Chapter 36

The Niu brothers were not ordinary soldiers of the Sui army, but members of the White army.

Stepping on the White army is an army engaged in reconnaissance. The word stepping on the White army means "investigating the enemy's concealment".

Reconnaissance, sabotage and spying are all tasks of the White army.

Those who can become members of the White army are smart and tough people selected from the old soldiers.

Li forgot to worry and said in his heart that the two brothers are equivalent to future special forces, the king of war! It's amazing.

In the 11th year of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, Bi Kehan of the Turks took advantage of emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to patrol the northern fortress, led hundreds of thousands of cavalry to attack, and besieged emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in Yanmen.

At that time, the Niu brothers guarded Yanmen pass and fought with the Turks. Yanmen's garrison was only 17000 people, and there was only enough food and grass to last for 20 days, but they resisted bravely. Although the casualties were heavy, they still managed to keep the city pool intact.

At that time, the two brothers of the Niu family were ordered to spy on the movements of the Turks, but they were inadvertently surrounded. When breaking through, Niu Wu was shot in the eye by a cold arrow and fell off his horse. Niu Yong lost an arm to save his brother.

Fortunately, paoze fought to save them in the army, so he pulled them back from the ghost gate and picked up one life.

Later, the Turks could not attack for a long time and retreated to the north. The Sui army took the opportunity to catch up with Mayi, captured more than 2000 Turks, withdrew and recovered Yanmen counties.

This is the Yanmen war in the 11th year of Daye.

Hearing that the two brothers were wounded in the battle with Turks, Li forgets to worry. He is a national hero!

The Niu brothers were discharged from the army due to injury and returned to the field. However, they also escaped the civil war of the world's Heroes in the late Sui Dynasty.

However, Li forgets to worry. He only looks at the patched clothes on the Niu brothers. He knows that these brothers are also those who live in poverty.

Although I don't know that the Niu brothers still have some skills, since the old village recommended them, they must have extraordinary skills. Why are they so difficult?

Although the land in Dingzhou village is poor and the villagers live a miserable life, by means of the cattle brothers, they should be able to live freely even if they go hunting in the mountains?

Dingzhou village is backed by Shouyang mountain. It is a famous peak on the north slope of Qinling Mountains. The famous Boyi and Shuqi died of hunger in Shouyang mountain after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the business.

Shouyang mountain and the whole Qinling Mountains are rich in wild animals and products in the Tang Dynasty. How can the two members of the White army who are so capable of stepping on the cattle family be poor?

But at this time, the three met soon, but Li forgot to worry, but he didn't ask much. He just hid his doubts in his heart.

The three chatted all the way. With the strength of the cattle brothers, they arrived in Huxian County in more than half an hour, much faster than the ox cart Li forgot to worry about the day before yesterday.

Li Qieyou jumped down from Niu Wu's back. After thanking Niu Wu again, he led them to the county government.

He came to borrow horses from Yang Zuo.

Huxian county is 70 miles away from Chang'an city. Even with the feet of the Niu brothers, it has to walk for more than three hours without rest. But if you ride a horse, half an hour is enough.

Please ask the Yamen at the gate of the County Yamen to go in and report to Yang Zuo.

Soon the Yamen answered and asked Li forget to worry. The county magistrate waited for him in the back yamen study.

Li Qieyou asked the Niu brothers to wait at the gate of the county government, so he followed the government service into the county government.

In the study, Yang Zui smiled and asked, "Ziyou, why are you free to come to the county government today? You're just in time. I'm going to ask the government servant to go to Dingzhou village to find you to the county government."

Li forgets worry a little surprised. Why does Yang Zuo have something to find himself?

"Ming mansion, but what can I do for you?"

"Well, there are some things. Ziyou, what's the matter with you coming to the county yamen?" Yang Zuo was not in a hurry to answer Li forgetful's question, but asked his intention.

"I need to go to Chang'an. I want to borrow a horse from Mingfu."

"It's OK to borrow a horse, but you have to do something for me." Yang Zuo said slowly twisting his beard.

"Mingfu, please."

"It's a small thing. It's very simple. There will be a poetry meeting in Qujiang pool of Chang'an City tomorrow. It's just that you're going to Chang'an city. Then go and attend it by the way and come back on behalf of Huxian students."

what? Attend the poetry meeting?

Yang Zuan's words made Li forget his worries for a long time, and he didn't know what to say.

It's simple, simple, your sister! Yang Zuan said it so easily. It seems that it is as simple as asking Li to forget his worries to buy a woad in the vegetable market.

Er, it really doesn't seem difficult to think about it. I don't know how many Tang and Song poems I have in mind. It's not difficult to get the first name of the poetry club.

But why!

Does his idle egg hurt?

What poetry fair do you go to and earn more money with that Kung Fu? I owe a fart - share of huge money and have to make money to let a family of four survive the locust plague in the near future. How can I have the time to do any poetry with a group of idle prose people.

Besides, he doesn't want to brush any fame. That's what literati who want to be an official will do. What if you win the first place in the poetry club? Can you let Yang Zuo forgive his debts?

"Mingfu, you're embarrassing me. I have something to do in Chang'an. I don't have time to attend any poetry fair."

"No time? I don't have a horse to borrow. Go on your own." Yang Zui was not in a hurry and looked at the official document in his hand.

“……”

Li Qieyou was almost half killed by Yang Zui's words. Is this still the county magistrate of the Tang Dynasty? How stingy!

He also had a little temper. He would not borrow it if he didn't borrow it. He was great. He could spend some money to hire a carriage.

In other words, hiring a carriage in Datang is more expensive, which is much more expensive than taxis in later generations. The price is about a hundred pounds. For every 100 miles, the charge is 100 Wen

Nima, what a black heart!

The three brothers of the cattle family and themselves, together, can be counted as 400 Jin. Seventy miles to Chang'an, that is to collect about 400 copper coins, equivalent to 1600 yuan for future generations!

Well, you can buy about ten jin of pork!

But before Li forgot his worries and left in anger, Yang Zuo did not lift his eyelids. He threw out a word and let him take back his steps ready to go out.

"If you win the first place of the poetry club, the county will reward you 100 yuan."

People are poor and short of ambition! One hundred passes is not a small number for Li Qieyou now.

After moving to Dingzhou village's old house, the whole family had seven or eight copper coins left. This time he went out and took half with him. Now Yang Zui said he would reward him a hundred times. How can he make Li forget his worries.

Li forgot to worry and spread his hand in front of Yang Zuo: "pay half in advance! This money will not offset the arrears."

He knew he still owed the county government 1.62 million, or 1620 copper coins. Don't look back and work hard to get the first name of the poetry meeting. Yang Zui made a deduction for the debt, so Li forgot his worries and had to cry.

Li forgot to worry about this philistine appearance, which made Yang Zuo want to smoke him. And pay half in advance. Do you think I'm doing business with you and paying a deposit?

"Get out!" Yang Zuqi stopped reading his official documents and slapped them on several cases.

"What's fierce? Just go out." Li forgot to worry. Seeing that Yang Zuo was really angry, he hurried away from the land of right and wrong.

When he came out of the door, he heard Yang Zui shouting in the house: "go to the stables to lead the horse. I can't get back the top name of the poetry club. Be careful that I go to your house to collect the debt!"
