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

Chapter 716 Seven hundred five: Promise to do revenge

Yelu Hengtong ran over, said a few words to his brother Yelu Chucai, and then hurried back.

"Brother Wuji, just now, my brother and I have already discussed, isn't there more than 20 of us?

After a while, my brothers and I will take fifteen people to help you send the horses to the horses. It is enough to keep a few people here.

If they feel that there is not enough manpower, they can go to our residential area to find someone at any time!

Well, there is cooked meat in that tent, let everyone take a two-pound cooked meat to eat, let's go right away! "

Okay!This Yelu Hengtong is still impatient.

Duan Wuji shouted loudly to the guards he brought: "Brothers, before the weather is too late, let's rush the horses away.

There is cooked meat in the tent, each of us should bring some, no one is allowed to bring too much! "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji walked towards the white horse he had subdued just now!
That white horse still has lingering fears about its new owner!

Seeing Duan Wuji approaching, he was so frightened that he kept backing away!

Duan Wuji untied the rein and got on the horse, and at the same time Tieniu also rode the horse he subdued just now.

The guards took the horse pole and turned on the horse, and the horses ran out from the fence.

Yelu Hengtong and Yelu Chucai also rushed over with [-] Turkic men on horseback holding poles.

These more than 100 people drove the horses straight to the Datang Kingdom in the southwest direction and rushed over.

Since Duan Wuji and Tie Niu were riding the first horse, the rest of the horses naturally followed behind.

At the beginning, the forward speed was not very fast. After a long time, the horses gradually adapted to it.

The time was not too long, and the whistling northwest wind blew up again.

The snow on the ground was blown up by the wind again, and because of the flying snow all over the sky, the speed of the horses' progress was actually accelerated.

An hour or so later, the sky was completely dark, and the north was blowing, and people were rushing southward with the herd of horses.

The speed of the horses moving south was not very fast, and they only traveled fifty or sixty miles every hour.

After dawn, Duan Wuji and the others rode their horses and were only a dozen miles away from the pass of the Great Wall.

Duan Wuji let out a long breath!

Duan Wuji said loudly: "Guys, work harder, we have one more meal, we will go back to the country, let's go to the inn for dinner!"

Duan Wuji urged his horse to come in front of Yelu Hengtong and whispered: "Brother Yelu, I'm going a few miles forward, let my third brother lead you all back!
Don't go back, just follow us through the border!

We rushed to the location of the ambush, after all we still need you to lead the team! "

Yelu Hengtong nodded after listening.

"Well! I see, then I will immediately notify my third brother and them to go!
Let them go back, and save people from being distracted! "

After finishing speaking, Yelu Hengtong urged the horse to inform Yelu to save money.

After a while, Yelu Chucai led the fifteen Turks and turned back.

In a short time, Duan Wuji and the others drove the horses to the pass of the Great Wall. The tens of thousands of horses came, can the soldiers guarding the pass not see it?
As soon as the horses reached the pass of the Great Wall, the soldiers removed the roadblock.

Duan Wuji led the tens of thousands of horses straight to the biggest inn.

When the shopkeeper saw Duan Wuji and the others came back, he hurriedly brought a few staff to serve him!

The herd of horses drove into the large courtyard, almost filling up the entire courtyard.

The owner of the inn looked at Duan Wuji and the others and said with a smile: "Officer, you are really capable!

With so many horses brought back at once, my Ruoda inn has really turned into a horse farm now. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Boss, the horse farm is the horse farm!
Boss, I think you want to get rich!

In a while, you can send a guy to buy us fodder first!With so many horses, how can we not feed them! "

"Well! I know, guest officer, how much fodder do you need!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Is that much less!

We have to stay with you for a few days, so you can tell us about the fodder!

Just feed us horses!This horse should be fed and drunk, don't worry, as long as you fix it for me, I won't treat you badly! "

"I know, I know, you are the ones who do big business, how can you care about my small money!
Don't worry, I will definitely send you to your satisfaction!

Why!Guest officer, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?What are you going to have for breakfast this morning? "

"What to eat, why do you still need to ask! Fried meat with flatbread! You can eat whatever you like with flatbread, and fried meat is enough. Don't ask us about these trivial matters, just arrange it as you like!
Hey, shopkeeper, you can arrange a room for my elder brother first, and let him sleep for a while!

He hasn't rested for several days. "

The shopkeeper smiled, and then waved at Yelu Hengtong.

"Guest officer, then follow me!"

After Yelu Hengtong handed over his horse to the shop assistant, he went to bed with the shopkeeper.

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Brother, if you call this kid Yelu Hengtong over, are you really planning to avenge him?"

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"That's needless to say! If I don't really avenge him, why should I ask him to come here!

Let me tell you that I am the most loyal person.

I, Duan Wuji, must believe what I say and act with resoluteness.

How can it not be counted if what has been said!

If talking doesn't count, who will deal with me in the future! "

"Yo! Yo! It sounds like the truth, but who will believe you!

Maybe what the hell is going on in your mind! "

Duan Wuji looked at Chai Shao and said with a smile: "Brother Chai, we two brothers are going to avenge Na Yeluheng, why don't you go to this matter!

If we want to go, the three of us may each pay 6000 taels of silver!

Let me explain this matter to you in advance, so that you won't blame me when the time comes!

We take this matter voluntarily, if you want to go, go, if you don't participate, you can take care of our horses in this shop!
We will definitely be back in five or six days! "

Chai Shao blinked his eyes.

"Brother, look at what you said, there are three of us, and both of you are going, how can I hide behind and retreat!
It's too embarrassing to do that!
oh!You two go, I'm hiding in this store, if this gets out, then how can I, Chai Shao, hang around in that crowd!

Isn't it just that everyone earns a few thousand taels less!
Brother, I did it today, you two are not afraid, so what am I afraid of! "

These three brothers are talking gossip!

That Duan Changhong rushed over with two hundred officers and soldiers, Duan Changhong came to Duan Wuji's side and said with a smile: "Brothers, you came back really fast! Now you three have made a fortune again!

Although the three of you can't get the court's salary, if you go on this business trip, no matter how little you say, you will have to pay the court's salary for a few years!
If I had known this, I might as well follow you to sell horses. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "The three of us don't have salaries, how can we do if we don't want to earn a little money!

Let me tell you, now this horse, our second brother has already reduced it to 55 taels of silver a horse, what do you think the three of us earn!

Isn't there no way to survive!There is really no other way, did the three of us brothers run out again!
Brother Changhong, you are on the right path!

With the salary of the court, how wonderful it would be to have no worries about food and clothing! "

Duan Changhong laughed and said: "It is worry-free to have no worries about food and clothing, but it doesn't make much money!

That looks like you three brothers!During this change of hands, this large amount of money was in hand again.

I can only watch from the side and worry!

Brothers, when are you leaving?At that time, I will escort you with soldiers! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "We still have some things to do, we may have to stay here for a few days.

I'm afraid we won't be able to leave within three to five days. "

"Ah? Stay for a few days? How much money will be consumed in that day!

Brother, haven't you settled this account? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Spend some money and spend some money!

However, this is also impossible! "

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, quietly gather our guards here, just say that I have something to say to them."

Tieniu turned around and left. After a short time, all the personnel gathered around Duan Wuji.

Duan Wuji glanced at these people and said: "Everyone has worked hard selling horses with me, everyone knows that if we work hard for a few more days, we will be able to get the money out.

However, today I got a new deal, which is to go to the east-west corner to kill a group of people, a group of Turkic people. This job will only take six or seven days!

This job is very dangerous, you think!If you kill someone, will they be so willing to let you kill them!
To be honest, this job is much more dangerous than our horse selling!

This time, we went voluntarily!If you feel that your health is not good, or you don't want to go, then you can stay and take care of our horses in our inn.

If anyone wants to go, please register later.

If you do such a dangerous thing, the money will naturally be yours.

If anyone goes, everyone can get 100 taels of silver, and if they don't go, they will be defeated! "

As soon as Duan Wuji finished speaking, these people began to discuss in low voices one after another.

One of the guards boldly asked, "I'm telling you, Mr. Duan, if we go there, will we die in battle?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "There is a chance of dying in battle, but if everyone obeys the order, I don't think the chance of dying in battle is too high.

You want to!Who wants to die!If it doesn't work, we won't retreat!
Let's see and do things about this matter, it's not certain what it will look like! "

The people glanced at each other, and one of the guards shouted loudly: "Mr. Duan, count me in, I am willing to follow you!

If you can come back, then I can come back too!

I joined the army since I was a child, and I have parents, wives and children, and I will follow you to earn this 100 taels of silver!
After all, there are really not many opportunities to earn so much money back in these few days! "

"Duantouer, I'll go with you too."

Most of these guards are retired soldiers!

Everyone doing this guard work, who doesn't practice martial arts at home!

The time is not too long, and there are as many as 94 people who signed up!

The remaining ten or so people were unwilling to go, and Duan Wuji didn't force them!

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Okay! Then you all go to eat, and take a rest after eating!

When to leave, I will call you when! "

Duan Wuji looked at Duan Changhong.

"Brother Changhong, my number of personnel is still relatively small, so you can recruit me dozens of people from your army!

To recruit these personnel, first of all, they must go voluntarily. The criteria for recruiting this personnel are firstly, superb riding skills, secondly, high martial arts skills, and thirdly, they must be able to smash horses with horse poles!

As for anything else!Like my guards, each of them is worth a hundred silver!

We can't come up with a different price for this matter! "

"Brother, just tell me. How many people are you going to recruit? I'll do it for you now."

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Ten to seventy or eighty people! It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less!

Brother Changhong, I will leave this matter to you, you have to strictly control me!

Those who are not good at martial arts, no matter what, you can't choose them for me! "

"Brother, don't worry about this matter, the personnel I picked for you are not a piece of trash.

Brother, just wait here, I'll do it for you in a while. "

Duan Changhong said to the [-] soldiers beside him: "Just stay here and help guard the horses! I'll go there for a while and I'll be back. If something happens to the horses here, don't you guys care?" You have to be responsible!"

"Mr. Duan, just let him go! What can happen here!

There are so many of us, are we the ones who eat idle food! "

Duan Changhong urged the horse to go back.

The owner of the inn ran over.

"Several guest officers, hurry up and eat, you see that those people you brought have gone to bed after eating.

You have been here long enough. "

Duan Wuji said to Tie Niu and Chai Shao: "You two brothers, let's go, let's go to eat, and let's rest for a while after we eat.

Why!Shopkeeper, don't just feed us hay for our mounts!

All mounts are [-] catties of feed beans, we will use them later!

Those horses without bridles need some hay.

Why!Shopkeeper, prepare three days of dry food for us immediately!In addition, prepare five or six hundred catties of cooked meat for us. You cut it up and put it away. We will take it away later. "

"Well! Got it, I'll do it right away."

The three of them went into the store for dinner, and the boy led them to rest.

Not long after noon, Duan Changhong led dozens of cavalry over.

Duan Changhong ran to Duan Wuji's room and called Duan Wuji and the others.

"Brother, I brought you the personnel I selected. There are 70 people in total! Don't worry! These personnel are all elite personnel in my army!

That is everyone can fight, everyone is brave!

If you take these people out, it will definitely embarrass you! "

Duan Wuji stepped out to take a look, and saw that all these personnel were very energetic, and each of them had bright helmets and armor!
Duan Wuji laughed and said: "All of you take off your military uniforms! Those who have Turkic clothes should change into Turkic clothes, and those who don't have Turkic clothes, please change into civilian clothes!"
After you have changed your clothes, let's go in a while!
Each of you has brought enough arrows, we will use them when the time comes! "

Duan Changhong laughed and said: "Brother, don't tell me this, they are not stupid, don't they even know this!"

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Changhong, I will leave these horses to you, you have to watch them for me!"

"Brother, don't worry. I have thousands of people here!

I came here to guard these horses. This is the future military horse of our Tang Dynasty!

Do you think I dare to relax! "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Yeah! Just know! Brother Tieniu, wake up all of us, let's leave immediately after dinner!"
