The stars on the grassland in the night were like beautiful gems. Yang Ji stood on an arrow tower in Zuowubu, looking bored from afar and looking closer. Appearing in Zuowu Bu's eyes, the shouts of killing have slowly faded away. The Xianbei soldiers were enjoying the joy after the war. They drove the Turkic women out like devils entering the village, and then looted them. The people who had snatched them let out howls of joy, and immediately tore the women's clothes to pieces, and ravaged the women to their heart's content. The prey, and those who couldn't catch it, let out bursts of sighs. But then, another woman was kicked out, and then there was another round of looting.
Compared to the bustling scene over there with the Xianbei people, the Sui army station was so quiet that there was almost no one around. Except for the sentries who were patrolling meticulously, the soldiers had already taken the time to rest. No one participated in the Xianbei people's feast. On the one hand, it was strictly prohibited. Military discipline has penetrated into the bones of every soldier.
On the other hand, the concepts are different. The soldiers of the Sui Army believed in the long-term and long-lasting principles. They cared very much about their parents, wives, children, and family reunion. The habit they developed was to try hard to prevent themselves from dying on the battlefield. Before the war, As long as there is a moment of free time after the war, everyone will use it to recharge their batteries and try to be in peak condition to face the upcoming battle, instead of wasting time, physical strength, and energy in sensuality, even if a small group of people are ready to make a move , are also suppressed by military discipline. If you can't control your fifth limb, then you will definitely be one of the death squads tomorrow. The grassland people are different. They have lived in a harsh environment for generations. They all seem to have a consciousness and understanding of "I will die tomorrow". What this brings is timely enjoyment, so they all have the idea of "there is something for now". They have an "open-minded" mind that makes them drunk today and worries tomorrow; as long as they have the opportunity, they will vent and indulge themselves, drinking as much as they want before the war and playing with women after the war.
Looking at the Xianbei soldiers howling excitedly, Yang Ji sighed deeply. He couldn't care about the Xianbei people, and he didn't bother to care. The important thing was that he was a little worried about his soldiers.
His soldiers followed him from Ganzhou to Yizhou and Chuyuebu, and then fought thousands of miles to get here. The long battle made everyone's nerves tense. He was worried that if his soldiers Without a way to vent, sooner or later they will turn into lunatics who only know how to kill. If we go back to the Sui Dynasty, sooner or later these lunatics will turn from "national heroes" to criminals.
Yang Ji didn't know what others were like, but now he didn't even recognize himself. In the past, he just wanted to be a happy and carefree king of the dandy. He even thought about what would happen if the Sui Dynasty was like that in history. After being played by Yang Guang, at worst, when the situation is not good, he will take his servants at home and go to the sea to become the owner of the island, and live happily for the rest of his life. As for future generations, it is the business of future generations.
But now?
First, he became the general manager of Liangzhou inexplicably, and then he attacked the Great Lakes area inexplicably, killing Turks to a river of blood. He didn't know when he became so responsible and missionary, and he even killed people for fun. It's the same thing. When I beheaded the Turkic soldiers from behind today, I silently counted the number of beheadings in my mind. This made him feel deeply worried. If he continued like this, he didn't know if he would be destroyed by the killings and become a complete madman.
But no matter what, people have to be killed. Only in this way can these uncivilized barbarians be taught an unforgettable lesson. Only by making them afraid of killing will they not have to continue killing and can return to a normal life and be with their own lives. The little lady makes love to me.
With his thoughts at this point, Yang Ji not only felt at ease, but also felt homesick.
I miss my nagging old lady who is both mother and sister, I miss my fiancée who is gentle, virtuous, beautiful and hot, as well as Yang Jian, Gongsun Huan and others. The little fat girl misses her very much too.
"Your Highness!" Liu Rumei climbed onto the arrow tower with her wet hair on her head. She had taken a bath, and her hair that was not yet dry had not yet been pulled up. She was only lightly tied with a silk ribbon, letting her hair grow long. It was worn on the shoulders and back, and a light green Hufu was worn on the body, making him look heroic.
Seeing Yang Ji looking over her, her face began to heat up. Ever since she was seen by Yang Ji in an embarrassed state while practicing jujitsu, she didn't know if it was an illusion or something. She always felt that there was something wrong with Yang Ji's vision and that he was a thief. He stared at the vitals of his body anxiously. Just thinking about it felt like a rat on fire running around inside his body, catching fire wherever he ran.
"Go to sleep, there is no need to keep vigil tonight." Although Yang Ji's seven Suzaku guards did not have to fight, they had been following the army until now, and it was very hard; when he went to bed, Zhang Chuchen, Liu Rumei, Murong Xianyue each took one of the top soldiers on duty; the remaining one was arranged as a reserve by them. If anyone was in poor health, he would be assigned to take over.
"No need, Your Highness, I have already slept." Liu Rumei said softly, "Aman, Anu, I, and I will keep vigil throughout the night."
Yang Ji glanced at Liu Rumei in surprise and teased, "You haven't been sleeping since noon, right?"
The battle to annihilate the Zuowu tribe ended before noon. The main force in this battle was the Xianbei people who had a grudge against the Zuowu tribe. The Sui army only played a supporting role.
Although the war ended quickly and the Sui army fought easily, the officers and soldiers of the Sui army were not invincible. They fought from last night to dawn, and then to Zuowubu. They were all exhausted, so Yang Ji did not continue. Instead of killing them, let the soldiers rest for a day in Zuowubu.
The soldiers took turns resting and patrolling, and were more restricted by military law, so Yang Ji hardly needed to worry about them.
As for the Suzaku Guards, they are special beings. They are neither within the Sui Dynasty's establishment nor within the jurisdiction of the personal soldiers. As long as Yang Ji doesn't care, no one will ask anything.
And Yang Ji adopted a laissez-faire attitude, so they would not be punished when and how long they slept; however, they themselves were very self-disciplined and never made any mistakes.
Liu Rumei's face burned when she heard this, and she felt very embarrassed, but she still whispered honestly: "I overslept if they didn't call me. Now I'm not sleepy anymore, so I can stay the night."
Yang Ji couldn't help laughing.
"Your Highness!" Liu Rumei felt very embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "The Xianbei people found two stunning beauties in Zuowu. They said they were Ashina Zuowu's concubines. Murong Yan had someone kidnapped them and gave them to Your Highness. It’s in His Highness’s tent now.”
"Tch!" Yang Ji sneered: "How can there be any stunning beauties in the Turks? These barbarians must be rare and strange."
"It seems beautiful, but it seems ugly!"
"What do you mean?" Yang Ji asked curiously.
"Not only do they look different from us, they also don't look like the Qiang, Xianbei, or Turks. Anyway, they just look weird. It's wrong to call them beautiful, and it's wrong to call them ugly." Liu Rumei hesitated, and then said: "They were very white, with blue eyes and hair like gold threads."
Yang Ji understood that Liu Rumei was talking about Caucasian people. He had lived in the Sui Dynasty for so long and had never seen one before. Moreover, the ancients had different aesthetic values, so Liu Rumei said, "They seem to be beautiful, but they also seem to be ugly."
This principle is just like when European and American movies were first released in China. At that time, the country people thought that European and American people were extremely ugly, but they couldn't explain why and where they were ugly. They could only point to their high noses and Blue eyes and yellow hair.
Yang Ji said with a righteous face: "I am the commander of the First Army, how can I break the law? Send someone back and tell Murong Yan not to send these messy women to my tent in the future. If you are greedy for other people's wives and concubines, , what’s the difference between me and that thief Cao?”
It's not that Yang Ji has a mysophobia or that he doesn't want to play with the golden cat, but he is afraid of death and dare not touch it.
Wars of annexation between various tribes in the grasslands continued to occur, and women in small and medium-sized tribes were almost forced to change countless husbands. And these two white people from far away places must have experienced more men. Who knows if they are sick?
For safety reasons, it is best not to seek quick results, lest you suffer from inexplicable and incurable diseases. Even if you really can't help it, you still have to find a fresh peach like Liu Rumei.
"Here!" Liu Rumei had no idea that the hypocritical man in front of her was plotting against her. After hearing these awe-inspiring words, Liu Rumei felt awe-struck in her heart.
. . . . . . .
To the north of Zuowu, the grassland at the junction of Har Lake and Har Wusu Lake was the only passage for the Sui army to go north. Ashina Huaide, who had retreated here, mobilized the herdsmen on the grassland to seize the time to build defenses in the narrow place. They built fences and dug trenches to prevent cavalry raids, and at the same time moved the southern herdsmen northward to avoid being poisoned by the Sui army and the Xianbei people.
Ashina Huaide was not as relaxed as Yang Ji. Even though he knew that the Sui army and the Xianbei people had stopped advancing in Zuowubu, he was still on pins and needles. Especially when he knew that the Sui army had not retreated, he felt like a snake with a bow and a bird in fright. a feeling of.
The Zuowu tribe was destroyed and the people of the tribe were wantonly slaughtered and plundered. Ashina Huaide didn't care at all. After all, this kind of thing was very common on the grassland and was nothing special.
The key is that this army is stationed fifty miles away, but his military strength is at a far inferior disadvantage. This makes Ashina Wilder feel like a thorn in his throat.
He sighed and said: "Revenge is not important, what is important is how to make these Sui troops leave!"
A captain of ten thousand men saw Ashina Huaide worried and restless, and advised him: "Khan, we have sent several batches of messengers. I believe it won't be long before the Great Khan's army will return. By then, These damn Sui troops will never come back."
Ashina Wilde smiled bitterly and said, "That's what I say, but can we wait until that time?"
The captain was speechless.
They were defeated to this point, and the soldiers fled and scattered. The number of soldiers was less than 10,000. Even though young men from surrounding ministries were gathered together, the number of soldiers available was only 30,000. Not to mention their combat power, their numbers were even inferior to those of the Sui army and the Xianbei people.
Moreover, this so-called pass and fortress is about twenty miles wide. Once their forces are spread out, the enemy can attack from anywhere, making them impossible to defend against. If they concentrate their forces together, they will also be unable to defend against them.
Ashina Huaide sat on his seat, looking at the two torches swaying in the wind and flickering in the wind at the entrance of the big tent, as if he was seeing the Turkic Khanate in its dying years.
I couldn't help but feel that I was getting old.
In fact, Ashina Huaide is not that old. At less than forty years old, he is not only the concubine of Bujia Khan, but also a very rare warrior general in Turks. It is precisely because he has been sitting at the junction of Turks and Xueyantuo for many years that he became the leader of the Turks. This allowed Bujia Khan to confidently and boldly fight for a long time with the Sui Dynasty and Qimin Khan in the eastern Turks.
However, Xue Yantuo, who had suppressed Xue Yantuo so hard that he could not make any progress, was completely defeated when he met the Sui army. This huge gap made him feel hopeless and discouraged.
"Khan!" Another captain of ten thousand saw that Ashina Huaide was quite decadent. He quickly pressed his chest with one hand and bowed slightly and said: "Actually, it's all the fault of the Xianbei dogs. It was they who rebelled, so We were caught off guard, otherwise we would have defeated the Sui army by now."
"If we lose, we lose. What's the point of talking about this now? It's our fault that we didn't discover the Xianbei people's evil intentions earlier."
Ashina Huaide withdrew his gaze and looked at his confidants: "The Xianbei people are not scary, but the Sui army who is good at conquering and fighting is scary. Have you found out who the general of the Sui army is?"
The Sui army has killed the southern and central parts of the Great Lakes region, leaving corpses everywhere and rivers of blood, but they still don't know who the leader of the Sui army is. This is the most frustrating part.
"The warriors who went to Delek Lake to inquire have brought back news that the leader of the Sui army is the Sui Dynasty King Wei..."
"King of Wei Yang Shuang?" Ashina Huaide was shocked and looked at the captain who answered with a look of disbelief.
"He's Yang Shuang's son. His name is Yang Ji. He's the one the Great Khan captured and sacrificed alive."
"Living sacrifice?" Ashina Huaide smiled bitterly and leaned back in his chair. He knew that arresting Yang Ji for "living sacrifice" was an excuse for his father to send troops. However, his father probably would not have thought that Yang Ji would come to his door on his own initiative; now Not only did they come, but they were also active and active, killing people and setting fires everywhere, causing huge disasters to the Turks.
What made him even more disgusted was that all the army had gone to the south, and his own army had suffered a huge defeat. Now he had no way or the strength to capture people and sacrifice them alive.
Ashina Huaide pondered for a long time and then ordered: "Send someone to inform Tan Khan and ask him to send 20,000 soldiers south to help in the battle."
"This... I'm afraid it's more difficult, right?"
"What's so difficult about this?" Ashina Wilder said coldly: "It was he who lost the gate to the Great Lakes District, and he needs to bear all the consequences now. If he wants to die, just sit back and watch us perish. Go down and make arrangements, and have someone tell him what he said."
"yes!"
