Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 205
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, the enemy's grain and grass camp is stationed in a mountain valley ten miles behind its army. It is surrounded by mountains and is in a very hidden position. If you want to reach the grain and grass camp, you must first bypass the enemy's army. We are waiting for the opportunity. It took me a long time to find the opportunity to go over.”

Yang Guang frowned: "In this case, it is basically impossible for the army to kill them."

It is extremely difficult to march in the mountains and forests. The vegetation outside the pass is not dense enough, so it is impossible to hide one's body.

But Yang Guang thought for a while and thought that since he had discovered where the enemy's food and grass were, he couldn't do anything.

Yang Guang immediately ordered: "Yu Dehuai, you are familiar with the surroundings. Is there any way to approach this place without anyone noticing?"

Yu Dehuai looked at the place marked on the map and shook his head: "Your Highness, King Jin, it's difficult, it's too difficult. If you say it's possible for one or two people to go over, it's impossible for the army to go over without being discovered. The Turks' sentinels The eyesight is extremely sharp, maybe better at night, but it’s basically impossible to get close during the day.”

Yang Guang frowned slightly, thinking about countermeasures.

Zhou Wu himself spoke: "Your Highness, Prince Jin, please give me some soldiers and bring those firearms that Your Highness, Prince Jin, brought before. As long as we get close, relying on the power of explosives, we should be able to attack the enemy's food and fodder." Created to kill.”

Maybe they can't destroy the grain and grass camp, but after a successful sneak attack, the enemy will definitely be panicked, so it's not impossible to let a small group of people try it.

But in this case, the people sent out are almost equivalent to death squads, just to die for themselves. It is difficult for Yang Guang to make up his mind about this kind of thing.

After afternoon, when the sky began to darken, Yang Guang did not expect Yang Shuang to return to Yanmen Pass.

"Uncle King Wei showed his majesty today and broke Shabolu's majesty. I felt excited after hearing the news at Yanmen Pass."

"How is the situation at Yanmen Pass?"

"The local government sent troops to investigate, but we beat them away."

"Very good. Our army's morale is now at a high level. The Turks will come again tomorrow and they will be defeated. Please sort out how many firearms you have brought this time and transport them to Shuozhou City. I will teach my subordinates how to use firearms as soon as possible. This thing is still really useful.”

Yang Guang said helplessly: "The firearms shipped for the first time are all at the front. Although there are plans for the future, I don't know how long it will take to arrive."

The production capacity is just this much right now. If you want more, you won’t have it.

Yang Shuang was slightly disappointed, and then he took a look at the military affairs of Yanmen Pass.

When Yang Shuang heard that he had discovered the location of the opponent's grain and grass camp, Yang Shuang immediately said: "Since we have discovered it, we should burn it down."

At this time, Zhou Wu asked for orders again: "Your Highness King Wei, Your Highness King Jin, please let me go. I am most familiar with the surrounding mountain forces."

Qin Qiong also said: "Your Highnesses, I will go too."

King Wei gave a very hearty smile: "They are all good young men from my Sui Dynasty. Okay, let's let you two set off, making up a total of ten people. King Jin will sort out all the existing firearms and take what can be carried. We will set off tomorrow. , Try to make a surprise attack on the opponent's camp tomorrow night, if it doesn't work, don't rush in, wait until the next night before taking action, pay attention to safety."

Yang Shuang's decision was much more straightforward than Yang Guang's. How could he let this opportunity pass?

Yang Guang lacked experience on the spot and came here to learn how to fight this time.

Arranging a surprise attack on the grain and grass battalion, Yang Shuang took Yang Guang and said alone: ​​"Today the Turkic cavalry did not have any success. Shabolu was hit by me. Although it was not seriously injured, it still hurt for several days. Frontal combat is very difficult for them. It’s not good, I think they might use some dirty tricks at night, so be careful at Yanmen Pass.”

"Uncle Wang, the defense of Yanmen Pass will not be relaxed. Yu Dehuai and Zhang Xiangren are still under house arrest here, but both of them are actively cooperating. The Yanmen Pass defenders are not a big problem now."

"Well, you should be more careful yourself. Everything on the battlefield is dangerous, so don't be careless."

"Thank you, Uncle Wei, I understand."

Time gradually fell into the night, and the temperature dropped sharply at night, and at this time, yellow sand began to rise.

Everyone at the border knows that when yellow sand rises, there is no way to go. Even a slight yellow sand can make the guide who is most familiar with the area lose his way.

However, Zhou Wu and Qin Qiong set off with their people. The group of people rode horses and reached the mountains and forests before nightfall. None of them were wearing armor. The cold armor would make the soldiers unable to withstand the cold in the dark night. Everyone wore They are all heavy jackets.

Looking at Shuozhou City in the distance, the border city stands tall in the depths of the vast desert. The beacon fire at the top of the city burns high, lighting up the dark night sky.Loyal guards stood on the city walls, tightly wrapped in military coats to resist the biting cold wind.

The howls of wild beasts could be faintly heard from the depths of the mountain forest, which made people shudder. The yellow sand in the sky covered the insteps like an ocean, and continued to beat against the city wall like a tide. The sky was dark and dark, with no starlight visible. Only the cold wind howled, bringing The gravel hit his face and hurt.This desolate scene is full of chill, as if we have reached the end of the world in ice and snow.As the wind and sand got bigger, Zhou Wu took everyone to a cave to take shelter from the wind. Qin Qiong, who was sitting around the fire, was a little frustrated: "We just got out of Yanmen Pass and we encountered wind and sand. I don't know when the wind and sand will stop. It was delayed." This is such a big deal for Your Highness, it’s really a sin.”

"Brother Qin Qiong, don't panic. The sandstorm this time is not big. This kind of sandstorm will be over in one night at most. It won't be too late for us to wait until tomorrow to take action."

"If we light a fire like this, we won't attract the other party's troops."

"The wind and sand blocked our way, and also blocked the enemy's way. They will not come out to patrol during such a wind and sand. No matter how fierce the soldiers are, they will always be insignificant in the face of heaven and earth."

Qin Qiong nodded after hearing this: "Tonight we will take turns keeping vigil in pairs. We cannot take it lightly. Everyone should stay closer to avoid catching a cold."

The first ones on duty were Qin Qiong and Zhou Wu. The fire was burning, crackling sounds were heard, and the wind was whistling outside the cave. Zhou Wu, who was slightly chilly, tightened his jacket tightly, picked it up and put it beside the fire to burn. I took a sip of the water soup.

"Brother Qin Qiong, sometimes I really envy you."

"Envy me? What do you envy me for?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin values ​​you so much. Following a person like His Highness the King of Jin who has great talents and outstanding talents, the future will be limitless."

Qin Qiong said: "Your Highness, I have tried to recruit you many times, but you yourself have refused. Your Highness, King Jin, is really a very good person. With such a noble status, he is sincere and friendly to others, and he has no airs about us. Treating her like a friend, even her rudeness and rudeness cannot be said to be bad in front of His Highness Prince Jin."

Qin Qiong saw Zhou Wu's slightly lamented look and asked: "Brother Zhou Wu, why are you sighing? If you really want to serve His Highness, you can't speak. When you go back this time, I will help you talk to Your Highness. Your Highness If I value you so much, I will definitely be very happy."

Zhou Wu sighed softly: "Yes, your highness is really an excellent person. For a wild boy like me to make a living in the mountains and forests, you still gave me a sword. I don't know how to appreciate it. I am really lucky to meet someone like your highness." Fortunately."

As he spoke, Zhou Wu gently stroked the sword that Yang Guang gave him. Yang Guang's gift of the sword was not just a random gift. It was a sword that he usually used. Even if it had no special meaning, the sword itself was A precious sword.

"Brother Zhou Wu, I don't know what you are struggling with. Following His Highness is a good way out."

"Brother Qin Qiong, what if your parents don't allow it?"

"At that time, His Highness the King of Jin sent someone to find me. I asked my mother first, and she agreed with tears in her eyes. My mother and I depended on each other. If my mother did not allow me, it would be impossible for me to go out. After all, my parents are greater than the sky, but I believe There is no parent in the world who doesn’t want their son to find a way out with such a heroic and courteous Highness as His Highness the Prince of Jin."

Qin Qiong's face was filled with joy when he talked about Yang Guang, and he was naturally grateful to Yang Guang for his kindness.

Zhou Wu smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's my parents' orders. Brother Qin Qiong seems to have a very good relationship with his mother."

"Yes, my mother worked hard to raise me. How could I not be filial to my mother? When I save some savings with His Highness King Jin, I will also buy a property for my mother in Daxing City and let her enter this world. Go to the most prosperous city, have a good look, and live a good life."

"Brother Qin Qiong, is Daxing City really as prosperous as the rumors say?"

Qin Qiong nodded with great determination: "Before I saw it, I heard scattered rumors. After seeing it, I realized that the rumors were superficial. Only when I saw it with my own eyes can I know. I can't describe the prosperity. I can only say it's heaven." world."

Similar to the Ma brothers who went to suppress bandits before, Zhou Wu had a look of yearning in his eyes.

"Hey, my relationship with my parents is not as close as that of brother Qin Qiong. I had a quarrel with my father three years ago and ran away from home in anger. I had a strong heart and refused to admit defeat. I just didn't want to go back and bow my head. I think What I did was right, but my father also had a donkey temper and ignored me, and to this day no one else knows whether his son is still alive."

"Brother Zhou Wu, why bother? It's not easy for parents to have children and grow up. You are a loyal person, and you must be filial to be loyal. Why should you be stubborn with your parents? Just admit your mistakes to them when you go back. ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Qin Qiong's words have opened my heart a lot. I feel more cordial when I see you. I wonder if Brother Qin Qiong is willing to sworn sworn brother with me."

The fire reflected in Qin Qiong's eyes was scorching and he immediately responded: "You and I don't need so many ceremonies. Just in this cave, the heaven and earth will be the certificate, and the wind and sand will be the certificate, and we will marry Jinlan."

The two of them knelt down immediately. Qin Qiong was serious, so he formally swore sworn vows with Zhou Wu. After asking about his birth date, Qin Qiong was a little surprised, seeing that Zhou Wu, who was smaller than him, was actually one year older than him. .

"Brother."

"Brother."

The two looked at each other, laughed, drank tea instead of wine, and became sworn brothers.
