Chapter 46 Everything Is Ready

"A certain family has a house in the eleventh block of the third street east of Zhuquemen Street in the outer city of Chang'an, which is Jinchang Block. It covers an area of ​​more than eight acres and less than ten acres. It was originally the residence of a cousin of mine in the capital. Later, the cousin moved to Heyang, and the house became vacant.

The house belongs to Wannian County. It is adjacent to Tongshan Block in the south, Zhaoguo Block in the north, Daye Block in the west, and Xiuzheng Block in the east. It can't be said to be a secluded place, but it is a good place to find peace in the bustle.

Now, I reward you."

The stone in He's heart has been put down, and when he speaks again, he naturally reveals a condescending look.

Yun Chu smiled at this, came to the desk, spread out a piece of rice paper, and wrote a letter of apprenticeship.

He also used his own name and handprint on this letter of apprenticeship, and also noted the time.

He Yuanshan picked up the pen and wrote a big "No" on Yun Chu's letter of apprenticeship.

Then, he consciously wrote a residential transfer document, also wrote his name, used a seal, and signed the time.

After going through this set of procedures, the two smiled at each other, everything was self-explanatory, the embarrassing thing for the gentleman was done, and meeting again would be boring. Yun Chu put away his own documents and bowed to say goodbye. He Yizheng did not see him off, but ordered the boy to bring some wine, ready to drink happily.

Since Yun Chu's business with He Yizheng was over, he naturally returned to live with the hospitable Liu Yizheng.

Here, there was no difference in status between the two, and they got along peacefully.

The people at Laoshan shouted and the horses neighed unsteadily, and the Tang Dynasty soldiers did not attack Laoshan, but pretended to approach Laoshan a hundred steps every day.

At the beginning, there were feather arrows shot over, and then, on a moonlit night, some fierce Turks rode out of the mountain on horseback to raid the camp.

As a result, they were very brave, but their horses were very uncooperative. Seeing the enemy camp right in front of them, they suddenly turned a corner and headed straight for some ponds made by the Tang army.

When the horses came to the pond, no matter how the Turkish cavalry whipped the horses with whips, the horses only put their mouths into the pond and drank water crazily without raising their heads.

At this time, a group of Tang soldiers holding large shields slowly came over, blocked the feather arrows with their shields, and when they got close, they stabbed the Turks on horseback to death one by one with spears.

Gradually, there were no more cavalry raids at night, and no more feather arrows were shot at the slowly approaching military formations of the Tang army during the day.

Liang Jianfang did not achieve his military plan of besieging the city and attacking the reinforcements. In desperation, after besieging Laoshan for 19 days, he finally sent a team of government soldiers into Laoshan.

Among the team that entered Laoshan, He Yizheng, Liu Yizheng, and Yun Siyi were all in the line, but He Yizheng was wearing heavy armor, and there were more than a dozen fully armed heavy armored medicine boys protecting him.

Although Liu Yizheng did not wear heavy armor, and the medicine boy did not wear armor, the six sturdy medicine boys guarded him firmly in the middle, which seemed safe.

Only Yun Siyi rode in alone. He was wearing a set of light leather armor, a Tang sword on his waist, a quiver on his back, a short spear, a longbow hanging on the saddle, and a two-meter-long horse-war spear in his hand.

This outfit was no different from that of ordinary palace soldiers, and it was basically indistinguishable among the palace soldiers.

Laoshan had become a stinky mountain. Yun Chu was very familiar with this stench, which was the stench of corpses produced by the fermentation of corpses in the sun.

Therefore, when he smelled this stench, he immediately wrapped his face tightly to prevent his skin from being exposed to the stench.

The scene in the mountain was really miserable, with the bodies of women and children lying in a mess in the rock pit.

A closer look revealed that these people were not killed by thirst, but by others.

There were not only human bodies in the rock pit, but also more livestock bodies. Many war horses with beautiful fur were swollen by the sun. A bored soldier threw a stone, and the horse's stomach exploded. The rotten internal organs flew everywhere, making the already bad air in Laoshan even worse.

After being exposed to the sun for 19 days, no one survived on Laoshan, but Zhu Xie, the chief of the Chuyue tribe with a big hooked nose, survived.

Not only did he survive, when Yun Chu saw him, he was lying in a stone pit and taking a bath.

The water he used for bathing was already turbid, and too much blood flowed into his bathtub, making the water smell disgusting.

He didn't seem to care much, and was still bathing himself seriously in the pool. He looked so serious, as if this was his last bath in his life.

The reason why Yun Chu thought that this man was Zhu Xie Guzhu was entirely because he said it himself. Other palace soldiers couldn't understand the Turkic language, but Yun Chu would understand it.

He quietly informed the captain of the Zhechong Palace Group who led the team of this man's identity. The captain was overjoyed and immediately ordered his subordinates to stab the bandit chief with a spear. I don't know how he did it, but seven or eight spears were made into a bed by him. The naked Zhu Xie Guzhu was sandwiched on this big bed woven by spears. A group of people came in a mighty manner and went back happily.

Behind them, the pool where Zhu Xie Guzhu used to bathe was immediately surrounded by countless thirsty Turks. Except for wanting to drink water, these people had no other thoughts.

After leaving the mountain, the three experts, He Yizheng, Liu Yizheng, and Yun Siyi, gave their professional opinions, that is, there are already signs of plague here, and the army needs to leave here as soon as possible and set up camp again at the upwind.

After the three experts returned to the camp, they all soaked themselves in the willow water for a long time and refused to come out.

Wu Hou Liang Jianfang listened to half of the three experts' suggestions, that is, the army should break camp and move to the upwind. At the same time, he ordered the new Uighur Khan Bisu to send people into Laoshan to retrieve the heads of all the corpses in the mountain.

Zhu Xie Guzhu was eventually killed by the hot-tempered Wu Hou Liang Jianfang. It is said that the furious Wu Hou, because there was no reinforcement from Ashina Helu to kill, used all the weapons in the military tent on Zhu Xie Guzhu. In the end, Zhu Xie Guzhu was like being tortured by a violent bear. Except for a head that was still intact, the rest of the body was almost a meat paste.

From then on, the Turkic Chuyue tribe would be reduced from a famous and powerful tribe to a small tribe of the lowest rank…

The sad Ding Dayou finally returned from the deserted city of Qiuci. It was unknown where he got a lot of camels, more than a hundred, and each camel was loaded with goods.

After Yun Chu led the soldiers of Shangzhou Zhechongfu to work all night, Ding Dayou sent the goods on the backs of twenty camels to the central army camp of Wu Hou Liang Jianfang.

Among them, jade, agate, and gold were the most.

Yun Chu thought that it would be fine to leave some of these things to carry with him. No matter how many, he couldn't enter Yumen Pass. It would be better to present them to Liang Jianfang, the old man in the army. Maybe he might have a way to bring them into the pass.

The benefits of giving things came out immediately. The military law officer came to Shangzhou Zhechongfu and issued a series of orders.

The first order was to report the outstanding performance of Shangzhou Zhechongfu in the Battle of Qiuci, and all the merits of all people, big and small, were given priority.

The second order was from the chief steward of Wuhou to the local officials of Shangzhou, requiring them to compensate the soldiers who had returned from hundreds of battles within the scope permitted by the law.

The third order was to re-assign a division to the Shangzhou Zhechongfu, that is, 500 war horses.

The fourth order was to allow the Shangzhou Zhechongfu to move back home.

Yunchu thought that he was the only lucky person who could go home with the Shangzhou Zhechongfu.

When Ding Dayou called the troops to set off on a cool morning, Yunchu found that the team that he thought was less than 700 people actually had a full 1,000 people at this moment.

When Yunna's pretty little face appeared in Yunchu's sight, he almost didn't dare to recognize this little girl.

This was no longer the little girl who often sucked her snot into her mouth and ate it. She had long since turned into a big gold nugget wrapped in pearls and jade, standing in the sun and shining.

The child was standing on the camel's back. When she saw Yunchu, she jumped off the camel's back excitedly. Fortunately, Yunchu held her, otherwise, she would have fallen flat on her face.

As soon as she jumped into Yunchu's arms, the little girl stuffed the glowing stones on her body into Yunchu's arms.

Every time she grabbed a handful, Yunchu saw the old monkey's face twitching.

"I won them all."

Naha pointed at the old monkey.

The old monkey's appearance today made it difficult to associate him with the old sheepskin who roamed around various tribes and engaged in human trafficking.

A pure black open-fronted Lan shirt was put on his body obediently. Although the exquisite cowhide boots on his feet still had a slightly upturned Hu shape in the front, the webbed head on his head proved that this person must be a big merchant who often traveled between Chang'an and the Western Regions.

Ding Dayou was not surprised that Yun Chu knew his merchant. In his opinion, with Yun Chu's wide social circle, it makes no sense that he would not know Shi Pantuo, a Hu merchant who had close ties with the Tang Dynasty, fully supported the Tang Dynasty even in the face of war, and took in Tang wounded soldiers.

"Let me make it clear first, you will not get any share of the money received from the merchants."

Ding Dayou looked at the huge camel caravan kneeling quietly on the ground with satisfaction, and whispered to Yun Chu's ear.

"Of course, I just want to make some money, buy a house in Chang'an so that I can raise my sister and have a place to live."

Ding Dayou laughed and said, "I asked someone, we can make at least ten times the profit from this batch of goods."

Yun Chu also put his mouth close to Ding Dayou's ear and said, "Ten times? This is calculated based on the capital. Have you ever paid the capital?"

Ding Dayou glared and said angrily, "Brothers who have contributed manpower and blood have no capital?"
