Tang Taizong is my elder brother

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the situation in the north was chaotic, and there were often large families armed with the strength of the northern border to fight against the tribes of the Eastern Turks. These people were called northern barbarians in China, and Han thieves in the Turks. Later, the Sui Dynasty After the reunification, the Turkic people didn't dare to call it that, so they changed it to the Southern Army.In China, the armed forces of these big families and aristocratic clans are the target of being reduced and oppressed by the government, but in Turkic, they can bully and bully the loose small tribes there.

When the Sui Dynasty was first established, the Turks were very polite to these private armed forces, because they were indeed much stronger than the armed forces of some small tribes. It was not until the East Turkic Qimin Khan came to the throne that they gradually improved, because the Qimin Khan vigorously developed the people's livelihood and communicated with the trade between the two sides, so many small tribes gathered to him, seeking his protection and trade communication, and these big families also gained benefits from the trade.

As for those Shanxi merchants and other large caravans, there are shadows of the strength of the northern family in the Sui Dynasty, so they are generally called merchants.For example, if the Shanxi merchants really angered them, it would not be impossible to mobilize tens of thousands of people casually, and they still wear the hat of the people of the Sui Dynasty, so Qimin Khan knew that they could not be eliminated, so for them Whether the small frictions at the border are happening or not, we just turn a blind eye and close one eye.

And these Turkic people heard that they were attacked by some Han people before, but if they can't be called Shang, it means that their strength is mediocre.

Some Turkic armored and auxiliary soldiers also heard that a few hundred Han peasants actually occupied a small town of the Sungu tribe, and even established a stronghold to openly blackmail the leader of the Sungu tribe, Ali.This made them even more overjoyed, because this time the Bone Department mobilized all the men who could fight, plus the soldiers borrowed from several tribes close to him, the total strength reached 500 people, including armored men. There are nearly 500 soldiers in battle. Isn't it easy to deal with hundreds of Han people?
However, when they arrived near the stronghold occupied by the Han people, Ah Yelu realized that something was wrong. The rows of soldiers in shining armor on the other side were farmers or bandits. Be neat and majestic.

After getting closer, more people saw the problem. The iron armor of these bandits, the Turkic Tartars, including Ah Yelu, looked stupid, and even their officers forgot to issue the order The password, just staring blankly at the torrent of steel on the opposite side.After all, Yelu was born in a family that had dealt with the south, so he didn't want to be as knowledgeable as many of his country bumpkin compatriots.

Although he has never seen what the frontier army of the Sui Dynasty looked like, but from the obviously expensive weapons and equipment in front of him, he can see that these things are fundamentally valuable weapons of the country, so the answer is ready to come out.

Ah Yelu hurriedly found his boss, and explained to him that even if all the weapons and equipment of the merchant's team were added up, they might not be able to make up such a large amount of armor. After he told the other party this conclusion, this little boss Sure enough, he was shocked and immediately reported to the big boss.

At this time, the big leader was like the soldiers below who were stunned speechless by the opponent's formation. After listening to Ah Yelu's report, he immediately jumped three feet high, as if he had been severely deceived by the innocent little brother. In the same way, he scolded the person who provided the intelligence information, and then sent a cavalry over to try to communicate with the troops here.

The cavalryman rode his horse to a distance of 30 meters in front of these bandits, and shouted in Turkic: "I am the great Bugubu...ah~" As soon as he spoke, he was shot dead by the musketeers, both men and horses. Hornet's nest.

Xiao Feng had inquired with Xu Liang before coming here. It is said that the people here often have conflicts with the private armed forces of the aristocratic families in the inland area, so they have a tough temperament. Therefore, when the other party said something, Xiao Feng generally thought that the other party was here to provoke, and he acted decisively. Bibi's tactic is to act first and act first, which kicked off the prelude to the war.

The shells fired by the three-pound gun and the six-pound gun roared and flew towards the opponent's line. After the last battle and recent training, the artillery level of the Longevity Battalion has been significantly improved.Because the opponent's formation is loose and the archers are not ready to fight back.

Therefore, the artillerymen of the Changsheng Battalion pushed the cannons as far as possible, which greatly shortened the shooting distance.

The jumping cannonballs flying into the opponent's camp formed a long line of blood. The flaming iron ball was no joke, it would kill if it touched it, and hurt if it was scratched.

In order to increase the firepower, Changsheng in the artillery team equipped a battery with [-] men in the field. This made the firing speed of the artillery team with proficiency even exceed that of the musketeers. Now the shooting speed of the three-pound gun has reached Four rounds per minute, and there seems to be room for improvement.

Gu Aguna said that the people here had never seen a cannon, so after the first shot, Xiao Feng couldn't help admiring: "It's really brave, I have never seen a cannon, but they carried the first round of shelling. And it has survived the first round of shelling with no signs of breaking down."

This undoubtedly amazed Xiao Feng, who had seen the big battle.After all, there are a lot of recruits under him, so it's better to start off with a smooth start.So Xiao Feng hoped to scare the opponent first with shelling.

But now the opponent's situation doesn't seem to be developing according to his own ideas.Therefore, in order not to let the other party recover, Xiao Feng immediately gave the order that the infantry phalanx began to attack. The information provided by Aguna seems not very accurate. I hope his second message will not be wrong.

Hearing that most of the opponents were not professional soldiers, Xiao Feng hoped that the opponents would disperse when facing the spear formation of the Longevity Camp, and then let the recruits go after those diehards who dared to fight to the death.

After the first wave of charge was launched, something that shocked him even more happened. The opponent's line collapsed collectively, and everyone was running in all directions.

Those armored warriors ran even faster than the auxiliary soldiers who had never fought. Xiao Feng couldn't help being suspicious because the army with a well-organized lineup and seemed to have shown good fighting qualities just now had such an extremely abnormal performance.

He highly suspected that the other party was setting up a trap. In order to prevent the enemy from cheating, he specially captured two prisoners for interrogation.After asking, Xiao Feng realized that he had turned over the error of dogmatism.

The army of the Bone Department was able to stand firm in the face of the artillery attack at the beginning, not because of some bravery, but because everyone had never seen this monster that could make a huge roar, and they were stunned by the power of this guy. Stopped, that is, too frightened.

And when the Changsheng army started to launch a normal infantry charge, the opponent finally recovered, and naturally collapsed at the fastest speed.

On the night of the battle, when the leader of the Bone Department found that Yelu was very smart and could speak a little Chinese, he quickly promoted him to be a centurion, and then ordered him to negotiate with the "bandits" on the opposite side. The big boss behind the inferior products is the Prince Shaobao of the Sui Dynasty. The famous Northwest General and the commander of the Changsheng Army, Hou Ji's pants almost got wet.

And when Yelu arrived at the tent of the Northern Expeditionary Army, he was already speechless in surprise. Although they always knew that the Sui Dynasty was a behemoth in the south, they also reminded themselves that the opponent's strength was far beyond what they could imagine, but After seeing so many armors equipped in an immortal army, his belief was completely overturned: this battle cannot be fought.

As for why the subordinates of Prince Shaobao of the Sui Dynasty appeared here?This is not difficult to understand, his Longevity Battalion had just won the victory against the Western Turks before, and this time it happened to be here.When Ah Yelu saw the armored warrior in the barracks who couldn't see the end, he became more firm in his inner thoughts. He must never fight the opponent, and he should agree to whatever conditions the opponent asks.

Although he has been promoted to be a centurion that many people envy, but this thing who didn't know how to sacrifice his life for the great Bonggu tribe crawled on the ground the moment he saw Changsheng. .He pushed the responsibility all over the heads of other people in the servant bone department, and agreed to all the requests made by Changsheng without authorization.

However, Changsheng does not have any excessive requirements. The relationship between the small tribe and Qimin's big tribe is far from being as close as it seems, and it is more of a kind of interest cooperation. After all, the big tribe has to stand up and save the little brother from danger.

In any case, an East Turkic government that can mobilize tens of thousands of troops at a time, including more than [-] armored knights, should not be underestimated, at least Changsheng's current strength cannot deal with it.

Ah Yelu also found out that Changsheng didn't criticize him, and his attitude was relatively gentle, so he wisely explained one or two for Changsheng, and then dumped the blame on Qimin Khan who issued the sales restriction order. Changsheng also reached a consensus.

Changsheng can continue to sell and sell his iron products in the north, but all iron products must be sold to Bugubu, and then Bugubu will use his own sales channels to sell to other tribes

After reaching this consensus, Yelu's heart immediately blossomed with joy. It seems that at least he can go back alive, and not only can he go back alive, if the leader of the Bone Department can understand the huge opportunity inside, maybe he will reward himself heavily Woolen cloth.

Once he establishes a relationship with someone as powerful as Da Sui, the future is boundless. The leader of the Bone Department should be satisfied this time.

Another condition that Changsheng put forward was to promote their religion. He asked the Pugu Ministry to allow the church members of the Patriotic Loyalty Sect to enter the territory of the Pugu Ministry. Due to the resentment among the Turkic tribes, this foreign church must change its name, for example: "Love Turkic Loyal Servant Bone Sect".

Ah Yelu knew that most of his people believed in shamanism and had their own gods and beliefs, but he didn't realize that the requirement of longevity was too much, and it wasn't a clause that would cause any harm to the person or loss of money, but just a clause. It's just an additional clause for people with beliefs, at least in his opinion, it's not a big problem. In order for Changsheng to show his sincerity, he is even willing to be the first Turkic to join this religion.

But Changsheng regretfully told the other party that there was already a person named Aguna who was already his church member, Ah Yelu obviously felt a little regretful.

Changsheng’s abacus loyalty, he needs a point of entry to open the door of Turkic. Commodity trading is a good opportunity, and religion is a thing that can generate a deep identity. Use religious identity to infiltrate and corrode a loose The tribal united longevity thinks that it is more secretive and effective than armed struggle.It just might take a while.

In June of the sixth year of Daye, Ah Yelu's carriage was injured and there were two more patriotic and loyal missionaries. When they stopped to rest on the road, the two of them prayed devoutly and focusedly.

A Turkic child who looked to be only six or seven years old imitated them, put his hands together, knelt beside them and prayed in Turkic in a childlike voice.

"This kid is interesting." A missionary from the Longevity Camp looked at the kid's innocent expression, couldn't help but took out a piece of mustard biscuit and stuffed it for him, and asked Ah Yelu beside him while stroking the kid's head: "What's the child's name?"

Ah Yelu also took out the dry food he brought and took a bite, looked at the child twice, and said with a sneer: "A child as old as an ordinary family has no name."

The child was holding the pancakes and started eating desperately, Ah Yelu squatted in front of him and asked, "Little boy, what's your name?"

"I have a name." The child opened his eyes wide, and replied crisply that he was.

"Oh, so you have a name, then you are amazing, amazing kid, what's your name?" Ah Yelu asked with a smile.

The child ignored the teasing elements in his tone, and said proudly in a milky tone: "My name is Chebi Achuna."

……

Before the [-]th day of June, the soldiers of the northern sightseeing group all came back. The task Changsheng assigned to Xiao Feng before was to demonstrate his military strength, and he would come back quickly after the demonstration. Changsheng’s current family background is weak, and he relied on Tai Sui to do so. Unscrupulously showing off their power, if the opponent is determined to fight with him to the end, then Changsheng will actually be difficult to deal with, so he can only bite the bullet and teach them a lesson.

Fortunately, the other party is also a paper tiger, after being frightened, it seems to be working well so far.

Changsheng recently received a letter from Yu Wenshu, and there is no lack of explanation in his heart, but Changsheng can see that Yu Wenshu puts his hopes on her.

Although Changsheng didn't know why the other party refused to say it clearly, but as a veteran, Yu Wenshu must have his reasons for doing so.
