The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 65 Chapter 65
The general soldier Wu led the soldier and walked straight to the pass. When he came to the pass, the general soldier Wu stepped forward quickly and shouted to the crowd: "That is Mr. Chai Shaochai? Mr. Wu Been waiting here for a long time."

After hearing this, Chai Shao took two steps and said with a smile: "Lord General Soldier, I am Chai Shao. This time, I was ordered to do business with the Turks, and I have to pass through this pass. Therefore, I am here to pay a visit to Lord General Soldier Wu."

After finishing speaking, Chai Shao gave Zongbing Wu a deep salute.

When Mr. Wu saw it, he quickly returned it with courtesy.

"Young Master Chai, there is no need to be too polite. I also received a letter written by the left-behind envoy more than ten days ago, which introduced that Young Master Chai is going to leave this business, and asked me to take care of you here.

Mr. Chai, are you a servant?Or use troops?As long as you say it, the young general is willing to obey your orders. "

Chai Shao shook his head with a smile.

"Master Chief Soldier, we don't need anything now. We just ask you to let us go quickly when we pass the customs."

Wu Zongbing listened and nodded.

"It's hard to say? The border of more than 100 miles is under my jurisdiction. If any pass dares to deliberately make things difficult for you, if I find out, it will be punished."

General Wu sternly called over all the officers and soldiers guarding the pass.

"You all look after me. This caravan is under the personal care of our Taiyuan left-behind envoy. The left-behind envoy has written a letter to me personally, asking me to take care of this caravan. See you later. When it comes to this caravan, you have to let it go quickly. If anyone deliberately makes things difficult, once you let me know, don't blame me for being ruthless!

Did you all hear me clearly? "

The officers and soldiers guarding this pass were shocked when they heard this.My heart said: My God, fortunately we didn't make things difficult just now, no, today must be bad luck.

Everyone knows that General Wu is extremely strict in running the army, and he has always been strict with his subordinates, and he has always said what he says.

After hearing this, everyone replied in unison: "Lord Chief Soldier, don't worry, we have remembered your instructions. If this caravan passes by here in the future, we will let it go quickly."

Wu Zongbing listened and nodded.

"Well, it's good to hear clearly. This is an order from the superior, and it is also the meaning of the superior. We have to strictly implement it.

If you offend your superiors, at least you will lose your official position for investigation, and at worst you will lose your life. I won't say how serious it is, but you must know it too. "

Chai Shao smiled and walked over.

"Mr. Wu, let me introduce two friends to you."

Mr. Wu laughed and said, "Okay! Mr. Chai, who are you introducing to me?"

Chai Shao listened and said with a smile: "These two are my two good friends, these two martial arts are superb, they are extremely warm-hearted, they are two extremely hard-to-find generals, maybe you will use them in the future. "

Chai Shaoniu turned around and said to Duan Wuji: "Brother, come here. Let me introduce you to a friend. You should come here first to get to know him."

Duan Wuji immediately ran over after hearing this.

"Brother Chai, who are you introducing to me?"

Chai Shao took Duan Wuji and walked two steps to the front of Wu Zongbing and said: "Wu Zongbing, this is one of the good friends I want to introduce to you. His name is Duan Wuji. He is very forthright and a lovely man. Friends of the generation.

Wuji, this general is the commander-in-chief who guards the northern border of our Shanxi Province, Mr. Wu, let's get to know each other. "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji immediately took two steps, and then saluted Wu Zongbing with his hands clasped together.

"Lord Chief Soldier, Xiaomin Duan Wuji, please refer to Lord Chief Soldier, Lord Chief Soldier, how about one item recently?"

When Wu Zongbing saw it, he quickly returned the gift.

"My dear brother, you don't need to be too polite. It is fate that you and I know each other. My dear brother, I heard Mr. Chai say that your martial arts are very good. Is it true?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Master Chief Soldier, the younger one is only good at fists and feet, and his martial arts are too good to be called, especially good? That's a bit exaggerated."

Wu Zongbing smiled slightly.

"You don't have to be polite, brother, don't we know if we have time to practice?"

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Okay, let's learn from each other when we have time. Duan Wuji is also a martial arts fanatic, and I also like this martial arts."

At this moment, the Tie Niu led the tavern guy and came over carrying two barrels of wine.Duan Wuji paid for the wine, and then ordered someone to carry the wine to the soldiers guarding the border.

Seeing this, President Wu sneered and said, "You are begging for drinks from this passing merchant again. Don't you know that this is against the laws of our Great Sui Dynasty? Who asked for it? Stand up for me."

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Lord Chief Soldier, none of the soldiers asked for wine. I am the soldier guarding the border and it is extremely cold, so I specially bought them two barrels of wine to chase the cold."

The soldiers guarding the gate were relieved after hearing this.

Xin said: This person is really kind, I didn't expect to take care of this matter, what a kind person!

What doesn't Zongbing Wu understand?Immediately, he went down the donkey and said: "Well, since it was rewarded by Brother Wuji, then it's nothing to do with you.

Take this wine back to the barracks, pay it back, I want to tell you that you are not allowed to drink without permission during on-duty time. "

The officers and soldiers guarding the gate said in unison: "Your Excellency, you don't need to tell us, we all know about this."

"Well, it's good to know."

Chai Shao waved at Tieniu.

"Brother Tieniu, come here, let me introduce you to a friend."

Tie Niu walked over with a smile.

"Brother Chai, who do you introduce me to?"

Chai Shao dragged Tieniu to Zongbing Wu.

"Wu Zongbing, this is the second friend I want to introduce to you, his name is Duan Tieniu, he is the brother of the one I introduced to you just now, this is the elder brother, and the one I introduced just now is the brother.

Tieniu, this is Zongbing Wu, the commander-in-chief of our Shanxi frontier pass, do you know each other? "

After hearing this, Tieniu took two steps away, and clasped his fist at Zongbing Wu.

"Xiaomin Duan Tieniu has met Mr. Zong Bing, Mr. Wu Zong Bing, how have you been recently?"

When Wu Zongbing saw it, he immediately clasped his fists and returned it.

"Brother Tieniu, don't be too polite.

Hey, brother Tieniu, you or that brother Wuji just now, who is more powerful in martial arts? "

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"Of course my brother is better than me. Most of my kung fu is learned from my brother. How can my kung fu surpass him?"

Wu Zongbing listened and nodded.

"Really? It seems that people can't be judged by their appearance, and sea water can't be measured! I didn't expect my younger brother's martial arts to surpass my elder brother. I really didn't expect it!"

Tie Niu laughed and said: "Although I am an elder brother, my brother practiced martial arts more than a year earlier than me, and he taught me this kung fu.

Besides, my brother is smarter than me, we brothers, we all follow his orders.He is our leader. "

"Is it!"

General Wu turned his head and said to everyone: "Everyone, you have all seen clearly. This Duan Wuji and Tieniu are my new friends and two new brothers. Whoever dares to make things difficult for them is to follow me!" The one surnamed Wu can't make it through, did you all hear clearly?"

"My lord, we all understand."

Duan Wuji stepped forward, grabbed Wu Zongbing's hand and said: "Wu Zongbing, Brother Ang, do you know that there are large settlements of Turkic people nearby?"

Zongbing Wu thought for a while and said: "Well, these Turkic people live by grazing and living by water and grass. They didn't have any fixed settlements before. How can they live? As far as I know, in our Guanbei and Kanbei There are two large Turkic settlements, and each settlement has tens of thousands of Turkic people.

These two settlements are the closest to our place, and each settlement is more than 300 miles away. If you travel day and night, you can reach them in less than two days. "

Duan Wuji looked at Chai Shao with a smile.

"Brother Chai, do you think we should go to that residential area first?"

Chai Shao thought for a while and said, "I think we should go to the residential area in the northeast this time. If the business doesn't work, let's go to the residential area in the north. Brother, do you think this is good?"

Duan Wuji smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's make a decision like this."

In a short time, the officers and soldiers guarding the customs completed the inspection of the goods.

"Reporting to Mr. General Soldier, there is no difference between the quantity of this cargo and what they reported. Everything has been inspected and can now be released."

Wu Zongbing listened and nodded.

"Okay, let's go now. Mr. Chai, Brother Wuji, Brother Tieniu, I wish you all the best. Let's meet again in a few days."

The three of Chai and Shao bowed their hands to Zongbing Wu.

"Lord Chief Soldier, we will meet later, let's talk again when we come back."

The three got on their horses, and a group of people led eight carriages and walked straight to the northeast.

In a short time, the caravan left the pass, headed towards the northeast in a hurry against the snow all over the sky.

There was not even a single person along the way, the howling north wind was blowing, and the flying snow all over the sky made life painful.

The group of people endured the extreme cold and rushed all the way, which can be described as extremely hard work.When they were hungry, they took a few mouthfuls of cold dry food, and when they drank, they grabbed handfuls of snow from the snow to eat.After two days and one night of rushing, people finally saw one or two scattered tents when the sun was in the west.

Duan Wuji smiled and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, work harder! We have to rush to this residential area before dark, so that everyone can find a place to rest."

Everyone cheered up when they heard this, the owner of the car frantically whipped the horse and drove the animals vigorously. After more than an hour of rapid progress, when the sun was about to set, people finally saw a dark mass of mountains in front of them. tent.

Duan Wuji shouted excitedly: "Thank God, we finally arrived.

Let's hurry up, everyone. This residential area is at most three to five miles away from our place. When we get to that place, let's find a place to live. We can do business tomorrow! "

When everyone saw that there was indeed a group of tents in front of them, they immediately rushed towards the tents with vigor.
