- The day after the glorious victory and grand celebration, the vanguard army of the Eastern Turks finally arrived outside Xiaoguan City.
At Mao Shi, at the end of Mao Shi in late autumn, the moon in the sky has just set. It is still dark outside Xiaoguan. With the help of the starlight of the morning star, the world is at its darkest time before the sun rises in the east, when black and white alternate. time!
Due to yesterday's great victory by Zhang Yang and others against the Turkic general Moro, the entire Xiao Pass brought back hundreds of injured horses and over a thousand horse corpses. This provided the entire Xiao Pass with hundreds of thousands of kilograms of meat. The sergeants of the Tang Dynasty, who rarely ate meat, were drooling at the sight.
As a logistics general in charge of logistics, Ran Hongzhi would not understand the thoughts of these ordinary soldiers at the lower level.
This is not normal. Due to limited military expenditures and the meat production of the Tang Dynasty, the goods in the army are mainly corn and wheat. The meat is meaty and fishy. It will take several days to have such a meal, and the oil and water in it are All are limited.
Now seeing the corpses of more than a thousand horses, in their eyes, the dead horses are used for meat, and it is late autumn, the weather is getting colder, and the horses have the last time to store fat for the winter, so now the horses They are all fat and strong, with the most oil and water. Everyone's mouths water when they think about it. As for the horse meat that will produce foam and emit a foul smell during the cooking process, it is not within their scope of consideration. It¡¯s good to eat meat, but there are still people who don¡¯t like this or that!
What¡¯s more, horse meat is one of the meats often used by nomadic people, and it has a history of eating for more than 3,000 years.
There is no serious shortage of war horses. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, due to frequent wars, war horses died in battle. Although there were many disabilities, as a soldier of the Tang Army, he often ate horse meat. So they are not very resistant to eating horse meat.
What's more, horse meat is rich in protein, vitamins and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium, etc. It has the functions of restoring liver function and preventing anemia, nourishing qi, nourishing liver and blood, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, and promotes blood circulation. Circulation, preventing arteriosclerosis, and enhancing human immunity;
The quality of horse meat fat is better than that of cattle, sheep, and pigs. Horse meat fat is similar to vegetable oil. The unsaturated fatty acids it contains can dissolve cholesterol. It prevents it from being deposited on the blood vessel wall and has a special effect on preventing arteriosclerosis.
So after harvesting hundreds of thousands of kilograms of horse meat, Ran Hongzhi decisively ordered an additional meal that night. Those who went out to fight today would add two kilograms of cooked horse meat, and the rest would add one kilogram of cooked horse meat as an extra dinner subsidy. This made the group of men salivate looking at the horse meat. But the birds were overjoyed, and Zhang Yang and Qin Liyan also expressed their approval of Ran Hongzhi's order.
The war is about to begin. It is necessary to improve the food of the soldiers. If you want the horses to run faster. How is that possible if the horses are not allowed to eat grass?
What's more, hundreds of thousands of kilograms of meat have just been harvested. In this season, although the temperature has dropped, it will not be kept for long. It will only take a few days at most before it will rot. Rather than letting it rot like this , then it is better to let everyone eat it if it is wasted.
This allows the soldiers under his command to eat these meats, which not only wastes food, but also helps to increase the morale of the soldiers. Why not do it.
Isn¡¯t it just after Ran Hongzhi announced that there would be extra meals tonight, Qin Liyan opened his mouth and said to all the soldiers in Xiaoguan:
"My lords, how can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my spear and spear. I share the same enemy with you! How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same clothes with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my spear and halberd. I share the same robe with you. Do it! How can I say that I have no clothes? I wear the same clothes as you. The king raised his army and repaired my armor. I went with you!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Today, the barbarian Turks and wolfish ambitions invade our Tang Dynasty. I, Qin Liyan, have been ordered to guard Xiaoguan with you all to protect the peace of our Tang Dynasty!
There are hundreds of thousands of horse meat. Now I, Captain Zhang, and General Ran have decided to change the meal from two meals to three meals for you, starting from tomorrow, and add one meal at noon, and each person will have one meal at noon. Add one kilogram of horse meat to each meal in the evening, and each family will eat half a kilogram of horse meat until the Turkic barbarians retreat, or we die in Xiaoguan, or all the hundreds of thousands of kilograms of horse meat seized today are consumed.
I only hope that you all will work together with me to guard Xiao Pass, keep the Turkic barbarians out of Xiao Pass, and protect our Tang Dynasty!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of Xiao Pass?
"Yes! We are willing! As long as I am here, I will not perish if I perish. If I perish, I will perish. Today, General Qin, Captain Zhang, and General Ran, you have failed us. We will surely live up to you generals in the future." It will be like this, I am invincible!
I, Ju Ruicong (Gao Yongsi, Sang Minglang), swear today to fight to the end with the Turkic barbarians and to live and die with Xiao Guan! "
With Qin Liyan¡¯s suggestion??, the originally high morale of countless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was lifted up again, making countless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty feel the same. They stood up one after another to answer Qin Liyan's questions, and swore to defend Xiao Pass to the death and prevent the Eastern Turks from entering Xiao Pass. Close one step.
This scene of thousands of people swearing an oath is so passionate and touching. Under this unprecedented unity, everyone is inspired!
This made all the generals feel the blood and faith of the soldiers, letting them know that the military spirit is available!
This greatly strengthened their determination to guard Xiaoguan. The oaths of this era are not as common as swearing to drink water in later generations. They are just a joke. Once you swear an oath, you must take your oath seriously and complete it to the death!
In this way, after dinner and extra meals in the evening, the atmosphere reached a climax. Everyone trusts each other. Only when you and I trust each other can we achieve perfect win-win cooperation. Now that Ran Hongzhi and the others have begun to fulfill their promises, ordinary soldiers Naturally, they have to start fulfilling their promises. Although there is no fighting during the war, it is inevitable to strengthen their vigilance.
So although Xiao Guan looked so quiet before dawn, he was still immersed in yesterday's victory.
But at this moment, countless men in black suddenly emerged from the many houses in Xiaoguan City. At first glance, no one in this group of men in black was holding a bright weapon. You know it was carefully crafted by craftsmen and is extremely sharp.
At the same time, his whole body was covered in black clothes. Even his face was covered with a black scarf, and you could tell at a glance that he was not a good person.
What¡¯s more, now is the time when the two armies are fighting. A curfew was implemented early. After dark and night every day, and before dawn, it is strictly forbidden to wander outside. Although there is not much time before dawn, after all, the sun has not come out yet, and the curfew is still in place!
And such a large group of people gathered together during curfew. Everyone is holding a sharp weapon, what else can they be used for?
??It is impossible to strong people. You want to say that Yuanzhou and Lingzhou are located on the border and have many strong people. There is nothing wrong with that, but Xiaoguan is the most important gateway to the north of the Tang Dynasty, for the safety of Xiaoguan. Every year, the Tang Army organized troops to encircle and suppress nearby strongmen. Faced with the Tang Army's years of encirclement and suppression, few strongmen slipped through the net, and even if they did, most of them changed places.
What's more, most of the strongmen of this era were forced to become bandits at the end of the previous dynasty when the world was in chaos because they could no longer survive. Only since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, three generations of emperors have worked together to improve things. Under the influence of people's livelihood, most of the strongmen were recruited and repatriated to their ancestral places, or those who had no place to go were arranged to be resettled in the local area and became good citizens based on the principle of nearby resettlement.
In this society where everyone wants to be safe, there are not that many people who are still working as strongmen, and even if they are strongmen, they may not be able to enjoy the hot food and drink spicy food. Most of them can only get enough food and clothing, and many of them can't even get enough food and clothing. , coupled with the constant need to face the encirclement and suppression of the Tang army, as well as the economic recovery in the next few years, especially this year's bumper grain harvest, people see the hope of filling their stomachs.
This allowed more strong men and mountain people to avoid disasters to walk out of the mountains and forests, integrate into the Tang Dynasty society, and become good citizens.
Therefore, it is simply impossible to gather so many strongmen in Xiaoguan City to rob families and homes. There are not so many strongmen in the entire Yuanzhou nearby. Although there are still some strongmen remaining in the Liupanshan Mountains, Not much more.
What¡¯s more, it¡¯s even more impossible to go to Xiaoguan, a military fortress, to rob homes and rob homes.
Normally, these people would have no time to hide, so how could they throw themselves into a trap and come to Xiaoguan to do this thing of robbing families and homes?
Also, when Xiaoguan was trying to confuse the Turkic spies, they only stationed more than a thousand guards at Xiaoguan. If these strong men wanted to rob their families, they had to choose to do it at that time. How could they choose to do it now? Xiaoguan has received a large number of reinforcements, and the garrison exceeds 10,000 people. After fighting with the Turkic cavalry, did they come to Xiaoguan to do this?
This is obviously unscientific and contrary to common sense, so this group of people is destined not to be the strong men in this area. So at this time, they dressed in black, risked the curfew, and ran out with weapons. , its identity is self-evident!
"My lord, the brothers have gathered together. Now please give me your order. What should we do next?"
After a while, a large group of hundreds of people in black gathered together. At this moment, a man in black came to them. He was wearing black clothes and holding a steel knife. He was dressed similarly to the other people in black. , but the man in black with a red silk scarf on his left arm shouted.
But after he yelled like that, the man with the red scarf on his armThe status of the man in black clothes is highlighted. It is obvious that this man is the leader of this group of men in black, and they distinguish their status by the color of the silk scarf wrapped around their arms.
Because among the hundreds of people, that one person was wearing a red scarf, and the remaining five or six were wearing blue scarves, and the man in black who just asked the red scarf was one of them. , this group of people should be considered second-level characters.
Next, there were dozens of people with green silk scarves wrapped around their left arms. This Hill should be a figure on the third level. The last remaining people were also the men in black with the largest number of people and the lowest status. Those were all There are no scarves of any color.
"Lan Wu, are you sure everyone is here? No one is missing. We are all our own people here and there are no mistakes. There must be no mistakes in tonight's action. Otherwise, we all will have our lives." Lost in this!"
The man with the red scarf wrapped around his left arm did not rush to give the order, but asked Lan Wu first.
"Sir, the younger one has already confirmed it with Lan 1, Lan 2, Lan 3, Lan 4, and Lan 6. All the brothers are here, and no one is absent. As for the identity of the personnel, we have also confirmed it with others. There is no problem. We are all our brothers here!"
"That's good, Blue Five, you also know. This is not that I, Red Two, deliberately embarrass you. I want you to confirm it in person. There is nothing I can do!
You, the blue-level members, also know the importance of tonight¡¯s mission. If this mission wasn¡¯t too important and difficult, I wouldn¡¯t have received the order from my superiors. Just call all of you here.
We, all of us, have gathered here in this short period of time, but we have come at the risk of exposing our identity. We have spent countless efforts on this identity, if this was not a death order from the leader. , and also has the leader¡¯s token. As well as handwritten documents, I don¡¯t have such great authority to mobilize so many of you to carry out this extremely dangerous task! "
It turns out that the leader with the red silk scarf wrapped around his left arm is called Hong Er. At a glance, you can tell that this is the code name of the organization, not his real name. How is it possible that someone is called this name? The surname is Hong and the second name is second. How is it possible?
Generally speaking, these are organizations that have very strict organizational structures and cannot show their true colors to others. These organizations are generally bad guy organizations, such as killer organizations, espionage organizations, undercover organizations, and the country's secret organizations. Category.
No matter how you say this kind of organization, it is a group of violent organizations and is not suitable for ordinary people to stay in.
"Yes! Sir, this mission is really important. Otherwise, we would not have summoned all of us to Xiaoguan. You must know that all the power under my command is also here. , if I fail, I will have no value in existing!
But fortunately, Sir, this mission has been completed. We can really see people with our true colors, return to our hometown, and see our relatives. We no longer have to live incognito and change our names in the Tang Dynasty like we do now. very nice!
Sir, you don¡¯t know that I have been living under different names in the Tang Dynasty for these years because I was deeply afraid that I would reveal my identity by talking in my sleep after falling asleep, and I would make a gaffe while drunk and expose my identity. When I was young, I didn¡¯t dare to drink too much. I slept alone, and I was even more afraid to marry a wife. Fortunately, these days are over, otherwise I would really not be able to bear it anymore! "
After Lan Wu said to Hong Er that this mission was extremely dangerous, he sighed to him, it seems that his life in Datang has not been easy these years!
"Lan Wu, let's not talk about you. I'm not the same. Don't talk about me. I believe that the big guys here, no matter what level they are in the organization, are not the same. I can't sleep at night. You see, I, Red Two, am now considered a I am a figure, and I am about to reach the top in the organization, but I don't dare to leak the organization's situation, otherwise it will be a disaster.
Alas Fortunately, these days are coming to an end. As long as this mission is successfully completed, we can return home in glory. By then, we who have gone our separate ways will not have to live like this in the darkness with a new look. When the time comes, there will definitely be a place for you and me in the world under the sun. I don¡¯t know how many brothers will be able to leave alive after this mission! "
When thinking about this mission, Hong Er had to worry about the lives of himself and others. It was a narrow escape!
"Sir, this is our destiny. We had this awareness when we joined the organization.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
If we succeed, we will be the heroes of the organization and the heroes of the nation. If we fail, we won¡¯t have to do anything after that.Don't worry, you don't have to worry about it. The people behind you will naturally be responsible for what happens after you die, and we dead people don't even have to worry about it!
