Chapter 3 Captive Laan Dulu's Wife
In the second year of Xianqing (657 AD), on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, four o'clock in the morning.
In the northwest of Mongolia, the Altai Mountains, and on the green grasslands on the northern foot of the Mukun tribe and the Tang soldiers were fighting bloodily. On the front of more than ten miles, the elite cavalry of both sides intersected, all of whom were red in their eyes and reaped their lives.
Wu Kang was deaf in his ears and his eyes were mixed with black and red. He drove the Doudeng and rushed forward. The flail stick was swung, and the iron chain drove the hexagonal steel, which hit the Turkic soldiers' foreheads. The skull was instantly concave, the skin was spread out and the flesh fell off the horse, and the Doudeng was stepped on to the chest.
His waist twisted with the flow, and his flail flew horizontally, hitting the Turkic soldiers on his right, hitting the enemy soldiers' chin. His chin was broken, and he sprayed a few teeth and hitting his right cheek. Like a mosquito bite, Wu Kang didn't care and attacked the next target.
The metal hit the right shoulder, and the scimitar cut the Mingguang Armor. He was in a state of mind and looked back and thought. He slashed the horizontal knife based on his feelings, cut the left rider's throat and smashed the front rider's scapula. His left cheek was slightly hot, his face was sprayed with blood, and his left eye was sour and uncomfortable.
I didn't have time to wipe blood, so I forced myself to be uncomfortable and continued to smash the enemy cavalry. Feeling the evil wind on the left, tilted my waist to the right, and smashed the right rider bone. The crisis on the left disappeared, and I glanced out of the corner of my eyes, and the bloody man Chu Shenke was in place.
The breath on the right side was also familiar, Lin Pinglang and Qian Shun, covered in blood and their eyes were red. The brothers finally followed, the crisis on the left and right disappeared, and there was no worries. Wu Kang was like a tiger. He drew his bows on the left and right, chopped and smashed them all the way.
Born to eat this bowl of rice, you don’t feel tired at all. The bloody battlefield is, the stronger the bloodthirsty desire. The bright blood armor on your body blocks countless swords, the white tassels on your helmet are dyed red like human-shaped weapons, which makes the enemy soldiers frightened. Gradually, I realized that there are fewer enemy cavalry in front of you, and have you been scared away?
Suddenly, he shouted, and the infantry phalanx reported military information. The general meaning was: Chu Mukun's defeat was decided, and the brothers gritted their teeth and persevered, and the victory was right in front of them. Wu Kang ignored it, and every time he waved his flail, he could take away his life.
I don't know how long it took, but it rushed out of the enemy's troops to block it. There was a large open land in front of me. Two miles ahead, there was a square formation of Turkic cavalry, and the big red robe was very eye-catching. Wu Kang rode his horse wildly, leaned over and hugged the horse's neck, and galloped straight to the red clothes.
The arrow flew past, and the sound of Xilulu broke his mouth even more crazy. As long as he rushed out of the rain of arrows and defeated Chumu Kunchu's personal guards, he could capture Lan Dulu alive. He kept cheering up in his heart. Come on, brother Doudeng, we two won the first achievement.
At this moment, Su Dingfang, the middle army in the rear, received the news and immediately climbed onto the horse's back. The black-clothed guard camp was like a sharp knife piercing the flesh of Mukun's skin and taking the place of his confidant. Chu Mukun's defeat was settled, and Old Su picked up his long beard with a relaxed and comfortable face.
Ren Yaxiang, who was on the same horse, looked at the general manager Su Dingfang, and was quite envious: "The bravery of the martial arts transformation is comparable to the evil of ancient times, and it is not inferior to Pei Shou's promise. The subordinate congratulates the general for accepting good disciples again, and the mantle can be passed on."
Su Dingfang smiled but said nothing. Pei Xingjian was a wise general, and martial arts were a powerful general. The two had their own strengths. If they could work together, they would definitely be invincible. Suddenly, their pupils shrank slightly, and when they saw a sharp knife inserted into the formation, Lan Dulu was running away, and immediately gave an order: the entire army attacked.
Wu Kang, who was fighting, felt his right shoulder was smashed and someone fell off a horse on his right side. It was the security guard Sun Youqi. His throat was inserted into crossbow arrows, his facial features were ferocious and twisted, and he was flooded by countless horse hooves. After a moment of shock, his eyes were immediately broken and he glared at the front of his right.
Dahongpao is a woman, quite heroic, holding an iron crossbow in her hand, dozens of guards around her. The damn smelly woman, Wu Kang, ran away again, smashing four Turkic soldiers in a row. She rushed out of the siege again and took Dahongpao with her crossbow. The sixth sense suddenly showed her warning, her head instinct was tilted left, and the powerful crossbow was rubbed against her ears.
The earlobes were cool, and the heart was filled with anger. The legs were slamming. The woman turned around and ran away. The guards came to block the enemy and collided with Shengshi Security. For a moment, the man was overturned and the charge was forced to stop. Chu Shenke guarded with a knife, worked with Lin Pinglang to protect the boss in the center.
In Wu Kang's mind, at this moment, there was only Dahongpao, who decisively threw away the horizontal knife, put away the iron rod of the flail. He took the feather arrow and bit his mouth, took off the strong bow of the horse's back, left the stirrup with his feet, and climbed onto the horse's back and stood upright. The feather arrow put the bow on it, pulled it into a full moon, held his breath and focused, and looked directly at the red shadow.
The sound of a broken mouth, the long arrow shot, and the red shadows were everywhere outside a hundred steps, and the horse was directly caught by an arrow and fell off the horse. After rolling for more than ten times, he quickly stopped moving and lay on the ground and his life and death were unknown. The sense of crisis attacked again, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, the arrow shot into the chestplate, making sharp friction.
Wu Kang quickly bowed, stepped on the saddle again, pulled the flail to cooperate with the security guard, and ate the Turkic soldiers in front of him. Then he rode his horse and rushed towards the woman, surrounding her. Only then did he realize that Chumukun had fled and the Tang army was chasing him.
The spears stabbed the spears, the bows and cavalry threw feather arrows, the swords and cavalry chopped the big swords and slashed them to the fullest. Qian Shun jumped off the horse, reached out to her breath, pulled out the arrows, and came over with the woman. It should be a character. Since he was not dead, take it back to the military camp.
She was left on the horse's back and wanted to continue chasing. After hearing the harsh gong, Tang Jun yelled Jin to withdraw his troops. He secretly complained that it was a pity that he could only turn the horse's head and bring people back to the formation. After seeing Su Dingfang, the prisoners were handed over to him and set up camp with the security guards. After lined up to have dinner, he returned to the barracks, removed his armor and asked about the casualties.
The tent fell silent for a moment, Qian Shun was struggling for a few breaths and sighed and replied: "Eight people were killed, twelve people were slightly injured, and ten people were seriously injured. A total of three hundred brothers, one charge was lost by 10%. The subordinates thought that this would not be the case in the future, so we would not have any soldiers to supplement them."
Wu Kang was stunned for a long time. He was the officer who trained them at the beginning, and it was a pity to charge. Now I have no official position and have no ability to replenish them. I must use it with caution.
Thinking of this, he sighed and glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "Don't be too sad. You are eating this bowl of rice, eating food when you are a soldier, and licking blood from a knife. After experiencing the fight just now, the brothers are tired, so let's rest."
The security guards promised to go back to their beds, either in a daze or sleep. Chu Shenke entered the tent, poured hot water to wash his hands, sat next to Wu Kang, and took out a small wine bag: "I borrowed some alcohol from the wounded barracks. The boss will hold it a little and treat your wounds."
Wu Kang nodded lightly, his head tilted to the left, and raised his right cheek. Chu Shenke stretched out his fingers, took off the black scabs of the earlobe, and blocked the wine bag. When the alcohol soaked the cloth, he whispered and complained, "It's just an inch away, your life will be gone, and we have to be buried with you. Good luck, consider it for the brothers, don't charge in the battle."
He was nagging, after cleaning the wound, applying golden sore medicine. Wu Kang pondered for a moment and said the central method of the heart: "Thousands of troops and horses are in a duel, and personal courage is really useless. I will become a handsome man, so don't worry, as long as Lao Su doesn't assign, I won't volunteer."
Chu Shenke almost burst into tears, ignored Qian Shun's mockery, and said seriously: "Don't mock me. Looking at the whole world, I'm only afraid of Queen Wu. Hey, don't laugh, you are not afraid of her, because you don't understand her. Look at our boss, you are also afraid of death. If the queen asks him to go east, he dare not go west."
The sneer was even more intense. Wu Kang rolled his eyes. Old Chu was not kind and always made fun of me. He coughed and covered up his embarrassment. He glanced at everyone and scolded him: "Are you tired after fighting for so long? Take the time to rest. Not long after, the army will set off and continue to fight to the west."
After saying that, he got into the quilt, covered his head, and laughed into a crazy laugh. These turtle grandsons should be slack. The body touched the floor, and the heartstrings began to relax, and sleepiness followed. They couldn't help but yawn, wiped away the tears in the corners of their eyes, and poked their heads to sleep.
I slept until noon the next day, and opened my eyes in a daze and put on a thick cotton coat. There was food on the wooden couch, and the cold mutton was grabbed in my hands and gnawed. The barracks were empty, and everyone else went to practice, and only money was served. He came over to report: "Half an hour ago, General Su came, and I asked me to give this to you."
The old thread-bound book has an empty cover. I opened it and looked at it for a few times. I was so happy that it was a military book. Lao Su was very interested. I felt it was a clutch and searched quickly. It was a brand new envelope with the word Turkic. It was a bit interesting. Put the military book next to the pillow and took out the letter paper to read it.
The fresh ink fragrance should have just been written, and it is information about the Western Turks: In March of the ninth year of Zhenguan, the Western Turks were divided into ten divisions, each division was led by one person, and the title was called Ten Divisions. Each division was given one arrow, also known as Ten Divisions, and ten arrows were divided into the left and right wings, and each division had one arrow.
The left wing is called Wudulu, and five big sips are placed, one sip is a pipe and an arrow. The nomadic area is east of Suyechuan, and it should be in Kyrgyzstan, the northern foot of the Kyrgyz Mountains, and the vast Chu River grassland. There are five major tribes: Chumukunlu, Huluwuque, Xiusheti's tribe, Tuqi Shihelushi's tribe, and Shunishi's tribe.
The right wing is called the Five Crossbow Arrows, and five major qians are placed, one qian is controlled by one arrow. The nomadic area is in the west of Shuyechuan, and there are five major tribes: Axi Jieque tribe, Axi Jiemi tribe, Geshuque tribe, Geshu half of Geshu, and Corspass cadres.
In the second year of Yonghui, the leader Ashina Helu rebelled against Tang and led his tribe to the west, calling himself Nifushabolu Khan, commanding Wunushibi and Wudulu. He was just a nominal commander, and the top ten tribes did not obey him. The left and right wings fought against each other for many years, and Helu could not handle it at all.
The second half of the information introduces the intelligence of each tribe, including the number of population and soldiers, the number of livestock and war horses, and the filth between each other. Wu Kang is very puzzled. These are military secrets, why did Lao Su tell me?
A few minutes later, when he thought of that possibility, he gradually smiled. It seemed that yesterday's battle had caught Lao Su's eye and told me about the confidential information. He wanted me to participate in the decision-making. If this was the case, it would be better and he would have made even more contributions. After returning to the court, he was promoted to Qianniu's prep and patrolled the palace with a knife.
While dreaming, I heard the sound of dry cough, folded the documents and looked up. Qian Shun was a little confused and laughed awkwardly for a moment and said, "When General Su delivered the book, he asked you to wake up and go to the Central Army to see him. When he saw you were tired, he was embarrassed to remind him."
This bastard, Wu Kang glared at him a few times, got up and wore cowhides. He hurried to the central army tent, and saw his mentor Su Dingfang, and respectfully bowed. Old Sula sat down, took out an envelope in his arms, handed it over with a smile, and signaled him to open it.
I felt helpless, just say something and what to do if I have. After reading it quickly, I was confused and recommended the General of the Youtun Guard to be a military officer. He was a military officer under the eighth rank, and was in charge of various animals and war horses.
The Ministry of Personnel will not refute the general's recommendation, which can be said to be a foregone conclusion. However, it was useless. Wu Kang sincerely thanked him and said the truth: "The students will let down the good intentions of his mentor, and his sister has already arranged it. When the class returned to the court, he will enter the left and right offices and serve as a pre-held or Qianniu pre-held."
Su Dingfang didn't care and laughed: "That's okay. With this recommendation letter, you can be a preparatory person for Qianniu. In this battle, Chu Mukun was defeated and killed more than 20,000 enemies. Lazy Duluchu sent an envoy to surrender. But there is a condition to send his wife back, which is the woman you captured."
Chu Mukun surrendered, as expected, they suffered too many casualties. The captured woman in red was actually Lazy Duluchu's wife, and she was wearing cow dung with flowers. Wu Kang jokingly said in confusion: "Then send it back, don't discuss it with me, just make the decision. But I suggest that after Chu Mukun surrender, he should take some material appropriately to appease their tribe."
Su Dingfang had this intention and immediately laughed and said, "The idea of changing is coincident with me, and Xue Rengui has already prepared it. The comforting department of Mukun's tribe is equivalent to stabilizing the rear. Before defeating He Lu, this tribe must be guaranteed to surrender."
Returning to the question just now, Su Dingfang smiled slightly: "There is a custom for the Turks to capture the other party's wife and daughter, and the captives sent them back in person to express their sincerity to reconcile. So I worked hard to change it and led a thousand elite cavalry to escort her to Mukun."
This is fine, Wu Kang patted his chest and promised that he would soon have doubts again. He blinked and said, "If that's all, the teacher can send someone to inform you, and there is no need to call the student. There is anything else, just give it a command. One day, you will be a teacher for life and a father, and the student will definitely obey."
Su Dingfang gradually showed kindness and smiled with his long beard in his hand: "I will be a teacher for one day and be a father for life. This is a good thing, just have this kind of heart. Let's get back to the point. Lazy Dulu's wife has just woken up, but she doesn't cooperate with the military doctor. She said she was your captive, but she just obeyed your arrangements, and understand the meaning?"
Women are very troublesome, and Turkic women are even more troublesome. Wu Kang said helplessly: "My mentor means to ask the students to heal him and then send her home. However, the students are puzzled. She was shot in the back. How do you know that the captives have eyes on the back?"
Su Dingfang spread his hands, picked up the arrow on the table, and handed it to Wu Kang. His tone was quite serious: "You can't take it lightly. You'll surrender to Mukun's army, which is related to the overall situation. She was in the middle army's rear tent, and the alcohol and needlework were ready, so go and deal with it immediately."
Wu Kang received the order arrow, saluted respectfully again, and followed his personal soldiers out. The woman was lucky. I didn't use dirty arrows, and I hadn't soaked in feces. It greatly reduced bacterial infection, disinfected with alcohol, and stitched it directly.
I soon arrived at the back account, took the guard pallet, put the curtain into the tent. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of me, subconsciously turned my head, and UFOs crossed my face. Looking at the pillow on the ground, I had no choice but to roll my eyes and even throw things away. I should be able to save me.
He bent down to pick up the pillow, stepped into the camp, came to the floor, put down the tray in his hand. He put his right arm into her neck, gently lifted his head, stuffed the pillow in, and then gently put it down. Looking at the bandage on his shoulder, he smacked his lips and joked: "Don't get angry if you suffer such a serious injury, beware of the wound breaking."
The woman let go of her lips and lightly nodded her head, looking well-behaved. She was a shrew just now, but now she is relying on others and changing her face quickly. She was too lazy to pay attention to her, took the dagger on her boots, and stretched her skin sheath to her mouth, and said lightly: "It will hurt a lot later. If you don't want to bite your tongue, just bite it tightly."
He nodded obediently again, opened his red lips and held it in his mouth, and blinked. He looked very well-behaved, and continued to keep it. Wu Kang untied her clothes, revealing more than a few wounds. He first cleaned it with alcohol, then threaded a needle and smiled warmly: "I'm going to start, you endure the pain, bite the skin sheath and don't let go."
The left hand closed the wound and the crochet passed quickly. The woman was tight. Wu Kang screamed strangely, staring and shouting: "Stinky girls, please let go, let go, let me bite my hood, what are you doing? Let me give you a mouth full of pain, do you want to hurt me?"
The woman ignored her and bit her harder, her eyes closed. This is avenge for a single arrow, and you will be completely resigned. You will ignore it now and continue to suture the wound. After the suture is finished, alcohol will clean the sewage marks, and wait for her to let go of her mouth.
The bloody teeth marks were so depressed. I hugged her and turned over, carefully cut the clothes, and the alcohol moistened the bandage. I threaded the needle again, and said with a strange smile: "Women born in the Year of the Dog, you lie down this time and see how you bite it. You are ready. I'm going to get the needle, be careful to be hurt to death."
The needle and thread passed through the flesh, and the woman's shoulders shook violently, and Wu Kang yelled again. This stinky girl lay on his thighs and bit her through her pants. She secretly complained that she was unlucky and continued to sew on her pain. After she finished, she hugged her and turned over and said lightly: "I put on my own clothes and I will send you back to Mukun. When I cut down Ashinahelu, I will remove the stitches for you."
Cover her with a quilt, packed her things and left, and suddenly heard the sob behind her. He hesitated for a moment, but turned around helplessly. The woman was crying with the rain, and her chest was undulating violently. It was so inexplicable. She didn't cry when she was sewing, so why did she cry now?
Put down the tray in his hand, squatted beside her, and said sarcastically: "I said stop crying, dare to kill people on the battlefield, afraid of mere pain? Look at my ears, you shot it. And my hand, I was bitten out of my watch, I should cry."
Crying still, tears flowing like a spring, and it seems that true love is revealed. Wu Kang put away his smile, took a white cloth from his bag, wiped her tears, and said helplessly: "Do you think of sad things? If you don't mind, just talk to me. We will never see you again, I will keep the secret for you."
For half a quarter of an hour, the crying finally stopped, and the man finally spoke: "Our grassland is full of animal traps, hunting and killing wolves and wild boars. I remember when I was a child, I went outside to shed sheep and stepped on the animal trap. The left leg was pinched, which really hurts. It hurts so much that I cried."
When I stepped on the trap, it would be strange if the girl was a few years old. I didn't cry to death. I continued to cry and continued to tell: "My father found me, Kong Wu was strong and broke open the trap. That was it at that time. I bit his arm and bit it bloodily. He didn't even get a hole. After opening the clip, he wiped my tears like you."
So that's it, it's understandable that the scene was so sad. The woman held back her tears and began to get excited: "My family loves me very much. Lu Lu Ge gave me five hundred sheep as a betrothal gift. He should have lived happily. But half a year ago, He Lu attacked our army, kidnapped my mother, and my women, as well as my army's women."
Another sad story, the attack conflict between grassland tribes is even more bloody, and women are the spoils. The grassland is sparsely populated, and Tribe A conquers Tribe B, and will abduct B's woman and breed the population for his own tribe.
She hated her even more and almost gritted her teeth: "The abducted woman was distributed to Chumukun's tribe and was humiliated. My mother could not bear the torture and took me away, but was caught by Chumukun. They beat her to death, and Lan Duluchuo fell in love with me and forced me to be his woman."
The story ended here, Wu Kang felt a little touched, and warmly comforted him: "You are lucky, Lazy Duluchuo is very nice to you. He surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, and the condition is to send you back. Don't be sad anymore. The past is unbearable to look back on, and life has to continue. Pack your luggage and send you back to Mukun in half an hour..."
After his words came to an abrupt end, Wu Kang suddenly got up and his brain started to work quickly. After about five minutes, he had a bad idea and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...
Chapter completed!
