As night fell, the daytime feast came to an end, and everyone went back to their tents drunk. Rangan had already wanted to rest, but the eldest son Duji walked into Rangan's tent, and he knelt down in front of his father Khan and said:
"How can the Turkic soldiers be handed over to the commander of the Sui general? My son is willing to be the deputy commander and command 20,000 cavalrymen to the Khitan."
But Duji had his own mind. This time he attacked the Khitan, among the 20,000 cavalry soldiers that Father Khan was about to send, 10,000 of them were Father Khan's guards. Duji's eyes were fixed on these 10,000 guards.
It is the most elite cavalry of the Turks, all of which were selected from the various Turkic tribes. Duji wanted to take the opportunity to occupy this ten thousand troops as his own. If his father Khan dies, even if he succeeds as Khan, he will be the Khan, and these ten thousand guards.
The army may not be able to fall into his hands.
Now that Father Khan has been drinking halfway through, he may not be able to understand his thoughts, Duji wanted to take this opportunity to convince Father Khan to agree.
Although Rangan was half drunk, he did not forget some of the most basic principles. He waved his hand and smiled: "You are Ye Hu, how can you stay under the Sui general? You can't go. If you annoy Yang Yuanqing, you
If you can't beat him, you will lose your prestige."
Rangan still remembers that two years ago, Duji and Shi Shuhu were secretly killed by Yang Yuanqing. He knew that his son had a bad relationship with Yang Yuanqing. He didn't want to cause trouble in this matter anymore, so he no longer gave Duji a chance and said decisively: "
You go back and rest! Don’t talk about this anymore.”
Duji had no choice but to slowly retreat. Rangan looked up at the tent and thought for a while. He wanted to find a suitable person to command his guards, and at the same time cooperated with Yang Yuanqing to complete the task. Finally, he thought of someone.
Then he ordered his head to say, "Go and find me Wutu!"
......Duji returned to his tent. Although his father Khan refused his request for accompanying him, he was not willing to let it go. He always felt that there should be a way. In the Guards, he had a confidant general.
Even if he had less than 10,000 guards, he could at least get a rich spoil from the Khitan.
"Go and find Aruda!" Duji ordered.
As soon as he returned to the tent, one of his personal soldiers hurried over and whispered in his ear. Duji understood, and he turned over and dismounted and walked towards another tent.
Duji walked into the tent, and a fat middle-aged man with a medium figure quickly stood up and saluted him, "See Your Highness Ye Hu!"
Speaking skillfully Turkic, Duji nodded with a smile, "When did Manager Wang arrive?"
"Report to Your Highness, I just arrived this afternoon and brought a lot of new goods. This is a list of goods. Please check it out."
Duji looked at the list and frowned, "Where is the pig iron I want? Why don't there?"
"Report to Your Highness, something happened in the capital. Pig Iron is now investigating tightly and dare not act rashly. Mr. Yuwen said that he would deliver the goods after the show."
"How long will it take to be the limelight?" Duji said a little unhappy.
"Several months or half a year!"
Duji pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "I can wait for a few months or half a year, but I need 100,000 kilograms of pig iron at a time."
The middle-aged man was shocked, "Your Highness, this is too much! In the past, he gave away 20,000 pounds."
Duji shook his head, "I really need it urgently, this way! If I give 100,000 kilograms at a time, the price will double again, and I will pay with gold."
The middle-aged man thought about it and said that the risk was very high. The key was how Mr. Yuwen made the decision. He did not dare to agree, so he bowed and said, "I can't make the decision when the position is low. I will discuss it with Mr. Yuwen. I will only do it after the decision is made by the master.
Moreover, there is not so much inventory in the Mayi County warehouse, so we still need to transfer goods from all over the country.”
"I know, I believe Mr. Yuwen will be happy to do this good deal."
Duji is very confident. The price he paid is equivalent to ten times the price of Zhongyuan pig iron. With Yu Culture and his greed, how can he resist the temptation of ten times huge profits?
Duji came out of the tent of childhood. At this time, his confidant Aruda had been waiting for a long time. Aruda was one of the five ten thousand men under Duji. He was brave and good at fighting and was deeply trusted by Duji. Now the Khan Guards Army
He served as the Left Killing General and commanded three thousand-man teams.
Seeing Duji walk forward, Aruda hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See Ye Hu!"
Duji nodded, "Come to my tent, I have something to tell you."
......The grand banquet did not last for three days. Two days later, Yang Yuanqing led 10,000 Turkic cavalry to the east and rushed towards the Khitan territory.
Rangan handed over 20,000 cavalry to Yang Yuanqing, one of which was Rangan's Guards, was the extremely elite army of Rangan. He was led by Yang Yuanqing's old friend, Turkic son-in-law Wutu, and obeyed Yang Yuanqing's command, while the other army came from the closest place.
A Turkic tribe in the Khitan, called the Mengwu tribe, is often dealing with the Khitans and is very suitable for this mission.
After eight days of march, the team had left the Turkic tent nearly two thousand miles away. On the morning of that day, the army arrived at the Mengwu tribe located in the middle of the Kruren River.
The Mengwu tribe is a large part of the Turkic tribes, with nearly 100,000 tribes, and can form an army of 30,000 people. Wutu showed the chief of the Mengwu, the golden arrows and bamboo tube orders of the Khan of Qimin, and asked Meng.
Wu's troops sent 10,000 cavalry to accept the commander of commander Yang Yuanqing.
The chief of the Mongolian Gu was named Wanda. Like other Turkic tribes, he also acted with profit. Khan's golden arrows and bamboo tube orders were the same, and more importantly, it was profitable. If Khan's orders were not used, they would have
They did not dare to send troops to attack the Khitan, and they were also afraid of the revenge of the Khitan, but since the Turkic tent was behind them to support them, they sent troops without any scruples.
He sent 10,000 troops to Yang Yuanqing, who began to rectify and train the 10,000 Mengwu army. To be precise, this was not 10,000 cavalry, but 10,000 herdsmen, with backward equipment and wearing rough leather armor
, holding a homemade spear and knife in his hand, and his discipline is scattered.
Yang Yuanqing did not accept the commander and commander of the Mengwu tribe, but only accepted the commander. The commander and commander of the Qianwu tribe need to be appointed by himself as compensation for the Mengwu tribe. He promised to divide the spoils of the Sui army.
After giving the Mengwu tribe 30,000 sheep, the chief happily agreed to Yang Yuanqing's exchange conditions.
Yang Guang had two purposes in the mission assigned to Yang Yuanqing this time. One was to teach the Khitan clowns a lesson and leave them with bloody memories. The second was to try to get the Turks into mercenaries of the Sui Dynasty and use the grassland people.
To deal with grassland people, this method is not to give a task to the Turks, but to be completed by the Turks, but must be led by the Sui future, so that the Turkic army must absolutely obey the command of the Sui generals.
From the perspective of pure military operations, there is no need for Yang Yuanqing to reorganize the army. The Turks had a strict military system, with ten, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousand people. Each had an army leader. As long as he could control two ten thousand commanders,
Then he can control the entire army.
But Yang Yuanqing had his own ideas. The reason why he went to Qi County to borrow Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin was that his purpose was to win over them through this war and wait for them to use for themselves one day. Since he took them to the battle, he
We must give them the opportunity to lead the army to battle.
In the big tent, Yang Yuanqing was explaining his plan to reorganize the troops to everyone.
"These ten thousand Turkic cavalry disciplines are scattered, and they are basically herdsmen. I need to spend ten days to carry out intensive training for them. This task will be given to you. From now on, you are the commanders of the Turkic people. You can follow the
The Sui army's method is to train them simply, and the key is to stop the orders. Our battle against the Khitans is likely to be at night, so we also need to train their ability to fight at night."
Yang Yuanqing glanced at Qin Qiong and saw that he seemed to have something to say, so he smiled and said, "If any suggestions are required by Captain Qin Qiang, please speak out."
Everyone laughed. The title of Prison Qin Qianfu was really interesting. Qin Qiong stood up and bowed to Yang Yuanqing, "I have two suggestions from Huye to report to the general!"
Yang Yuanqing smiled and nodded. This was the effect he wanted to see. Everyone called him a general and called himself a humble official. In this way, Qin Qiong and others became his generals. They had this mark in their hearts, regardless of their bodies.
Wherever there is chaos in the world, they will automatically come to surrender to themselves, rather than to Wagangzhai or Wang Shichong. This is an extremely important sense of belonging. Yang Yuanqing also regrets a little. He should also send Shan Xiongxin to the same place.
bring.
"Please say, General Qin!"
Qin Qiong pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, I am worried about whether the night battle methods and some military means of our Sui army, such as listening to drums and identifying flags, such as some basic fighting techniques, will be leaked to the Turks."
Yang Yuanqing laughed, "It's the first time that General Qin has dealt with the Turks. It's understandable that he has this worry, but I want to tell you that the Turks have known about the military means you mentioned for a long time. It's easy to know these things, just casually.
You can learn from some captured Sui army that Qimin was defeated and retreated to Mayi County. The late emperor sent Sui army to train them. Qimin Khan may know better than me. You don’t have to
Worry, even if you train them in normal ways."
Qin Qiong blushed. It was really easy for Turkic people to know about these things. He was thinking too much. He bowed and said, "The second question of low-level job is how to communicate in language. Turkic soldiers speak Turkic and do not know Chinese. We
He doesn’t understand Turkic language, so training is difficult.”
Not only Qin Qiong was worried, but the others also started whispering. Pei Xingyan also said: "General, this is indeed a problem and we cannot communicate."
Yang Yuanqing had thought of it, and pointed at his eight personal soldiers and smiled: "All my eight personal soldiers can speak Turkic language, they don't know how to speak complicated, but simple communication is fine, they will follow you one of them.
As your general, help you communicate with the Turks."
Yang Yuanqing thought very carefully, with ten thousand commanders, in addition to Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin, his six iron guards can also serve as one position. Among the iron guards, Yang Dalang and Yang Balang will say a few words.
Turkic language does not require translation. Each of the other eight people is equipped with their own personal soldiers, while the rest follow them.
Among these people, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin had no problem. Pei Xingyan had been a left guard for a year and could barely train Turkic soldiers. The only thing he was worried about was Luo Shixin. The young man was only twelve years old. Although his martial arts skills were very high, he might not be able to do so.
He could suppress the Turks, and he might not be clear about the training methods of the army.
Yang Yuanqing walked up to Luo Shixin, patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Or you will follow me!"
Luo Shixin shook his head, "The general underestimated me. My father is a military officer. I have been in the army since I was a child. I started to participate in county military training last year. I have no problem."
Yang Yuanqing turned around and thought to Qin Qiong, and Qin Qiong nodded, meaning that Luo Shixin had no problem.
This is the best, Yang Yuanqing smiled happily and said, "Okay! Then you are the one, Captain Luo Qianfu, don't let me down."
