Chapter 16 Yumen
Along the way, I met countless Turkic people, but most of them were in groups of several hundred.There was no reason why they should not fight when they met the enemy. Originally, they only walked for a few days, but Long Feiyu and the others walked all the way for half a month.

Le Jia, a well-trained soldier who had never been in battle, was trained by Long Feiyu abruptly.Problems that originally required a few charges to solve can now be solved with one charge.

Le Jia excitedly said to Long Feiyu: "My lord, why are you not afraid of those Turkic people?"

Long Feiyu smiled and said, "What? Are you afraid?"

Le Jia nodded and said: "I was afraid at first. Their soldiers and horses have already reached Chang'an. This is unique, but after several battles, I found that they are not invincible."

"Yes, human beings have weaknesses. The advantage of the Turks and us is that they are born to be immediate winners, but their shortcomings are also obvious. Can you see their shortcomings in fighting?"

Le Jia thought for a while and said: "They often fight on their own. A group of people charge collectively. If they can't take down the enemy, they will panic."

Long Feiyu nodded and said: "Yes, being able to discover this shows that you have matured. The difference between our Tang Dynasty and theirs is that although our army is poor in individual combat capabilities, it is a solid piece of iron when we are together. It is not a matter of one person, it is the result of the cooperation of many people. As long as you know how to cooperate with each other, no matter how powerful the enemy is, you don’t have to be afraid.”

Le Jia laughed a few times, but said nothing.The contact with Long Feiyu let him know this person's ability, and at the same time he accepted this officer from the bottom of his heart.

Every time in a war, as long as he misconducted the command and caused innocent soldiers to die, he would get very angry and scold himself.Then he seriously gave himself the method of war, some things he had never heard of, but according to Long Feiyu's method of use, he could often get unexpected results.

The guard of Yumen is quite depressed now. Originally, the lieutenant should be replaced by him when the main general died in battle, but now a new captain has been transferred from Chang'an.And this person has heard of it himself. Although he is a little disdainful of the legend that he defeated hundreds of thousands with three thousand, he still has a higher official position than himself.And there is still a chance of victory against the Turks, unlike myself since I came here during the Wude period and never knew what victory is.

Not far away, a neat group of cavalry came towards Yumen, and the guard hurriedly shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Pay attention to defending the city, the enemy army is coming."

With a cry, the soldiers stood up with terrified eyes. Since the main general died in battle, they have kept the city gate tightly closed, and even the merchants have to be careful when entering and leaving. After a long time, those merchants turned to Yangguan and left.

During the tense defense, a fast horse came galloping, holding a token in his hand and said: "Long Feiyu, the general of Yumen Gate, is here to serve, and quickly open the city gate."

While talking, the visitor also felt the arrival of the Turkic soldiers. Not far away, four or five hundred enemy troops chased and killed this group of caravans. When they arrived at the bottom of the city, they shouted to the people on the city: "My lords, open the city gate quickly!" We are the people of the Tang Dynasty."

On the city, the guard looked at the Turkic soldiers who were galloping not far away in a complicated way. They fought many times, but they were defeated. Now the guard and the Turkic people came at the same time. If you drive straight in, it will be a big crime to lose the pass.

Before he could think too much, Long Feiyu, who was in the distance, had already seen the situation clearly, and shouted to Le Jia who was beside him: "Order the soldiers to send 200 soldiers to the left and right flanks, and send the enemy's [-] soldiers to I cut it into three pieces, and the rest of the soldiers follow me to attack their central army, and they must defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

"Yes"

The messenger waved the flag in his hand, and the soldiers on the left and right wings suddenly rode their horses to meet the Turks.Seeing the enemy army approaching, those Turkic soldiers gave up attacking the caravan and turned to greet Long Feiyu and the others.

The two troops fought fiercely at Yumen Pass.The businessman watched this scene in astonishment. When one of the two sides fought, the Hun soldiers were divided into three parts, leaving only the Chinese army with more than 100 people in the middle.

Not far away, Long Feiyu and the others roared into the Chinese army. After the sprint of 500 people, there were only less than ten Turkic Chinese soldiers standing. The flag was changing, and the 500-man team was divided into two again. Team, surrounded the Turkic flanks.

The command system of the central army is paralyzed, and the soldiers on both wings are simply decorations.A few rushed down, and the team of not all 20 people hurriedly fled towards the depths of the grassland.

Gradually disappeared into the grassland, the soldier who was in charge of delivering the order just now was already under the tower at this time, seeing the end of the war, the guard said urgently: "Open the city gate quickly."

Seeing the city gate open, the businessman wisely stood aside and gave way to Long Feiyu.Long Feiyu walked to the city gate, jumped off his horse, looked at the leader of the caravan, and bowed deeply.

This scene made the businessman look at Long Feiyu in astonishment and asked at a loss: "What do you mean, General?"

It is no wonder that merchants were surprised. In ancient times, merchants had no status.Who dared to accept the great gift from the generals, the guard had already walked down from the tower at this time, and said with a smile on his face: "Master Long is here, and his subordinates are not able to respond well, I hope you will forgive me."

Long Feiyu ignored the guard, and instead said to the businessman, "You are all good citizens of the Tang Dynasty, and now you have suffered a terrible disaster from the Turks. As soldiers, it is our responsibility not to protect you well."

The strong man hastily returned the gift and said: "Your Excellency, you are welcome. We are low-status merchants, and we have to take risks in pursuit of money. Your Excellency is guarding the city. For the stability of the city, the city gate should not be opened."

Long Feiyu shook his head and said, "No, although businessmen are after profits, the Silk Road is a great way to exchange goods and needs with countries in the Western Regions. Those who go west to Yangguan are all heroes. Heroes with pioneering spirit are worth learning from our generation. .”

The burly man panicked and said, "Your Excellency has broken me."

Long Feiyu waved his hands and said, "Let's stop being polite here, let's talk about it after entering the customs."

The businessman clasped his hands and followed them into the city.After entering the customs, a huge persimmon tree near the city wall caught Long Feiyu's attention. At this time, the persimmon had already produced green fruits the size of walnuts.He said with a little doubt: "This tree is a bit old, right?"

The guard ran over hurriedly and said, "It's been more than 40 years, and it was brought here by the former Sui guard. Does your lord think it's an eyesore? If it's an eyesore, we'll push it down immediately."

Long Feiyu waved his hand and said: "No need, call all the soldiers to gather at the General Commander's Platform."

"Yes"

As soon as the guard left, Le Jia helped the merchants push their goods and walked in. While walking, some round objects fell off, and the merchants looked at them but ignored them.

Obviously not planning to take it anymore, Long Feiyu picked up one and looked at it carefully. The strong man beside him said: "This is a vegetable from the Western Regions. It can't be eaten after sprouting. We are planning to throw it away."

Long Feiyu suddenly smiled and said: "Why throw it away? This thing is edible and good, and it can be planted when it sprouts. You businessmen go west to the Western Regions not only to export silk and other things from our country, but also to focus on absorbing them. Things that are good for others, some things that we don’t have in the east, these should not be the responsibility of the envoys, you merchants go to a wider area than the envoys, so I don’t want you to understand that it’s just for profit?”

The strong man nodded in fear and said, "Your Excellency is right."

Long Feiyu came again: "For the spices you just pulled, can you give me some seeds of wild fennel? I plan to try planting them in Yumen?"

"Yes, of course, come and bring some spices that can be used as seeds for the adults."

Long Feiyu smiled and said: "When I come to this Yumen, I will not let the people of my Tang Dynasty be bullied, and you are a businessman of the Tang Dynasty, so you should take the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty as your own responsibility. Things, I hope you can all consciously introduce Dao Dao, understand?"

"Yes, my lord, the villain understands."

Long Feiyu patted the person on the shoulder and said: "Don't always be a villain, okay, you go, if you need anything, just ask, Le Jia picks up these onions, and will cultivate a piece of farmland later Used as a test."

"Yes"

Businessmen are businessmen after all, and Long Feiyu didn't intend to have too much interaction with them.Not far away, the guard had already assembled his troops. Looking at these large armies, this was the first time he could command an army independently in this world.

However, this army currently has a big problem. Since the death of the previous guard, their morale has become a problem.Seeing Turkic people has instinctive fear, and the first thing Long Feiyu needs to solve at this time is their morale problem.
