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

Chapter 925 910 Four: Duan Wuji Iron Bull Goes Home
Before long, the fragrant tea was served, and the four of them sat around the table.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "This time we have won a complete victory, and a danger that endangered our Tang Dynasty has been lifted.

From now on, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Now that the danger is out of the way, I can henceforth be at ease.

With so many horses we have obtained, it is no problem to arm an army of hundreds of thousands.

From now on, if any of those small countries around us dare to grin their teeth at us, then we will send troops to destroy them.

You guys have made a lot of contributions, and you will enjoy peace from now on.

I don't forget the well digger when I drink water, don't worry, I will definitely not treat you guys badly. "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "We have wiped out the Northern Turks, and there is nothing wrong now.

Your Majesty, why don't you just give me a few months off, I want to go back to my hometown to spend time with my parents.

Enjoy the happiness of a family!I have been out for such a long time, and I have long missed my parents. "

Li Shimin laughed out loud.

"I said dear brother, you go home to visit your parents, I have to ask you for this leave.

After all, life is only a few short decades.

If a person is not filial, how can he live?

Once there is anything in the court, I will find you again! "

Tieniu heard this and quickly said: "Second brother, you know, we two brothers are a life and death couple.

You have already given my brother's leave, why don't you just let us go home together.

Our two brothers also have a companion at home, so it is more convenient for us.

As the eldest son of my family, I have to take care of many things myself. I have been traveling outside for many years, and I have not spent time with my parents at home.

I have not dealt with many things at home.

Once there is something to do, it is not too late for us to make efforts. "

Li Shimin laughed out loud.

"Wuji asks for leave, I'm ready, but you ask for leave, how can I not allow it?

If you follow me back to the capital, there is nothing to do for the time being. You guys are just fooling around in the court, so why don't you just go home and live for a while!
Anyway, the two of you still have a home in the capital, so if I give you a three-year vacation, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in your hometown.

From now on, you might as well run at both ends!
After a while, you can set up a yamen in Taiyuan Prefecture.

At that time, this Taiyuan Mansion will be your home. "

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"If that's the case, that would be great.

From now on, I can live a stable life.

In the future, I don't expect to make much money, and I don't ask for much wealth. As long as my children and grandchildren can live happily in the future, then I, Tie Niu, will be satisfied.

I have struggled for so many years, I just want to have a stable home, I don't want to be rich, I just want to be old and not hungry. "

Li Shimin laughed out loud.

"Brother Tieniu, your request is a little too low. With your current financial resources, if you don't become an official, you may be a rich man.

As long as the children and grandchildren don't mess around in the future, what's the problem with eating and clothing?

Two virtuous brothers, since I have granted you leave, when do you think you will return to your hometown? "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "After returning to the camp, we will hand back all the arrows and arrows you gave us, and then we two brothers will leave immediately.

Anyway, after this war, our soldiers did not suffer much damage.

The record of merit in my army is all with Mr. Wei Zhengwei, so I don't care about these things.

Your Majesty, you can figure it out when you come down! "

Li Shimin laughed when he heard this.

"These brothers have won the battle, no matter what I say, I have to give them a month or two of leave.

Also let them go home to visit their families, which can be regarded as some welfare for them!

I said brother, I heard that these brothers who fought with you have made a fortune.

They have a few small coins in their hands, I think it's better to let them take them home!
If you let them keep it in their hands, then if they gamble all day long and lose their money, it will be bad.

After they go home, our country can still save a lot of military rations. Anyway, there is no war now, so let them ride all the horses back.

After these horses are brought home, they can also help the family plow the land and plant the fields. We will have a good harvest next year! "

Wei Zheng clapped his hands repeatedly after hearing this.

"Good! Good! Your Majesty's idea is correct. With your benevolent actions, the common people will definitely applaud you.

Isn't it almost the autumn harvest now!This method is good!

These military horses have been brought back, which will benefit hundreds of thousands of families!

This family of soldiers should be taken care of by our imperial court!

Otherwise, who would be interested in being a soldier in the future? Their family has benefited a lot, so people will be happy to be a soldier in the future!

After they return home, they can also reunite with their wives. Maybe how many newborns will be born in our Tang Dynasty next year.

Only when our Datang country has a large population can our country prosper. "

Duan Wuji and Tieniu chatted with them for a while, and then went back to Daying.

After returning to the camp, Duan Wuji immediately started to pack his luggage, packed up the soldier's talisman, command arrow, big seal and other things, and then quickly sent it back to Li Shimin.

After handing over these things, Duan Wuji went back to the camp.

Tieniu was not idle either, he also made the same handover, just waiting for the next morning to go home with Duan Wuji.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji had to eat early, and immediately left his barracks. Duan Wuji had just run out of the camp when he saw Tie Niu riding his own horse.

"Brother, it's getting late now, let's go home quickly.

Fortunately, it’s not far from our hometown here, and if we can’t get home after dark, that’s not much difference. "

Duan Wuji hit the horse vigorously, and immediately ran straight to his hometown with Tieniu.

Now it is almost the autumn harvest season, and the crops in the field are in pieces.

The two of them rode their horses and galloped at a very fast pace, while discussing in low voices the affairs of the court.

Tie Niu Niutou said to Duan Wuji: "I said brother, what do you think this is?

Brother Li Jing made such great military exploits. Not only was he useless, but he was demoted by the emperor to become a civilian. You said how chilling it is for us soldiers who fought.

It is said that peace is originally determined by the general, when will the general enjoy peace?

This emperor is too interesting, this is called unloading the mill and killing the donkey, just thinking about it makes one's heart chill. "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard that, to be honest, I would have expected today's result, otherwise, I would have sent troops to kill those Turkic people.

I know that Li Jing's temperament is like a fire, and he is a very upright person, so I stood still and did not move!

I wanted to let the two of you make a great contribution, but who would have expected that Jing Li and the others would suffer.

Let's go home quickly, let's have a good rest at home, then Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin must be very angry when they were driven home by the emperor's demotion to the people!

The eldest grandson Wuji went to wipe his ass, I don't think he can wipe his ass clean!
Even if the emperor went to invite them personally, I am afraid that the two of them would not be willing to go out of the mountain. After all, it would be a narrow escape if they made such a great contribution.

If the emperor invites the two of them to come out of the mountain, if they don't come out of the mountain, then the emperor will definitely send us two to invite them!

I think the two of us can't stay at home for long, and the emperor will send someone to look for us.

At that time, the two of us should leave home and return to Beijing again. The emperor has a problem, and we have to solve it for him in the end! "

Tieniu was beating the horse and galloping, and said with a smile: "I said brother, what you said is the same, it is true and false!

Why do I hear you say the same thing as the fortune teller, isn't this a bit too preposterous!

Will the emperor go find them in person? "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Tieniu, you don't know something. Our second brother can hold it up and let it go. Once he knows that he is wrong, he will definitely make up for his mistake.

This is the difference between an enlightened monarch and an unenlightened monarch!

However, it's another matter if you have to come back. If you don't believe me, just wait and see.

If you don't invite the two of them back, once there is another war, who would dare to work with him!

The country of our Great Tang Kingdom is now stable, but there are still two major enemies!The West Turkic Kingdom is still there!
I heard that this Western Turkic country is more difficult to provoke than the Northern Turkic country. Once there is another war with that Western Turkic country, wouldn't it be necessary to send troops!

Once the army is used again, if the generals are unwilling to go out, how can you fight this battle!

To be honest, the fate of the two of them may not be very important, but it can affect a large number of people!

You want to!Once there is another war, you say that general dares to fight to the death. Once that happens, how do you think this battle will be fought?

Besides, isn't there a Goguryeo country in the northeast corner?

Our second brother is such a smart person, he will not fail to think of this matter.

well!Why are we brothers talking about these useless things!Let's hurry up!

No matter what today, we both have to go back to our hometown before dark! "

"Okay, then let's compare our footsteps today, let's see our two horses, whose horse runs faster!"

The two brothers got excited, and the two horses ran forward like crazy, chasing each other.

It is more than 300 miles from Datong Mansion to Taiyuan Mansion. Although the road is rugged and winding, it is not very easy to walk, but fortunately, the two of us have walked many times, and we are familiar with the road, and we are also familiar with running. if!
Before the sun was over the mountain, the two of them ran to the fork in Duanjiaji.

The two reined in their horses at the same time, Tieniu said to Duan Wuji: "Brother, you see it's still early in the day, why don't you go to my house and have a drink of tea, and then go home when it gets dark."

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Forget it, forget it, let's talk about it another day.

You and I have been away from home for a long time, I think we should go home separately.

When you get home, say hello to my uncle and aunt. If I have time, I will definitely visit them. "

Tie Niu grinned.

"Brother, since you are in a hurry to go home, I won't stop you, brother.

When I got home, I would also say hello to my uncle and aunt.

Let's take a good rest at home for a few days, and then let's reunite together buddies! "

After finishing speaking, the two brothers broke up, and Duan Wuji rode straight to the Duan family village.

When he reached the gate of his house, Duan Wuji jumped off his horse.

Then he led the horse and ran straight to the house. At this time, it was almost sunset, and the whole village was peaceful.

Duan Wuji led the horse to the yard, the servants at home ran over immediately when they saw it, and immediately led Duan Wuji's horse to the yard where the livestock were kept.

It is not yet the harvest time, and people don't have much work.

Just as Duan Wuji was about to walk into the house with big strides, Duan Shengsong and Duan Shenglin ran over.

"Grandma, grandpa, my second uncle is back, come out and have a look!"

Duan Shenglin rushed over, and immediately hugged Duan Wuji's thigh.

Duan Wuji looked at the two children at home, he really liked them from the bottom of his heart!

Duan Wuji bent down and picked up his son, and also picked up Duan Shengsong who was running over.

The two children haven't seen Duan Wuji for a long time, hugging his neck and kissing him persistently!

Just as Duan Wuji was about to walk into the house with his two children in his arms, Duan Yanqing and Liu Caihua had already rushed out of the house.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Jinhua also ran out of the house holding her youngest son.

Duan Yanqing looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Wuji! I heard that there was a war in the north, and you were the commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses. Is this true?"

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"You can also say that, but the time of this war seems to be a bit too long!

It has been fought since spring until now, and the battle has just ended.

Since the battlefield was relatively close to our hometown, I went home by the way.

Father and mother, are you all in good health? "

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Both of us are in good health, but we miss you all day long, so it's not easy for the two of us.

Seeing that you have returned safely, we are completely relieved.

Duan Wuji!Are your brothers all right? "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"They are all fine, this time they have made military exploits, and now they are all safe and sound, I don't think it will be long before my elder brother Changqing and the three of them will go back to their residence.

Since then, their family can be reunited together again.

My brother Tieniu came back with me this time, I think the two of them will come to see you in a few days. "

When Duan Yanqing heard that his nephews were fine, he was overjoyed.

"It's good that it's okay, and they have all made military exploits, now our family can gain a firm foothold in the Great Tang Kingdom.

Promise!let's go!Come with me into the house!In the house we have to have a good talk. "

Duan Wuji hugged the two children and followed his parents straight to the main room.
