Chapter 1010: love country more love beauty
Chapter 1010 Love Jiangshan more love beauty
The cold winter night, the long night.
Coming out of the prince's military tent, the four generals of Xi Gao all looked a little heavy, and they came to the snow wall stepping on the muddy snow and grout.
Outside the wall, there are piles of bonfires, which are lit by Qingqi guards outside the city. They can not only keep warm, but also illuminate the night, and prevent the Tuyuhun people from attacking in the dark at night.
"Is this settled?" Gao Zhensheng asked.
"The prince has made up his mind." Liang Jianfang said.
There was a silence.
Xi Junmai took out a piece of seized beef jerky and chewed, "Your Highness is very confident."
"It should be said to be conceited."
"Pureheaded."
The four generals did not hide their attitudes. The several months of getting along with each other allowed them to know more about His Highness the Crown Prince. Back then, they served as Zhonglang Generals in the East Palace Brigade, and the Crown Prince was still too young. When they got together, the prince's performance really shocked them.
From suspicion at the beginning, to admiration later, to emotion now, His Royal Highness is really beyond the grasp of ordinary people.
The word self-willed was said by Gao Kan. He is the queen's cousin, and the crown prince has to respect him as a cousin. It's okay for him to say this obviously derogatory word. Xi Junmai felt that this word was very appropriate. Although the prince performed surprisingly well in this battle, it could not conceal some of the prince's arrogance.
Even conceited a little too much.
"The prince's use of troops is quite similar to Duke Wei's."
"After all, Duke Wei taught it himself. Duke Wei's art of war is not in vain, but in fact there are still some differences. Following Duke Wei, no matter how dangerous or strange Weigong is, we are always down-to-earth. Yes, because we know that Duke Wei's risk is not a gamble, but a resourcefulness after repeated calculations, but following the prince, I always feel terrified."
Liang Jianfang took a piece of beef jerky from Xi Jun's shop and chewed it, sighing, "Wei Gongyongbing, every time before making a decision, he still seriously solicits the opinions of soldiers joining the army, and his tactics can also let us I understand and believe in it, but His Royal Highness never asks for our opinion, it has always been like this all the way, and it is decided with one word."
The four of them were chewing beef jerky in the snow, and finally came to a conclusion that His Highness the Crown Prince is very smart, and his art of war has been taught by Duke Wei a lot, but his character is indeed a bit headstrong.
"Why don't we think of a way to slow down the speed when we march tomorrow, delay it a bit, and wait for the horsemen to catch up?"
"I don't know where those horsemen are now. I guess they may have already joined the battle with the Tuyuhun people. After all, there are Tuyuhun people everywhere here. It is impossible for us to come all the way without alarming them. We didn't stop us, but we stopped behind. It is normal for Tuoba Chici to wait."
Tomorrow, the prince will attack Murong Cheng again with 10,000 horsemen.
Murong Cheng's place, there will be at least 100,000 people, and there may be no less than 40,000 to 50,000 young and strong fighters.
"It's estimated that the snow will stop in a while." Liang Jianfang said.
The snow is falling heavily, and the snow is getting thicker and thicker. This will be very unfavorable for the raiding operation, especially when the Tuyuhun people are still prepared. Tomorrow's battle will be very difficult.
"Surprise operations rely on being unprepared. If the enemy is prepared, there is no advantage at all. I can't see where our chances of winning are."
"Yes, we don't know where our rear army is now, but there are still many Tuyuhun tribes around here. It would be too dangerous for us to force our troops out of danger."
"But His Royal Highness seems to have tasted the sweetness and became addicted. Now no one can make him stop this idea, unless Duke Wei is here!"
"I think even if Duke Wei is here, he may not be able to hold back the excited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
······
The night fell, and the bright red flags during the day were all dyed black by the night.
The camp of the Tang army is located in the valley of the west source of Huangshui River. In summer, it used to be a flat river beach, full of beach numbness, and the stream is shallow and clear, but now it is covered with white and white.
The camp didn't quiet down until midnight.
Although there are many soldiers and horses in the camp, Guan Long's elite qualities are displayed, even if they temporarily set up camp in the wild snow, the camp is neat. The battalions and brigades built their camps and set up tents in strict accordance with the method of garrisoning. Even though they were going to send troops tomorrow morning, each team dug their own latrines as soon as possible.
Each battalion has a star officer on duty, responsible for night guards, there are clear posts, secret posts, and rangers outside.
No one was making loud noises in the barracks, let alone walking around indiscriminately. They stayed in their own camps and tents. In the ice and snow, after a full meal of horse meat, beef and sheep, the hunger was relieved. But it was still very cold at night. Fortunately, they were all elites from Guanlong with good equipment. Although a lot of luggage was not carried, the cavalry still had blankets and blankets. They slept side by side, with two layers of blankets on the ground, and then they turned their heads upside down, hugged each other's feet to keep warm, and wrapped two layers of blankets around their bodies, although it was inevitable to smell each other's stinky feet.
But in the ice and snow, it is indeed much warmer to hold someone in your arms, not to mention, each felt blanket can be doubled.
Some cavalrymen with better conditions will also bring some better heating items, such as dog fur mats or even wolf fur mattresses, or bearskin robes, sheepskin jackets, woolen clothes, etc., and some even have fur All in one sleeping bag.
Mainly fur is the main fur. Bear fur is the best, then wolf fur, and dog fur is the worst. These are the most cold-proof and warm-keeping. When the whole person drills in, it can not only protect against the damp and cold on the ground, but also keep warm.
If you pour two water bags of hot water before going to bed, one in your arms and one under your feet, I don’t know how cool it will be.
Although Chengqian's logistics camp did not come, but as the crown prince, he will definitely enjoy better treatment. He has a separate big tent, which belonged to the captured Tuyuhun people, and it belonged to the great Khan Murong Cheng. The large tent is made of extremely large materials, and it is even decorated with gold, silver and precious stones.
Not to mention that when it was seized, all the items in the account were seized.
Inside, the floor was first covered with double layers of yak felt, and then a layer of Persian carpet was laid. There was also a large fire pit in the middle. It was freezing outside, but there was still silver charcoal in the tent for warmth.
He also captured more than a dozen wives, concubines and maidservants in Murong Cheng's tent, all of whom were young and beautiful. That Murong Cheng's wife was his continuation, and his ex-wife was originally the daughter of Prime Minister Tianzhu Wang. So he also divorced this wife and married the daughter of King Xuan as his wife.
This daughter of King Xuan is very young and beautiful. There are two blobs of blush on her face, and her skin is darker, but she is healthy. Her clothes and hair accessories are completely different from those of the Central Plains.
Chengqian did not take the beauties he collected along the way in this raid.
Leaning against the fire, he couldn't fall asleep anyway, he was too excited, Cheng Qian looked at those Murong Cheng's wives, concubines and maidservants lying in the corner of the big tent, and his heart was agitated.
"come here!"
······
Women are very frightened. There are many wars on the grassland, and women also understand what will happen after defeat. As women, they often don't have much choice, let alone the ability to resist.
Even, the women on the prairie, sometimes even just a piece of property, are men's vassals.
After the Tang army killed them, they failed to escape with the men, and eventually became the captives of the Tang people and their trophies.
The Tang Prince His Highness who is much younger than her husband has become the new owner of this golden tent, and also their master.
When the prince left them in the tent, she was already prepared in her heart, knowing that this moment could come at any time, and it would definitely come.
She was terrified, but she never thought of resisting.
In this valley, one day ago, there were 100,000 Tuyuhun tribes who swore allegiance to their husbands, but a day later, 20,000 Tang troops occupied it.
Although Tang Jun also died many people, they are still extremely powerful. She has witnessed Tang Qi's fierceness and her husband's cowardice and incompetence.
"Come here, come here to enjoy the fire, there is still meat here, eat some."
"I'm not hungry." She didn't move.
"I haven't eaten for a day, how can I not be hungry, come here, eat meat and warm the fire, by the way, your Chinese language is good." Chengqian smiled at her, "Don't worry, I won't take off my armor tonight, so It won't do anything to you either."
In the corner behind the prince, several prince's Lu Ben guards stood there smiling, looking like they were watching a show.
"Your Highness, do you want us to go out for a while?"
"It's so cold outside, why don't you go out to drink the northwest wind?" Cheng Qian scolded with a smile, and then called Murong Cheng's wives and concubines over, even the maidservants, "What are you afraid of, I don't know how to eat people."
"Your Highness, if you want me here, I hope you can let other people go out, at least let the guards stand at the door of the tent, I don't want them to watch."
She stood up tremblingly, trying her best to maintain her elegance, but at this moment, she still couldn't control her body shaking.
She said again, "If you really want me now, I hope you can ask someone to boil some water for me. I want to take a bath first."
Chengqian was a little surprised, he tilted his head, "It's true that I am Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but you can also call me Dalang."
"My father is Murong Wei, King Xuan of Tuyuhun, and my husband is Murong Cheng, Great Khan of Tuyuhun."
"Murong Cheng is a pseudo-Khan who murdered his brother and betrayed Tang Zili. What's your name?"
"My father named me Xi, the dawn of Qinghai Lake..."
Cheng Qian smiled and said, "This name is quite good, Murong Chenxi, your surname is also Murong, so are you of the same family as Murong Cheng?"
"Yes, the ancestor of my family is Tuyuhun Great Khan, one of his nine sons."
"Then what is your relationship with Murong Cheng?"
"According to the seniority in the family, I am Murong Cheng's aunt, but although I and the Great Khan share the same ancestor, they are of different branches."
Tuyuhun moved to Qinghai from the east and west of Liao Dynasty, established the khanate here, and gave birth to nine sons. It has been hundreds of years. Murong Xi and Murong Cheng are aunts and nephews according to their seniority, but the ancestors of the two families are two of the nine sons of Tuyuhun. , Already out of the fifth server.
Chengqian smiled, "I know you grassland people don't pay much attention to these things. Come, have some barbecue. Don't worry, I don't have any other ideas. Even if I have, I have to finish this battle."
Chengqian thought this woman was very interesting, and even aroused a desire to possess her, but in the end he restrained himself. This is a battlefield, unlike before in the rear.
He didn't intend to take off the armor on his body, these armors would take a long time to put on.
She finally came over, still a little scared, but pretending to be calm.
It’s very interesting. If an ordinary Han girl encountered this kind of scene, she would definitely rather die than obey, right?
She is very young, her face is dark but ruddy, especially the two blobs of blush on her cheeks, which add a bit of interest, her eyes are terrified but bright, her figure is slender and strong.
This should be considered a beauty, and she is also a very interesting beauty who can speak Chinese.
"You are my second biggest gain today!" Cheng Qian smiled and pulled her into his arms...
