Chapter 1328 Exploitation
Outside Taiyuan City, Yang Guang held the bowl.

"I wish our warriors of the Great Sui Dynasty a triumphant return. Toast to victory!"

"Drink victory!"

"Drink victory!"

"Drink victory!"

More than a hundred people shouted three times, and then drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

"Let's go!"

Wang Yan carried the lance on his shoulder and waved his hand. More than a hundred people jumped onto their horses. Wang Yan reined in his horse and turned around, looked at Xiao Mei who was seeing him off, smiled gently, then turned around and rode away.

"drive!"

A lot of shouts were heard, and a team of more than a hundred people set out, but it was a earth-shaking movement.

Because each person rode two horses, one horse was tied to another horse, and Wang Yan rode three horses, all of which were absolutely excellent horses. More than 200 war horses, galloping out together, had a mighty momentum.

Xiao Mei watched the team go away. When she turned to leave, she saw Yang Guang and Yu Wenzhi looking at her. She bowed and left quietly...

Yang Guang and Yu Wenzhi also withdrew their gazes and continued to look at the smoke and dust going away...

Wang Yan didn't flirt with Xiao Mei. They had said everything they needed to say on the way here, and Xiao Mei knew how to do things. As long as there was no definite news of Wang Yan's death, no one would touch Xiao Mei, and she would just do her job peacefully.

In fact, there was nothing much to do. It was nothing more than doing some business, looking for people who could weave and dye cloth, and waiting for Wang Yan to come back from the war to study the dyeing and printing formulas.

In addition, if we buy some land, find poor scholars to teach the children of the tenants, and let the tenants raise chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, we will be successful. As for how to do it, we still have to wait for Wang Yan to come back and do research...

The team of more than a hundred people and two hundred cavalrymen rested for a day at Yanmen Pass. After eating and sleeping well, they rushed out directly.

It is not so easy to go to the grassland. After all, this is a border area, and the Turks are not stupid, and they have also made arrangements here. So if Wang Yan and others want to go out, they have to move quickly and rush in directly.

This is the first battle...

The cavalry formed a spearhead formation, with Wang Yan at the head. Without stopping, they crushed the Turks and attacked them forcefully.

The guards of Yanmen Pass were all stunned. It was too fierce. Wang Yan's horse spear was swinging, and some Turks were lifted up into the sky. He was very brave.

It was such an easy battle, with only a few people injured and no one killed, and they easily advanced and disappeared into the Gobi Desert in the north...

The Turks were a powerful enemy, but throughout history, when the Central Plains dynasties were at their peak, the surrounding barbarian tribes all had a bad fate.

When Yang Jian first came to power, he split the huge Turkic tribe into two parts, east and west, and they fought against each other endlessly, but both sides paid tribute to the Sui Dynasty, which was quite effective.

The Sui Dynasty might not be able to defeat a strong and unified Turkic people. After all, the Turkic people reached their peak during the Sui and Tang dynasties. Yang Guang was trapped in Yanmen before, and Li Shimin made the Weishui Alliance after.

However, the Turkic system was there, and there was no way to achieve complete unification. They were a nomadic people, each with their own Khan, and under the Khan there were various grassland nobles, and they were in the form of a federal alliance.

If there is a war, everyone will gather together. If there is no war, everyone will live their own lives. Therefore, the one who commands the grassland is because he has the greatest power and has won over the majority of people.

They can win a war together, but they cannot lose a war together. If they fail, there will be civil strife. After all, there are a lot of Khans and a lot of hilltops on the grassland, and they all have their own interests to pursue, and no one will submit to anyone else.

The Central Plains dynasties have always used this to divide and win over the grasslands. When it comes to playing tricks, the scholars and officials of the Central Plains dynasties are really good at it, and they are fooled by these foreigners like fools.

Of course, before that, you have to have strength to prevent others from using force easily. In the final analysis, strength is the foundation. The reason for talking nonsense is that the cost of war is too high, and the Central Plains dynasty is unwilling to start a war easily, so the best strategy is to attack the enemy's strategy and make friends with those far away and attack those near.

Although the Turks now pay tribute to the Sui Dynasty, the relationship between the two sides is not stable. Generally speaking, they seek coexistence in confrontation. The Turks always harass and plunder in small groups. Once the Sui Dynasty launches an army to punish them, it is the people below who did it. Our national conditions are special, and the Celestial Empire should understand more.

So under such circumstances, it was justified for Yang Guang to send Wang Yan to attack the grassland.

He did not provoke border conflicts, but instead attacked the self-proclaimed kings who refused to obey the teachings and disrespected the Sui Dynasty. If you open the local county annals, you will find that they are all legitimate reasons for sending troops.

As for who Wang Yan killed after he went there, that is another matter.

After all, Wang Yan and his companions didn't know the way, nor did they speak the Turkic language, so it was inevitable that they killed the wrong person, and it was understandable...

In order to survive in the wild on the grassland, Wang Yan was well prepared.

Various condiments for food and drink, as well as tea, sugar and other more precious supplies. I didn't bring much dry food, after all, how could I be without food and drink on the grassland? Beef, mutton, horse meat, and even wolf meat if I was lucky. In short, I ate meat every day.

Tea leaves are used to relieve greasiness, and sugar is used to replenish the body's sugar content. Both are necessary for long-term activities. There are also various medicinal materials for cooking, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. These things are the most common and solve the problem of eating well.

In addition, there are some first aid herbs, ointments for treating injuries, etc. This is the maximum medical condition that Wang Yan can provide. Try to ensure the manpower.

The rest were nothing more than clean clothes for changing, needle and thread for mending, weapons and equipment, some water-collecting things, camping tents, raincoats, tinder and flint for starting fires, utensils for boiling water and cooking, and so on.

In addition, Wang Yan also prepared a lot of mosquito repellent sachets. It is midsummer now, and it is not very comfortable to move on the grassland.

At the same time, before the departure, Wang Yan also trained the flag language, explained the tactics, and conveyed the essence of guerrilla warfare. They are destroying, not fighting hard.

In war, Wang Yan's favorite thing is actually guerrilla warfare. Using a small number of troops to disturb the enemy's sleep and food, it costs a lot, but also suffers huge losses. It's interesting to think about the enemy's frustrated and helpless look.

Of course, he didn't like it all the time. He only did guerrilla warfare occasionally for a while to stretch his muscles and find the feeling of galloping on the battlefield, treating hundreds of thousands of troops as nothing, and coming and going freely. After this long-lost fresh feeling, he liked to farm and develop again, and then ride on the face and crush with a grand momentum and a kingly posture. That relaxed feeling of temple calculation is also very good...

"Commander-in-chief, this place is endless, where should we go?"

After entering the Gobi Desert, the group formed a long team, divided into front, back, left and right, all within sight, about two or three miles apart.

The team rode slowly forward, and everyone was confused, not knowing where to kill people.

After all, they came out to burn and loot, but they couldn't see anyone, so where could they go to kill them?
Especially at this time, the sun was high in the sky, the heat waves were rising, and the distorted air could be seen in the distance. Everyone was sweating profusely, but they didn't dare to drink a lot of water. Because they didn't bring much water, it was only enough to quench their thirst, not enough to drink, not to mention that they had to take care of the horses...

There is nothing special about the governor Wang Yan. He sets an example by himself.

A governor is a general who commands 100 men. Since the Han Dynasty, the power of the governor has been declining. In the past, the governor could manage the military and political affairs of a region, and the grand governor was even more powerful, doing the duties of a marching commander. Now the grand governor only commands more than a thousand soldiers, and the governor has become a poor general.

He was riding on a horse, his body swaying with the horse's pace, with a hat on his head to block the sun. Although it was very hot, he looked contented.

"Don't be impatient. You have to be good at observation. The grassland is too big. When we look for people, we have to observe all the traces. Only by following these traces can we find the place where the Turks live."

"Just like hunting?"

"That's right." Wang Yan looked teachable. "Now we are the hunters, looking for our prey and taking their lives."

He pointed to the traces on the ground and said, "Look at the ground. There are some sheep footprints and sheep dung. Generally, sheep are grazed within ten miles. If we follow this path, we can not only find the Turks, kill cattle and sheep for a full meal, but also find water.

This is what you need to learn. Don't think that it doesn't matter since you're going to die anyway. You can use what you've learned. Those who survive this time can at least be a platoon leader. If you can survive the next time, you can at least be a team leader. We rely on King Jin, and ask for his help. Brothers will all be governors in the future, marry three wives, have eight children, and buy dozens of acres of land at home. Isn't this a good life?
Brothers, if you can live, don't die. We are here to fight for fame and fortune, not to die. Only those who survive can live a good life. Although I am not dead, I will definitely take care of your family, but it is not as good as you going home to enjoy your life, right? Cheer up, don't look like you are going to die."

"Come on, Wang Da, stop shrinking your neck and tell me, which direction is north now?"

Wang Yan was bored and started testing the knowledge of his soldiers. Distinguishing directions and analyzing traces were the most basic requirements. Only by doing these could they avoid getting lost and find people and water.

As they chatted casually, after climbing over a slope again, a yurt appeared in front of everyone, and the barking of the dogs could be heard clearly.

"What are you standing there for? Go ahead, they might run away soon. Leave them alive, we still have to find others."

So a group of people rushed down on their horses, howling, leaving long trails of dust, and spread out to surround that place.

Wang Yan rode his horse at a trot and walked leisurely down.

When he arrived at the place, the two men, four women and two children had all been controlled.

Yang Guang was very thoughtful in arranging the personnel. There were soldiers here who could speak Turkic. Following Wang Yan's instructions, they interrogated these herdsmen and obtained information about the surrounding water sources and the locations of other people nearby.

Wang Yan was very polite to them and did not beat, scold or humiliate them. He even gave a beating to one of his soldiers who wanted to have some fun with the four women.

He said: "We can't just keep burning, killing and looting. We also need to absorb the Turks for our use. Do you think they live a good life? No. They raise cattle, sheep and horses, but they don't have much meat to eat. Zhao Laoer, ask them how their daily life is."

So with Zhao Laoer's translation, everyone understood the situation of this family.

Only a small portion of the cattle and sheep they raise belong to them. Most of them are taxes that must be paid to the head of their tribe and exchanged for other daily necessities, etc. In winter, they will suffer a large number of losses.

As for the war, the headman would send someone to summon them, and they had no right to refuse. If they refused to go, they would be killed, or forced to do heavy work until they died of exhaustion. Their women, cattle, sheep, and children would also be taken away.

On the grassland, the greatest wealth is cattle, sheep, horses and women. One is the means of production and living, and the other is necessary for the reproduction of the tribe. Men are of course important, but not essential.

Wang Yan wanted his people to understand the people on the grassland, find a commonality, and unify the classes.

After all, the Han people were not much better off than the people on the grassland. They also had to pay heavy taxes for farming, faced all kinds of risks, and were exploited and oppressed by local big families.

But at the same time, it did not stop the Han people from looking down on the people on the grasslands, because they were all barbarians. In this regard, the Han people were still very confident.

Wang Yan sent people to capture the two men who were grazing outside and drove the cattle and sheep back. He also sent people to the nearby water source to fetch water for the horses to drink and for cooking.

It was really fun to kill cattle and sheep, and everyone was very happy to eat. Wang Yan was the one who cooked the food himself, and the taste was very good.

The family on the grassland felt very distressed, but that didn't stop them from eating happily while feeling distressed and nervous. They had never enjoyed a meal so much before.

Moreover, Wang Yan said that what they ate belonged to the tribe leader, not their sheep, so they asked them to lead the way, kill the leader, and distribute the sheep and cattle to everyone. Everyone sent warriors to go out with them to fight.

Wang Yan thought so, but whether to implement it or not would depend on whether these grassland people understood education.

If they understand, Wang Yan will support them to become a new force on the grassland, thereby making the grassland more chaotic, and move them to the vicinity of Yanmen Pass to promote trade. If they don't understand, then no grass will grow, and they will be killed until someone understands.

Generally speaking, they are all afraid of power and not virtue, and they always want to scare the people of the grassland into killing.

Kill first, then cure.

This is a simple and straightforward method. After all, if someone doesn’t behave himself when you kill him, there’s no point in not killing him.

This is also the reason for many massacres. If the Central Plains dynasty is strong, it will kill others; if it is weak, it will be killed.

Fortunately, this family was very convinced by Wang Yan's words and cooperated very well. After eating and resting, they kept one child, and the remaining three men armed themselves and became guides, following Wang Yan and others to fight...

I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
