for withdrawal, they will still withdraw without hesitation.

Before the complete collapse of the tribal system, it was impossible for either the Mobei Royal Court or the Central Plains Emperor to do anything to them.

To interrupt their establishment is to prevent them from being linked together and to avoid the possibility of riots.

The big war is imminent, and the whole Qi army is fully prepared, and the entire overall situation must not be destroyed because of a little negligence...... Da Xi Changru led the people to the camp again, there was a group of Turks in the school field was trying to shoot arrows, among them there was a Turkic boy with a shabby fur hat, but only eleven or twelve years old, but he had a good archery skill, one hundred and fifty steps away, only one arrow out of ten arrows fell on target.

Da Xi Changru watched it with relish on the side, and suddenly asked: "Luo Yi, you praise yourself every day that there is little in the world and no one on the ground, what do you think of your archery skills compared to him?" ”

Luo Yi disdainfully nununed his mouth and did not speak.

He grabbed the long bow that was placed on the rack, stepped on the horse, and stood one hundred and fifty paces away, and shot at a gallop, eight of the ten arrows hit the target, and three of the arrows hit the bull's eye, and dismounted triumphantly in the cheers of the crowd.

"What's it to stand there and shoot arrows? I can gallop and shoot at a gallop, and one of the three arrows will hit the enemy by the throat! ”

Da Xi Changru was silent, and also took an iron tire bow, bent his arms, set up arrows, aimed, and stretched his bow like a full moon! A series of actions turned out to be without lag!

The goose feathers and heavy snow drifted over the school field, and in the hazy light, the silhouette of this thin old man with a thick skeleton was like a god of war!

He shot ten arrows in a flash, each of which pierced the bull's-eye!

Even the Turks, who boasted of being good at shooting, were dumbfounded.

Da Xi Changru pulled the arrow from the arrow target, handed it back to Luo Yi, smiled slightly, and said earnestly:

"Xun Zi said: One hundred shots are missing, not for good shooting... I see that you have been a little drifting recently, with the attitude of the game to the battlefield, I am afraid that you will die without a place to be buried, as soon as the war starts, you are the vanguard of our army, you have to keep in mind! ”

Qi Luoyi's cheeks turned red: "Don't worry, general, I understand!" ”

Da Xi Changru didn't say much, and went straight back to the big tent.

In the past two days, the movements of the Eastern Turks became more and more frequent, and the wolf cavalry taken by Ashina frequently attacked and harassed the Qi army camp and the surrounding camps, but Da Xi Changru ignored it. In another two days, the Eastern Turkic army had been assembled and was coming, agitating outside the camp, but Daxi Changru still ignored it. Two days later, in the middle of the night, the scouts came to report that they had seen the Turks camped thirty miles away, and the golden wolf flag had been erected!

Da Xi Changru stood up and said: "The time has come, beat the drum and gather the generals, and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

The sky is not yet bright, the night wind is howling, like the starry torches shining brightly, the banner of the Qi army and the handsome flag of Da Xi Changru are waving in the open place of the school field, Da Xi Changru is full of armor, and the sword points to the direction of the golden wolf flag:

"All the troops are attacking!" At this moment, the Eastern Turks still don't have time to react!
