At dusk, there were gusts of wind blowing from the snow-capped mountains on both sides. Although mosquitoes were plaguing, there were still people patrolling there.

Sun Xiurong was talking to Nan Gong Xiaoyue.

Compared with Sun Xiurong, although Nan Gong Xiaoyue was adopted as her adopted daughter by Princess Jiaohe since childhood and also learned Confucian classics, she still yearned for life on the grassland from the bottom of her bones. For her, the years she lived in the Chang'an Palace were like a nightmare, even in the Naren Basin with swords and shadows.

She likes the humid and fishy smell in the Naren River water full of summer, the smell of green grass and sheep dung, the milky fragrance spreading around the tent, and the feeling of riding on the grassland.

Compared with Princess Jiaohe who was raised in the palace since childhood, Xiaoyue, who only worked as a palace maid with the princess for two years, completely forgot about her life in the palace after returning to the grassland.

But Xiaoyue has a complicated emotion towards the person in front of her.

"Sun Lang, you said that your Gongyue Word comes from the Khitan. So, did my tribe survive in the desert before?"

"I don't know, probably this is the case. In the north of the Tang Dynasty and the north of this place, the vast grasslands stretched tens of thousands of miles. Some tribes went east and some tribes went west. The purpose of migration was different, but in the end, it was to find a grassland suitable for their tribe's survival. The Yili River was probably the paradise in the minds of the Gongyue tribe, the paradise given by the immortal god."

"It's almost done. When Aye was still here, he didn't tell the origin of our army, but I got some news from the princess in the past two years."

"oh?"

"I really can't look back, I don't want to say it in general."

"I don't want to say anything in front of me?"

"Bold Sun Xiurong, I am your boss, in your eyes, there is no majesty at all of your boss."

"I'm sorry, Governor, I'm polite here."

"screw you"

"Hehe, Xiaoyue, hurry up and talk about it."

"Well, if I say it, what are the benefits you will give me?"

"Xiaoyue, don't worry, my current status is still low and I am not qualified to marry a person like you. It will be possible at most one year or as long as half a year. At that time, I will migrate the Nangong tribe to a better place. At that time, I will use a thousand white horses and a thousand green cows to marry you."

"real?"

"The heaven is above the heavens. If I, Sun Xiurong, have a false statement, I will be punished by God. Okay, you can say it now."

"Okay. This is all said by Princess Jiaohe. Many years ago, there was a Yuwen Xianbei tribe somewhere in the south of the Mo. It stood with the Duan Xianbei, Murong Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei. Later, some of the Yuwen Xianbei merged into the Wei Kingdom established by the Tuoba Xianbei, and some of the tribesmen were still nomadic in the place."

"The world changes and the stars change, the original Yuwen Xianbei evolved into three major tribes, one is Khitan, one is Xi, and the other is Wu. Khitan. Xi is both descendants of the Yuwen family. The descendants of the Yuwen family are in the Yuwen family. But for some reason, Khitan and Xi are becoming stronger and stronger, but Wu gradually weakens."

"In order to get rid of this misfortune, some herders of the Jun tribe gradually migrated westward and finally crossed Jinshan to the Yili River. The princess said that this is the origin of our tribe."

"The Fu tribe that stayed in the south of the mourn originally had two major surnames, one was Yuwen and the other was Dugu. Originally, Yuwen was a descendant of King Khan. Dugu clan has always been a descendant clan, but at some point, Dugu clan became a royal clan, but Yuwen clan has become a descendant clan. At present, they have no status as the descendant clan. The Yuwen clan is quite excluded in the tribe. A small tribe moved to the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty. After learning that there was a Gongyue tribe in Yilihe that was somewhat similar to the original tribe, he applied to move to our tribe during the reign of Emperor Gaozong."

"This Yuwen tribe is also the only half-herd and half-agricultural tribe in our tribe. They have a thousand-die mouth and are one of the tribes that our tribe relies heavily on. Unfortunately, the old leader of Yuwen, who has always been loyal to me, was slightly killed by Ge Shuli not long ago. Fortunately, his son is still there, only fifteen years old, which is completely different from the rest of our tribe. This son is not easy to ride and shoot, but he likes to study. Sun Lang, let him enter your young soldier. Although he is just like riding and shooting, he is proficient in the Tang Dynasty, Turkic, and Sogdian scripts, and has read Chinese classics. His family has always been in charge of the tribe's household registration and tax service, which should be of some help to you."

"What should I do if such a person doesn't stay in the tribe to help you?"

"Sun Lang", Nan Gong Xiaoyue's gentle voice was like a sound of nature in the sound of summer insects on the banks of the Nalun River, with a hint of sigh.

"Our tribe seems to have encountered the same misfortune as the monarch since I Aye. Aye has five wives and concubines, and I am the only one who grew up with adult children. Several males died before. How can I control a large tribe, a woman? It's time to be fashionable, but it won't work after a long time."

"If your promise is fulfilled, what is the difference between a tribe in your hands and a person in mine?"

"Xiaoyue", Sun Xiurong hugged her shoulders, "I swear that I will never let you down. At that time, I will let Yuwen Ministry become your Urus."

"Ahem"

Just as the two of them were dating each other, a light cough came from a distance, and Xiaoyue quickly pushed Sun Xiurong away.

"Sun Lang, I'll leave first, Yuwen Xiaolang is here"

Sun Xiurong was still sitting by the river without turning around, and rustling footsteps came from behind.

"Yuwen..."

Not long after, a slightly tender but already clear sound came.

At this time, Sun Xiurong had already stood up, and the long Fire Cloud Sword was also held in his hand. He stabbed a knife with his backhand, "bang", and the sound of metal intersecting was accidentally destroyed. Sun Xiurong could feel that the other party was a short sword. The force transmitted from the short sword was not as weak as Xiaoyue said, and it could actually block his 80% thrust!

He turned around and stared at the boy in white in front of him.

He was tied with a bun on his head, tied with a blue ribbon, with a fair face, handsome face, wide clothes and big sleeves, and cloud-toed boots on his feet. There seemed to be a faint red on his face, but this redness was rapidly fading.

"You know martial arts?"

"..., know some, I'm from the ancestral inheritance of the Yuwen family. Although I don't like it very much, I still learned it for a few years, and I barely know it."

"Barely able to do it? Too modest. It's very rare to have such a cunning at a young age."

The young man in white trembled slightly, as if Sun Xiurong had touched the point.

"May I have your name?"

"Yuwen Yongnu..."

The conversation between the two was spoken in Chinese. Yuwen Yongnu's Chinese was very fluent, with a clear Luoyang accent. Sun Xiurong, who had lived in the Tang Dynasty for nearly twenty years, felt it.

"What is the connection with Yuwen Yong?"

The little figure moved again.

"..., I don't know, it was from Aye. There is a word slave behind my young man, so..."

"Okay, I heard Xiaoyue say you like to study, so I'll ask you, what achievements did Yuwen Yong have?"

"..., I don't know the specifics, but I heard from Aye that Yuwen Yong is graceful and generous, and he can reconcile his ministers and comfort the people. He is both determined and determined, and endures humiliation. The Tang Dynasty's military system and equal land system came from him, and he was actually a great lord of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

"Oh? Do you also appreciate the system of the palace soldiers?"

"Of course, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty was prosperous, not only did the government army system be implemented in farmers, but also the same system as the government army system was implemented in herders. Herders did not have to pay taxes and service, but only served in military service, but each household's ranch was sufficient. The court used money to buy cattle, sheep and horses from herders, and the herders used money to buy horse harnesses, weapons, daily equipment, etc. from craftsmen, which were all carried out in designated affordable yards."

"In the herdsmen's mansion, the most powerful ones were selected as the upper house, the lord was the lord, the middle house was the cloud cavalry, and the lower house was the lord. Each of them had the nobles' children who were good at riding and shooting, the lord guards, the cloud cavalry patrols, and the lords were always on hand. In addition, the infantry of the peasants' mansions, the flags were fluttering, the array was strict, the trumpet drums were strict, and the advance and retreat were freely magnificent."

“…”

"I think Sima's actions seem to be quite like the style of the Northern Zhou herdsmen's soldiers, and I also recruited many strong men from the family, but I still have doubts."

"oh?"

"Whenever anyone who draws the cavalry will be included in it, Sima only accepts young men under the age of 18. Why is this?"

"What about Yongnu?"

The boy in white seemed to be in deep thought, and after a while, he raised his head and had a glory on his face.

"Sima, is it not a young man's mind? Just like a piece of white paper, you can write, paint, or splash ink. It depends on the owner's wishes. Sima asked them to practice discipline, formation, running, martial arts, riding and shooting, and gathered them together to read and write, just to make them become people like Sima."

"Sima Junya is heroic, both civil and military, and has the skills to overwhelm the heroes in the past. He has become the top talent in the Jump Camp in Shule Town. Later, he has the feat of single riding the Tubo soldiers. He also has the great achievements of killing Geshu in one shot and deciding Naren in ten arrows. He has outstanding knowledge and knowledge of the knowledge of these young soldiers. If they have Sima three successful husbands, they will benefit for the rest of their lives. In my foolish opinion, the soldiers and horses of three successful husbands can be easily taken away in the Hezhong area."

"Hahaha," Sun Xiurong laughed. He patted Yuwen Yongnu on the shoulder, "Yongnu, who has you is really as brilliant as a lotus. Okay, I agree to join the young soldier. I have five gold coins here. In the future, you will be the recorder of the Sima Mansion. The Sima Mansion soldiers will take care of the baggage, marching, training, achievements, discipline, and planning. How about you?"

Yuwen Yongnu's eyes lit up, and he bowed deeply to Sun Xiurong.

"Dare not obeying"

...

In the next two months, Sun Xiurong conducted strict training on a thousand young soldiers. During this period, under the instruction of Fu Meng Lingcha, about one hundred stones of grain and a thousand sets of summer troops were sent by Shule Town. It was delivered by Yang Shouyu, deputy captain of the Ya Soldier.

When Yang Shouyu saw that Sun Xiurong had already had a thousand military strength, he was naturally very envious and pestered him to transfer to Naren.

Sun Xiurong said, "Erlang, it's not that I don't agree. Here, I'm busy working on the day and practicing during the night. I will take time to teach them to read and write. I also have to deal with the Naren tribes and work hard to raise food and animals. If you are there, I can give the young soldiers to you, but it's not possible now. The Fumeng Guardian obviously wants to use you and me separately. How can I easily let me wait together?"

"Don't worry, the battle of Tuqishi is about to be unveiled. At that time, if you make some more contributions for your brother and the Fumeng Guardian will go further. He will stand on the overall situation of the entire West and will not spend any effort on a small pawn like you and me. If you propose it, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Erlang, go back, do things with peace of mind, don't waste your martial arts. By the way, my house in Shule City will be cheaper. Remember, don't bring the messy women there. If I find them, be careful of your dog's head!"

Yang Shouyu scratched his head and smirked.

Unlike Sun Xiurong, Yang Shouyu and Li Fei Yuanli in this world have been around for a long time, so they naturally learned to visit brothels and eat flowers and wine, and their behaviors have also fallen into Sun Xiurong's ears.
