Chapter 6 Borrowing Soldiers to Turk [Repayment of Debt Chapter 9]
As night fell, the daytime feast came to an end, and everyone returned to their own tents drunk. Rangan had already wanted to rest, but his eldest son Duji walked into Rangan's tent. He knelt down in front of his father Khan and said, "How can the Turkic soldiers be handed over to the commander of the Sui general? My son is willing to be the deputy commander, commanding 20,000 cavalry to Khitan."
Duji had his own mind. This time he attacked the Khitan, 10,000 of the 20,000 cavalry soldiers his father Khan was about to send, and Duji stared at the 10,000 guards. These were the most elite cavalry of the Turks, all of which were warriors selected from the various Turkic tribes. Duji wanted to take the opportunity to occupy this ten thousand troops as his own. If Father Khan died, even if he succeeded as Khan, the ten thousand guards might not fall into his hands.
Now that Father Khan has been drinking halfway through, he may not be able to understand his thoughts, Duji wants to take this opportunity to convince Father Khan to agree.
Although Rangan was half drunk, he did not forget some of the most basic principles. He waved his hand and smiled, "You are Ye Hu, how can you stay under the Sui general? You can't go. If you annoy Yang Yuanqing, you can't beat him, and instead shave your prestige."
Rangan still remembers that two years ago, Duji and Shi Shuhu were secretly killed by Yang Yuanqing. He knew that his son had a bad relationship with Yang Yuanqing. He didn't want to cause trouble in this matter anymore, so he stopped giving Duji a chance and said decisively: "You go back and rest! Don't talk about this matter again."
Duji had no choice but to slowly retreat. Rangan looked up at the tent and thought for a while. He wanted to find a suitable person to command his guards, and at the same time cooperated with Yang Yuanqing to complete the task. Finally, he thought of someone and ordered him to say, "Go and find Wutu for me!"
Duji returned to his tent. Although his father Khan refused his request for accompanying him, he was not willing to let it go. He always felt that there should be a way. Among the Guards, he had a confidant general. Even if he had less than 10,000 Guards, he could at least get a rich spoil from the Khitan.
"Tuan Zhua Ruda!" Duji ordered.
As soon as he returned to the tent, one of his personal soldiers hurried over and whispered in his ear. Duji knew that he would turn over and get off the horse and walk towards another tent.
Duji walked into the tent and a fat middle-aged man with medium figure quickly stood up and saluted him, "See Your Highness Ye Hu!"
Speaking skillfully Turkic, Duji nodded with a smile, "When did Manager Wang arrive?"
"Report to Your Highness, I just arrived this afternoon and brought a lot of new goods. This is a list of goods. Please check it out.
Duji looked at the list and frowned, "Where is the pig iron I want? Why don't there?"
"Report to Your Highness, something happened in the capital. Pig Iron is now investigating tightly. You dare not act rashly. Mr. Yuwen said that you will deliver the goods after the show."
"How long will it take to be the limelight?" Duji said a little unhappy.
"It's going to take a few months or half a year!"
Duji pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "I can wait for a few months or half a year, but I need 100,000 kilograms of pig iron at a time."
The middle-aged man was shocked, "Your Highness, this is too much! In the past, it was just given away 20,000 pounds."
Duji shook his head, "I really need it urgently, let's do it! If I give 100,000 kilograms at a time, the price will double again, and I will pay with gold."
The middle-aged man thought about it and said that the risk was very high. The key was how Mr. Yuwen made the decision. He did not dare to agree. He bowed and said, "I can't make the decision when the position is low. I will go back and discuss with Mr. Yuwen. It will take the decision to do it. Moreover, there is not so much inventory in the warehouse in Mayi County, so we still need to transfer goods from all over the place."
"I know I believe Mr. Yuwen will be happy to do this good deal."
Duji is very confident. The price he paid is equivalent to ten times the price of Zhongyuan pig iron. With Yu Culture and his greed, how can he resist the temptation of ten times huge profits?
Duji came out of the tent. At this time, his confidant Aruda had been waiting for a long time. Aruda was one of the five ten thousand men under Duji. He was brave and good at fighting and was deeply trusted by Duji. Now he serves as the Left Killing General in the Khan Guards, commanding three thousand-man teams.
Seeing Duji walk forward, Aruda hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See Ye Hu!"
Duji nodded, "Come to my tent, I have something to tell you."
The grand banquet did not last for three days. Two days later, Yang Yuanqing led 10,000 Turkic cavalry to the east and rushed towards the Khitan territory.
Rangan handed over 20,000 cavalry to Yang Yuanqing, one of which was Rangan's Guards and Rangan's extremely elite army. It was led by Yang Yuanqing's old friend, Turkish prince-consort Wutu, and obeyed Yang Yuanqing's command. The other army came from a Turkic tribe near the Khitan, called the Mengwu tribe. This tribe often deals with the Khitans and is very suitable for this mission.
Eight days after the march, the team had left the Turkic tent nearly twenty miles away. On the morning of that day, the army arrived at the Mengwu tribe located in the middle of the Kruren River.
The Mengwu tribe was a large part of the Turkic tribes, with nearly 100,000 tribes, and could form an army of 30,000 people. Wutu showed the chief of the Mengwu, the golden arrows and bamboo tube orders of the Qimin Khan, and asked the Mengwu tribe to send 10,000 cavalry to accept the commander of the commander Yang Yuanqing.
The chief of the Mongwu was named Wanda. Like other Turkic tribes, he also acted with profit. Khan's golden arrows and bamboo tube orders were the same, and more importantly, it was profitable. Without Khan's orders, they would not dare to send troops to attack the Khitan. They were also afraid of the revenge of the Khitan, but since the Turkic tent was behind them to support them, they would send troops without any scruples.
He sent 10,000 troops to Yang Yuanqing, who began to rectify and train the 10,000 Mongolian army. To be precise, this was not 10,000 cavalry, but 10,000 herdsmen, backward equipment, wearing rough leather armor, holding homemade spears and knives, and their discipline was scattered.
Yang Yuanqing did not accept the commander and commander of the Mengwu tribe, but only accepted the commander. The commander and commander of the Qianwu tribe need to be appointed by himself as compensation for the Mengwu tribe. He promised to distribute the 30,000 sheep from the spoils of the Sui army. After answering the answer, the chief happily agreed to Yang Yuanqing's exchange conditions.
Yang Guang had two purposes in the mission assigned to Yang Yuanqing this time. One was to teach the Khitan clowns a lesson and leave them a bloody memory. The second was to try to use the Turks to become mercenaries of the Sui Dynasty and use the grassland people to deal with the grassland people. This method was not to throw a task to the Turks, but to complete it by the Turks. Instead, it must be led by the Sui future, so that the Turks must absolutely obey the command of the Sui generals.
From the perspective of pure military operations, there is no need for Yang Yuanqing to reorganize the army. The Turks had a strict military system, with ten, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousand people, each with military leaders. As long as he could control two ten thousand commanders, he could control the entire army.
But Yang Yuanqing had his own ideas. The reason why he went to Qi County to borrow Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin was that his purpose was to win over them through this war and wait for them to use for their own purposes one day. Since he took them to the battle, he would give them the opportunity to lead the army to battle.
In the big tent, Yang Yuanqing was explaining his plan to reorganize the troops to everyone.
"These ten thousand Turkic Mongol cavalry disciplines are scattered, and they are basically herdsmen. I need to spend ten days to train them intensified training. This task is for you. From now on, you are the commanders of the Turks. You can simply train them in the Sui army. The key is to follow the orders. Our battle against the Khitans is likely to be at night, so we also need to train their ability to fight at night."
Yang Yuanqing glanced at Qin Qiong and saw that he seemed to have something to say. He smiled and said, "If any suggestions are required by Commander Qin Qiang, please speak out."
Everyone laughed. The title of Prison Qin Qianfu was really interesting. Qin Qiong stood up and bowed to Yang Yuanqing, "I have two suggestions from Huye to report to the general!"
Yang Yuanqing smiled and nodded. This was the effect he wanted to see. Everyone called him a general and called himself a humble position. In this way, Qin Qiong and others became his generals. They had this mark in their hearts. No matter where they were, as long as there was chaos in the world, they would automatically surrender to themselves, instead of surrendering to Wagangzhai or Wang Shichong. This was an extremely important sense of belonging. Yang Yuanqing also felt a little regretful in his heart. He should have brought Shan Xiongxin together.
"Please say, General Qin!"
Qin Qiong pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, I am worried about whether the night battle methods and some military means of our Sui army, such as listening to drums and identifying flags, such as some basic fighting techniques, will be leaked to the Turks."
Yang Yuanqing laughed, "It was the first time that General Qin had dealt with the Turks. It is understandable to have this worry, but I want to tell you that the Turks had known about the military methods you mentioned for a long time. It is easy to know these. You can learn from some captured Sui troops. Moreover, when Qimin was defeated and retreated to Mayi County, the late emperor sent the Sui army to train them. Qimin Khan may know more clearly than me. You don't have to worry about this, even if you train them with normal methods."
Qin Qiong's face turned red. It was indeed easy for the Turkic people to know about these things. He was thinking too much. He bowed and said, "The second question for low-level jobs is how to communicate in language. Turkic soldiers speak Turkic and do not know Chinese. We do not understand Turkic. Training is difficult.
Not only was Qin Qiong worried, but the others also whispered. Pei Xingyan also said: "General, this is indeed a problem and we cannot communicate."
Yang Yuanqing had thought of it, and pointed at his eight personal soldiers and smiled: "All my eight personal soldiers can speak Turkic language. They don't know how to communicate simply. But there is no problem with simple communication. They will follow you each and help you communicate with the Turks as your subordinate general."
Yang Yuanqing thought very carefully. In addition to Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin, he also had his six Iron Guards. Among the Iron Guards, Yang Dalang and Yang Balang could speak a few Turkic words without translation. Each of the other eight people happened to be given one of their own personal soldiers, and the rest followed him.
Among these people, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin had no problem. Pei Xingyan had been a left guard for a year and could barely train Turkic soldiers. The only thing he was worried about was Luo Shixin. The young man was only twelve years old. Although he was very skilled in martial arts, he might not be able to suppress the Turkic people, and he might not be able to understand the training method of the army.
Yang Yuanqing walked up to Luo Shixin, patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Or you can follow me!"
Luo Shixin shook his head, "The general underestimated me. My father is a military officer. I have been in the army since I was a child. I started to participate in county military training last year. I have no problem."
Yang Yuanqing turned around and thought to Qin Qiong, and Qin Qiong nodded, meaning that Luo Shixin had no problem.
This is the best, Yang Yuanqing smiled happily and said, "Okay! Then you are the one, Captain Luo Qianfu, don't let me down."
