The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 270 Chapter 250

At dusk that day, just after Duan Wuji and Tieniu finished their training and returned to their own tent in the barracks, Qiu Tianbao walked in with a smile.

"You two virtuous brothers, let's go, follow me into the tent, my father is going to host a banquet for you two today, let's go, follow me."

Duan Wuji smiled at Tieniu after hearing this.

"Brother Tieniu, let's go, let's go over. Don't let the old prince wait for us."

The two brothers followed Qiu Tianbao out of the big tent and went straight to the handsome tent.

After entering the handsome tent, I saw the old prince sitting in the middle, the imperial envoy Zhang was accompanying him, and Jin Zhaoxiong was also sitting beside him.

When the old prince saw that Qiu Tianbao had invited Duan Wuji and the others over, he quickly said with a smile: "Wuji, Tie Niu, sit down quickly, I'm hosting a banquet today, you don't need me to tell you why, right?"

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu laughed.

"Wang Jiaqiantui, I am stupid, I don't know why, I hope Wang Jiaqiantui expresses it."

The old prince rolled his eyelids.

"You two stop pretending to be confused for the old man, it's useless to pretend, come, come, come, sit down quickly.

Tianbao, why don't you hurry up and serve the wine and food? "

After hearing this, Qiu Tianbao waved his hand to the outside, and immediately five or six army chefs came up with wine.

The old prince ordered people to put together several small long tables to form a large table, and several people sat down together.

The old prince looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said: "Wuji, Tieniu, let me tell you, the old man has made a decision, you two will lead our cavalry to set off tomorrow, and try to give us a big victory and come back.

Did you two hear that? "

Duan Wuji said with a smile after hearing this: "The Wang family is a thousand years old, it's a bit too hasty to go out tomorrow."

"Huh? Hasty? What's the point of being hasty? Wouldn't it be over if you leave tomorrow?"

"Chitose Wang, look at what you said, how can it be so simple to go to war? Why do you have to prepare for a day or two? If you don't have sufficient preparations, how can you go to war?"

"Then tell me, what are you going to do? Let me hear it?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Does it need to be said? Each of the two thousand cavalrymen prepared two hemp ropes, and each of them prepared dry food for three days. In addition, get us the clothes of the Turkic man for a while." Three thousand sets, these things are ready, we can set off."

"Hey, Wuji, I can understand the preparation of dry food for three days, and I can understand the preparation of the clothes for the Turks, but what are you preparing so much hemp rope for? I really don't understand this!"

After hearing this, Qiu Tianbao and Jin Zhaoxiong also asked: "Yes, Wuji, just talk about it! What do you need the hemp rope for? We also have a lot of experience with you two."

"What's the use? Wang Jiaqian, think about it, how many enemies have we killed, and what will be the basis for the future?
I said [-] people were killed, and you said one was not killed. Isn't that nonsense by then?How will you speak at this time?Can you not speak from the head of the enemy?
When the time comes to cut off their heads and go back to the area, I am afraid that no one will have anything to say.

What's more, our imperial envoy Mr. Zhang is still watching here.

The Wang family is thousands of years old, what do you think? "

The old prince applauded and laughed.

"Wuji, you are too thoughtful, if you don't mention this matter, I really ignored it.

Well, indeed, if that's the case, it's really unclear and unclear.Bring the head back and let our imperial envoy Mr. Zhang have a look, everything will be fine! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Indeed, that's what I meant. Let's use the hemp rope to lift the heads back, let Mr. Zhang look at them and count them. When the time comes, Mr. Zhang will go back to court for business?"

Envoy Zhang Qin nodded after listening.

"Well, that's the reason. Hey, the Wang family's thousand years old, in my opinion, let's not go tomorrow. It's not too late for us to start when all these conditions are ready. It's not too late.

The Wang family is thousands of years old, what do you think? "

"Well, okay. If this is the case, then I have to postpone it for a day or two.

I'll let you guys know when the hemp rope is ready.

good!Let's stop here today.

Come, come, let's drink and eat.Otherwise, so many good things are wasted. "

Once everyone has finished discussing the matter, what's the point of being polite?
Everyone drank in big bowls and ate meat in big mouthfuls!After drinking and eating, people chatted for a while, and then a few people dispersed.

Duan Wuji went back to the tent and looked at Tieniu and said: "Brother Tieniu, I think the day we are going to go to war is coming soon, let's hurry up and practice."

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Well, to be honest, nothing is more important than increasing one's own cultivation, and I think everything else is just floating clouds.

Brother, what do you think? "

"Who says it's not. Brother Tieniu, I think our official position is almost over, and we've been here for more than a month, right?
The fuck didn't find this way to get rich, so the fuck ran here and became a wolf with a big tail. Life is really like a dream! "

Tie Niu sighed and said: "Who says it's not, but who can do it!

We want to go, but is that possible?I think the old prince will never let us go, brother, what do you think? "

Duan Wuji sighed and said: "Who says it's not! Now I'm also worrying about this matter.

He let us go?Do you think he is stupid?
Otherwise, this matter is quite annoying, alas!Mix it up, mix it up for a day and lose a day!

Let's see when the time comes, I think there must be a way for Xinche to reach the mountain, there is no way we can't pass. "

After speaking, the two continued to practice.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji and Tieniu continued to train the team intensively, and nothing happened for two days.

At dusk on the third day, the old prince personally ran into Duan Wuji and Tieniu's big tent.

The old prince looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said: "You two nephews, everything is ready now. You can start tomorrow, two virtuous nephews, it's time for you to show your face to me. It's okay for you to go out. Pay attention to safety!"

Tie Niu laughed.

"It's okay, isn't it just to kill a few Turkic people? What's the matter?"

The old prince smiled and nodded.

"Well, I'm relieved when you say that.

Well, tomorrow I will personally send you off, I hope you all return safely. "

After speaking, the old prince turned and went out.

The two ate something and then went to bed early.

The next morning, the old prince ordered someone to bring the pile of Turkic clothes over.

The old prince looked at the pile of Turkic clothes and said, "Wuji, I didn't expect that the pile of Turkic clothes you picked up unintentionally would actually be used. This is really unexpected!"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"I didn't think of that at the time!"

Duan Wuji said to the cavalry soldiers present: "Everyone, we won't be training today, everyone quickly pick out these Turkic clothes from here, and after wearing them, put our Han clothes back into the barracks, and wait for them." Let's change into it when we get back."

"Duantou, do we really have to go out to fight today?"

Another soldier laughed and said, "What's the point? Who would change the clothes of these Turkic people if there is no war?"

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Yes, we will set off in a while, everyone will work hard with me for two days."

After people changed the clothes of these Turkic people, the old prince ordered someone to bring those thousands of hemp ropes over.

Duan Wuji pointed to the hemp rope on the ground and said: "Take it, two for each person."

"Duantouer, what do you need this hemp rope for?"

"Take it, and I'll tell you in a moment."

After everyone finished taking those ropes, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu also took two.

Duan Wuji said loudly: "Brothers, listen carefully, we will start to set off in a while, let me tell everyone, this hemp rope is used to tie the enemy's head, whoever kills the person, whoever cuts off the head, comes back In the end, we will record credit according to the number of heads, and then we will receive rewards according to merit.

Is everyone clear? "

"Duantouer, we all understand."

"Well, that's good! Brothers, hurry up and assemble the team, everyone check it out. Count the arrows in your quiver and see if you have twenty arrows? If you don't have any, quickly replenish them, so you don't run out of arrows by then.

Let me tell you, whoever doesn't bring enough weapons will suffer at that time!

Ladies and gentlemen, take our water bladders and get enough dry food for three days, we are ready to go right away. "

After hearing this, everyone acted one after another, and after a while, the team assembled.

When Duan Wuji was about to call the team to set off, he saw that Qiu Tianbao and Jin Zhaoxiong also ran over.

"Brother Wuji, wait a minute, we two brothers will go out with you too, let us follow you to learn the experience of fighting."

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and change into that Turkic man's clothes? We're leaving soon."

"Hey, hey, we're going to change it now, just wait a moment."

In a short time, the two of them changed their clothes.

Duan Wuji shouted to the team: "Brothers, you must obey the command when you go out. If you break the military rules, you will be severely punished."

"Duantou, don't worry, we will absolutely obey orders."

"Okay, everyone come with me."

Duan Wuji led the team to the gate of Dulongguan, only to see the gate suddenly opened, and the team rushed out with a swipe of the ground.

Duan Wuji looked at King Changping and said: "After we go out, you should quickly block this gate, so that this pass will be easier to guard."

"Well, I know this, you can rest assured."

As soon as Duan Wuji urged his horse, he immediately rushed out from the door opening.

Duan Wuji ran to the front of the team and said loudly: "Brothers, follow me, let's kill the enemy."
