Chapter 73 The Autumn Wind Rises

?The autumn wind blows, and felt tents are rising one after another in the wilderness. Smoke curling up the fires between the felt tents. There are sometimes roaming around the periphery. This is the camp of the Turkic army attacking the Sui Kingdom.

More than ten cavalry galloped from the east towards the camp, and stopped the cavalry on the outside. After a while, the cavalry dispersed and entered the camp directly.

In the big tent, a man dressed in luxurious clothes was eating roasted lamb legs. A person outside the tent came in and reported that he had caught the Sui army's detailed work. The man asked how many people he caught. After learning that there was only one person and claimed to see him, he threw the lamb legs and sneered: "So bold, I want to see what kind of person it is."

A moment later, footsteps sounded outside the tent, and the man was drinking butterfly and waiting for the bold sac to be brought in. Since he headed south, countless sacred Sui army sacrificial artifacts have come to spy on military information, but it was the first time that he dared to come alone.

One person was tied in by a bunch of flowers. The man looked at the other party with interest. He was about to speak and mock him but was stunned, and then he rushed up and rushed to the other party.

"Bold! Be bold! Relax! Release your ties!" He shouted loudly, and the left and right saw this and looked at each other. When the man saw a group of people in a daze, he pulled out his small knife and cut the Sui army into a rope.

"Brother Ji Sheng, my bunny are all blind, don't take it to heart." The man enthusiastically pulled the other party to the seat, "Why don't you say hello if you want to come?"

"Why do you have to make things difficult for Ye Hu when the two countries are at war?" Changsun Sheng smiled, changing his previous down-and-out appearance, and sat down with the man carelessly. Ji Sheng was his name.

The person in front of him was a Turkic nobleman, who was Ye Hu of the Khanate. He is the younger brother of Shaboluo Khan, who is now the Asunahuluo Marquis, and is also Changsun Sheng's friend in the Turks.

"Where are people, others are one thing, you are another!" Chu Luohou smiled and said, the hero in front of him who was admirable, shot two eagles to death with one arrow.

The Legend of the Condor Heroes on the grassland were selected from one place, and there was almost no one who could kill two birds with one stone. However, the good man in front of him did it. Although he was from Zhou, the Turkic nobles also admired him very much.

No, he is now a native of the Sui Kingdom, but the Duke of Chuluo doesn't care. If Khan breaks through Chang'an and gains a foothold in the Central Plains, he thinks Changsun Sheng must be a high-ranking official and a generous salary.

"Why are you here alone?" asked Chu Luohou. When he heard that Changsun Sheng was valued by Master Sui, he wondered why the other party would come here rashly. Besides, with his martial arts, no one could stop him as long as he wanted to withdraw.

"It's useless to have any followers. I want to see Khan. I'd like to ask Ye Hu to do a favor." Changsun Sheng directly expressed his purpose, "War between the two countries will only lead to both losses. Your Majesty asked me to meet Khan..."

"Brother Ji Sheng, could he offend someone?" Chu Luohou was stunned when he heard this, "What's the use of coming to find Khan at this time?"

The Khanate army went south and could not be sent away in a few words. Changsun Sheng came alone to persuade the Khan to withdraw his troops. The only thing Mr. Chuluo could think of was to be framed by a villain, forcing him to see the Great Khan of the Turkic Khan and then use a knife to kill people.

"Stop saying anything, stay here. Master Sui is blind and asks you to die. I won't watch you be in trouble!"

"Khan is a sensible person, and he won't kill me, don't worry Ye Hu." Changsun Sheng said with a smile.

"But it's different!" Chuluo Hou shouted, "She was determined to instigate Khan to attack Chang'an and avenge her father and brother!"

Seeing Changsun Sheng's disapproval, he grabbed the other party in a hurry and said, "Good brother, it's not that I'm scaring you. Now Khan obeys Ke Dunhe, you want to go..."

He paused for a moment and looked outside and said, "If you want to go, wait for a while, it is not suitable now!"

"But Dunhe wants to take revenge, and his intentions will not change no matter how long he waits." Changsun Sheng said, "Ye Hu, our army has mobilized elite troops to fight. If we fight with Khan, will Abo Khan miss this opportunity after returning to the grassland?"

KDunhe is the daughter of the princess who married Tuobo Khan two years ago in Zhou State. Not long after, Tuobo Khan died of illness. According to custom, she was married to her successor Shaboluo Khan. The daughter of Yuwen Zhao, the king of Zhao of Zhou State, and had a grudge against the Emperor Yang Jian of Sui.

"I know this, but it's sacrificial... Datou Khan is eager to make great contributions this time when he goes south. If Khan retreats, he will take the opportunity..."

"Ye Hu, it's autumn now." Changsun Sheng said, "The two sides have been confronting each other. What do you eat in Sui State in winter?"

"Who said no? Khan also knew that the war would be unfavorable if it was delayed for a long time, but..." Chuluo Hou said with a dry cough. Everyone was smart. The Turkic army went deep into the Central Plains for too long. Although the Sui army suffered some defeats, it was not small in strength, and a considerable number of troops were behind the Turkic army.

The Sui army was still dominated by cavalry. Once the Turkic army was blocked from the front and was attacked again, it would be bad. Although it was not impossible to break through and return to the grassland, it was probably going to change the situation after its strength was damaged.

"If Datou wants to rush, let him rush, and the head is bleeding." Changsun Sheng said, and he saluted solemnly and said, "Your Majesty asked me to meet the Khan to explain the pros and cons, don't let other fishermen benefit!"

"Oh my good brother, are you in a hurry to die?" Chu Luohou pulled the other party down and sat down, "But Dunhe is now favored. If she sent someone to kill you, Khan would be angry for a few days."

"Listen to me, stay here with peace of mind, and wait until the situation of the war changes before you go to Khan to discuss it." He picked up a lamb leg and handed it to Changsun Sheng, "It's been missing for half a year, so you have to talk about the past."

"Then I'll bother you." Changsun Sheng took the lamb leg, which was exactly the result he wanted, and he wanted to stay at Chuluo Hou to watch the changes.

It is impossible to retreat to the enemy by relying solely on your lips. You can't get anything you can't get on the battlefield by relying on your mouth. Only when the Turkic army went south was bleeding, he could be at ease among the Khans.

Shaboluo Khan succeeded to the throne and urgently needed to launch a war to prove his strength. Datou Khan, the west side of the Turkic Khan, also wanted to take this opportunity to make meritorious service and increase his reputation. Apo Khan, who was not in the hot position, also had ideas. He was staring at Shaboluo Khan and did not make any noise.

Now these three people lead their troops south together, and they seem to be intimate on the surface, but when the war is unfavorable, they will be intrigue and will only achieve a great deal of force.

After eating a few bites of roasted lamb, Changsun Sheng said goodbye and said he would go back first and send away the followers who followed him, and at the same time he would report peace to avoid their family members' worries. The Duluo Hou disagreed when he heard this.

"Master Sui is really, why don't you send some bold people to come with you and let a few timid people go back to report the news. Everyone else stays here together!"

"Don't, if Ye Hu has a few things, someone will say that I will harm you with my subordinates." Changsun Sheng waved his hand.

"That's not the case. If you want to kill me, do you have to find a helper?" Chu Luohou laughed, "Let them come and I'll help you train well!"

......

Xiyang City, Hulin Army Barracks, Bazhou Governor Yuwen Wen was ‘nodding’, and there was a crowd of black people in front of him.

Today is a happy payday. Now that the war has come to an end, the army returns to the camp, and the military pay is just right to pay the soldiers. Yu Wenwen transformed into a boy who dispersed wealth. He first went to Yanji and the five continents in the south bank to pay the military pay, and then returned to the Jiangbei military camp to continue dispersing wealth.

The soldiers of the Hulin Army in Yanji and Wuzhou were unwilling to receive military pay. It was not that they didn't want it, but they were useless now when they were stationed outside. They had to take it back to Jiangbei when they were on the offside, so Yuwen Wen walked around the boat but did not send out a string of money. The soldiers could trust the commander, so they all declared that they would receive it after they went back.

The soldiers' thoughts were very direct: when the food was stationed, they had no place to spend money. Anyway, Yuwen envoy would definitely not drink soldiers' blood, so go back and get it to avoid trouble.

Yuwen Wen was not idle either. He would not be so bored that he used a boat to pull heavy copper coins around. As the saying goes, "integrity-based", he wanted the soldiers to see that military pay was paid on time. Of course, there was another one like the previous month, that is, military pay was paid by him personally.

So now Yuwen Wen kept nodding and bowing, and ordered the soldiers to keep chanting their names. When the soldiers gathered in the school grounds heard that they read their names, they went to the stage. Yuwen Wen personally presented the military pay with both hands and said some words of encouragement.

It's a bit stingy and a little pretending, but Yuwen Wen has been persisting since last year until now, unless it's a special situation where he leads the war abroad, he has been persisting for more than a year.

Excluding the soldiers stationed outside, there are nearly 3,000 soldiers in the military camp today. If the time Yuwen Wen spent on each person is calculated in five seconds, it would take 15,000 seconds to complete a process, that is, more than four hours (two hours).

In view of this, not all the soldiers gathered in the schoolyard together. According to the usual practice, they came out one by one. They could see the comrades in the previous building receiving military pay without waiting too long.

This nodded and bowed. After two hours, Yuwen Wen suffered a lot. After waiting for the last soldier to pay, Yuwen Wen was about to kneel down.

His arms were heavy and he could hardly lift them up. His waist felt like he was about to break and his legs were numb. Yuwen Wen had been training hard this year and finally could stand and finish his salary.

Of course, the state Sima Yang Ji was also suffering. In a few days, the state soldiers would have to suffer. Yuwen Wen has always liked to cheat his subordinates, so he naturally would not let go of the hardworking Yang Ji. The people's hearts of the Hulin Army were his rebellious scales. It doesn't matter if Yang Ji helped him watch.

After forcing his way around the military camp, Yuwen Wen got on the carriage and left. Since his father-in-law Yang Jian sent a master to Xiyang successfully lurking, at the strong request of "industry insider" Zhang Dingfa, he always took a carriage when traveling in the city.

Thanks to the carriage, Yuwen Wen collapsed instantly after the door was closed. He was already trained to pay a monthly salary, but in the past few days, he was in a different state of his condition than the "Enemy Commander" Yuchi Chifan.

"Long legs..." Yuwen Wen was a little distracted. While rubbing his waist, he took out a kettle to drink water. He was hesitating whether to hang a battle-free sign tonight. If this continues, he will be unable to deal with the 'enemies deputy commander' Yang Lihua.

Plowing fields is a physical job, but fortunately it is just two fields now...

While he was struggling, the carriage stopped. Zhang Yu whispered outside and said softly that it had arrived. Yuwen Wen shook his spirit when he heard this. After the car door opened, he walked out of the car, and there was an endless rice field in front of him.

The yellow wheat waves were rising and falling with the wind. Xu Shao led the officials to wait by the field for a long time. People were surging around them. The people of Xiyang with smiles on their faces. Yuwen Wen nodded and took the sickle handed over by Xu Shao, pointed to the rice fields in front of him and shouted: "The autumn harvest began!"
