Yang Ze has been sleeping in the tent for a long time, he is not interested in going outside to see the stars, he has been in the grassland for a while, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, he is tired of seeing it, not to mention that the wind on the grassland is still strong in the middle of the night, he doesn't want to suffer from the wind cold, even if it is a small cold, but on the grassland, it is also a very sinful thing.

I was already asleep, but someone outside suddenly shouted anxiously: "General Yang, have you rested?" Student Meng Zhengtian, there is something urgent to report! ”

Meng Zhengtian's injury has long been healed, as soon as his injury is healed, he has new ideas, which is related to the task given to him by Yang Ze, originally he was very frustrated, thinking that Yang Ze handed over the work of offending people to him, but after he reviewed the students' diaries for a few days, he didn't think so, but thought it was a good errand.

Above the officialdom, there is a well-known saying, that is, if you want others to befriend you and slap you, then either make the other party jealous, or let the other party have something to ask for, and he has both aspects, the students are afraid that he will comment on the diary, and ask him not to rate them to the last ten, it is nothing to eat one less meal, but it is a shame, as a student of Guozijian can't even write a diary, this is too unacceptable, and once the ranking is evaluated, isn't this the same as the exam in Guozijian, Even if they can become an official in the future, some people want to mention the past of these days, saying that whoever can't even write a diary well, is in the bottom ten, and doesn't even have anything to eat, then they can still be happy to be an official in the future, and their friends will look down on him!

So, every day people come to Meng Zhengtian to call him brothers, what is delicious, what is delicious, what is good to drink, what is good to wear, as well as gold, silver and jewelry, although everyone does not give a large amount, but there are many people who can't stand it, which really makes Meng Zhengtian make a fortune. And he will give bad reviews to whoever he sees is not pleasing to the eye, and it doesn't matter what diary is written well or not, he only looks at whoever gives away few good things, and repairs whoever doesn't recognize him as a leader, and he really becomes the boss of this group of students.

But there is a price to be paid for being the boss, that is, if something happens to the younger brothers. It has to be handled by him, and he has to report to Yang Ze.

Tonight, there were three students who were drawing maps outside and did not come back, and these three students have always been very scolding him, and sent a lot of good things, originally Meng Zhengtian didn't take this seriously, thinking that these three students had gone farther, so they didn't rush back before dark, but until just now. The three students still didn't come back, but one of them had his horse!

The horse was wounded by an arrow and had a feathered arrow stuck in its buttocks, but the man on the horse was gone. Meng Zhengtian immediately knew that something was wrong, the three students must have been robbed by horse thieves on the grassland, and the injured horse may have taken advantage of the chaos to escape, and then found the big army all the way!

Meng Zhengtian hurriedly came to sue Yang Ze. Do you want to look for those three students? Although it was dark, it would have been safer for the three students to be sent to look for them earlier. People may not have a major incident, and even if they do, it is estimated that at least the corpse can be recovered, but if it waits until dawn, then only the corpse can be found, and even the corpse capital cannot be found!

Yang Ze got up in the tent and asked, "What's the urgency, hurry up!" ”

Meng Zhengtian told him what had happened, Yang Ze listened to it, and he was also anxious, although he didn't look down on the students of Guozijian, but it didn't mean that they were lost, he had no responsibility, he was busy and said: "Tell the imperial guards to find it, go quickly!" ”

Meng Zhengtian got the order and immediately went to call the imperial guards to find someone.

Yang Ze thought about it, and felt that the imperial guards might be lazy, so he hurriedly called Mu Gen up again, and said: "Ask the people of the Right Shenwu Army to send a battalion out, you lead the team, and follow Meng Zhengtian to the grassland to look for it, those three students may have been robbed by people from the small tribe, and the people on the grassland are popular to ask for ransom, so they may not be killed, and it is very likely to be rescued." ”

Mu Gen agreed, turned around and went out, but suddenly turned around, lifted the tent curtain, and said, "Master, if they are alive and are ransomed by horse thieves, will we give it or not?" ”

Yang Ze said: "Give it first, wait for the people to come back, and then settle accounts with the horse thieves, it is best for people to come back alive!" ”

Mugen said: "I know! "That's when he went to call the people of the Right Shenwu Army.

Yang Ze fell down again, but he couldn't sleep, walking too smoothly on the road, which made him relax his vigilance, thinking that tens of thousands of troops were marching in arms, and no one would dare to move the idea of the army, who would think, there were still people who dared to rob, although it was only a student, but this was bold enough, it was estimated that it might be a relatively large tribe, and the small tribe couldn't hide from the army, and they couldn't make do with it at all.

After more than two hours, when it was almost dawn, Mugen came back with the right Shenwu army, saying that he had found a small tribe, although he did not see the three students, but he saw the students' horses, but the people of the small tribe were very tough, and they did not admit to arresting the students at all, and they shot Mugen back with arrows, Mugen was afraid that they would harm the students, so he had to retreat, and did not say anything cruel, nor did he do anything.

The person who followed Mu Gen out was Chang Chenggong, and Chang Chenggong said to Yang Ze: "General, under the mark, it is found that the people of that small tribe seem to be the clansmen of the Sudden Khan, and it is estimated that the little Khan is a relative of the Sudden Khan, and their tribal banner is a two-headed black wolf, and this pattern can only be used by the royal family of the Sudden Awakening." ”

Yang Ze snorted, what royal family is not a royal family, he even dares to catch the national teacher of Tujue, the Khan King of a small broken tribe, even if it is the uncle of Tujue Khan, how can he dare to provoke him, he dares to destroy that tribe.

"How many people are in this tribe?" Yang Ze asked.

Chang Chenggong shook his head and said: "It's dark, I can't count the number of tents, but depending on the size of the camp, there must be five or six thousand people, so the young and strong herdsmen who can carry knives into battle should not be less than one thousand five hundred, but the sudden people can shoot bows and arrows regardless of men, women and children, so if it is a small tribe of five or six thousand people, it has to be regarded as an army of five thousand people, which is not easy to deal with." ”

He was a little worried, if the small tribe of Sudden Jue was very tough, for the sake of three students, it would have to fight with the Right Divine Martial Army, it would be really difficult to deal with, if you want to break this tribe, it would not cost hundreds, or even thousands of soldiers of the Right Divine Army, I am afraid that it will not be able to gnaw this bone.

At this time, the imperial guards also came back, they also saw the small tribe, and also went to negotiate, like Mugen and them, they didn't dare to rob people immediately, for the sake of the three students, or the students of the Guozijian they hated, they wanted them to die dozens of people, rushed into the center of the tribe to save people, and it was not necessarily possible to save them, this is really not worth it, for the imperial guards, it is too much to commit, it is better to listen to Yang Ze's orders.

The ball was kicked to Yang Ze, who made him the leader of this army, it was really impossible to dodge it. After thinking for a moment, Yang Ze said: "Call Tan Zhengwen, I have something to command." ”

Tan Zhengwen has a clear mind, and he is flexible, and it is still okay to leave the negotiation to him. After a while, Tan Zhengwen arrived, and he also knew about last night's incident, without Yang Ze's instructions, he knew that the master must show weakness first, and then settle the general account when he rescued the person.

Sure enough, when Yang Ze saw him, the first thing he said was: "Show weakness first, you bring a cart of grain over, as well as some wine, and some copper coins, it is a misunderstanding to say that it is a qiē, as long as we can redeem the three students, then we will treat this incident as if this has not happened, everyone will not interfere with the river water in the future, we will continue to hurry, they will continue to herd sheep, and no one will beat anyone." ”

Tan Zhengwen thought for a while and said, "What if those three students have already been killed?" ”

Yang Ze shook his head and said: "It must be alive, if it is dead, then the people of that tribe will not be tough, anyway, there is no proof of death, they don't admit that we can't let the dead speak, they said that the two horses were found on the grassland, is it possible that we can still fight with them and get back the two horses, it's just two horses." ”

He found Fu Bingrong again and said: "The reason why the people of that tribe are tough is just to raise the price, it doesn't matter, let's all agree, you send someone out now to see if you can find wandering herdsmen on the grassland, or a small group of real horse thieves, just say that we are willing to hire them, bring them to our military camp first, and wait for my next order!" ”

Fu Bingrong understood as soon as he heard it, this was to let the Sudden Awaken person beat the Sudden Awaken person, it was the master's usual temper, and he and Tan Zhengwen went their separate ways.

Yang Ze finished washing, ate breakfast, and then ordered the army to continue to advance, not waiting for news here, he estimated that as long as it was a person from that tribe, seeing that he didn't care, and then left, he should understand that it was not okay to delay the time and want to raise the price, then he should release the people, so that the three students would come back safely.

The Right Shenwu Army learned the news, and the students of Guozijian were even more worried, it can be seen that Yang Ze did not send troops to fight, and they had no choice, and they did not dare to leave the army too far, did not dare to run further, and only refused to write a march diary, but refused to draw any maps.

After a day's work, in the evening, Tan Zhengwen came back from the successful negotiation, and brought back the three students, all three of whom were injured by different Cheng Dù, but none of them were in danger of life, and came to see Yang Ze together after they came back.

As soon as Tan Zhengwen saw Yang Ze, he was angry and funny: "Master, the people of that small tribe really want a ransom, these three students each want a ransom of ten copper coins, a total of thirty yuan, and the cart of food and wine we sent is more than three hundred, and when they saw something, they immediately released them, maybe their appetite is too small!" ”

Yang Ze raised his eyebrows and said, "What, they only need thirty runs?" How can it be so little? Ah, I see, for the herdsmen on the grassland, thirty guan is not a small number, they are really poor, poor crazy! ”

"Master, then look at this matter......" Tan Zhengwen knew that Yang Ze would not give up, it was not a big matter, but the face to lose was too big.

Yang Ze snorted and said, "Let them succeed this time, if we don't say anything, then won't others have to follow suit in the future and come to knock us out!" ”

He narrowed his eyes and said, "When Fu Bingrong comes back, let's take care of it!" (To be continued......)
