Datang Live Room

Yan Kai gave the calligraphy away.

To this day, he still doesn't know who is behind it and why he did it.

But he can feel the kindness on the other side, and that's enough.

At this time, Chu Suiliang and others were also planning to leave.

Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon.

When leaving, Chu Suiliang whispered in Yan Kai's ear: "Boy, are you planning to go north?"

Because of Li Shimin's secret order, Yan Kai wanted to go north, which was considered a royal charter.

But he didn't expect Chu Suiliang to see it.

In fact, people outside may not know it, but after living here for almost a month, Chu Suiliang just watched Chun Yuzhen and others' usual preparations.

Yan Kaixian got them cotton clothes and so on, as well as so many tanks, so we knew what this kid had planned.

Yan Kai saw that he couldn't hide it, so he nodded openly and admitted, and then asked in a low voice: "I don't know...when will the army set off?"

Chu Suiliang rolled his eyes at him, can I tell you this?

He waved his hand and said, "Remember to make dumplings to eat during the Chinese New Year!"

Then he took the two old men and left.

"Hey, don't forget, you three, you all still owe me a lot of words!"

Yan Kai actually wanted to ask Chu Suiliang to bring a globe when he went back, but considering the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it would be better to wait a few years.

Then Chu Suiliang said that he would make dumplings during the New Year. Doesn't that mean that Tang Jun planned to make dumplings for the Turks during the New Year?

In this case, they will start preparing to leave in the next few days.

After all, it will take some time to travel by water.

The last time he went to Turks, Yan Kai had the idea of ​​​​avoiding causing trouble as much as possible.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks had not yet started a war. No matter how privileged he was as a small county magistrate, he could not afford to take the blame for provoking a war between the two countries.

But this time it was different. This time I went to Datang and had already started a war with the Turks.

If they go there, they will become a military workers team behind enemy lines!

Yan Kai was leaving, and the time was not short, so he couldn't hide it from his family.

Yan Laoer glanced at Yan Kai, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

Mrs. Yan, on the other hand, gritted her teeth and said, "Kaier, don't show off after you go out. Safety comes first. Do you understand?"

Yan Kai was a little stunned. He thought Mrs. Yan would not let him go if she found out.

Sister-in-law Yan sighed: "I have heard a lot about the people you brought back from the north last time."

"Mom and your father don't want anything from you. It's nice to say that the imperial lady also has a title, but we don't have to do it. The reason why mother doesn't stop you is because she thinks that if you have the ability, you can bring down the people over there. It’s better to save more and bring them back.”

"But!" She immediately added: "Your safety is the most important thing. Don't show off. Just like when you went to Old Liu's house to steal fruit when you were a child, you first ask someone to trick Old Liu away, and then sneak in and steal it. ”

Yan Kai grinned: "I remember that time you and dad gave me a good beating when we came back!"

"Can that be the same?" Yan Laoer glared: "If you steal fruits from people in your own village, of course I have to beat you up. But if you go this time..."

Yan Laoer couldn't tell the truth, so he thought for a moment and said, "You are doing the right thing this time!"

"Don't worry!" Yan Kai said with a smile: "Not only will I come back without any harm this time, I will also bring back Chun Yuzhen and Li Anyan without any harm."

He has such confidence. If the Turks are in chaos, how many defenders will be left on the Turks' borders?

It's probably the limit for a tribe to be able to leave a thousand people.

Even if it was a head-on confrontation, the two hundred or so of them would not be afraid.

After appeasing his parents, he called all the people who were following him over.

"Zhixun, you and Zhou Tong, please keep an eye on Kuoding County for me. And Zhixun, you have to prepare for next spring. I just don't know when we will come back."

"Yes, sir!" Zheng Zhixun has become more stable over the past year.

He is said to be the chief clerk, but in fact he is basically responsible for the county magistrate's affairs.

"Sir, I..." Zhou Tong was a little reluctant and wanted to follow.

"Okay, I received a letter from your parents a few days ago, saying that they are here to visit you this year and celebrate the New Year here."

"If you weren't here, what would they be doing here?"

As for the others, Chun Yuzhen, Li Anyan, Huang Rong and Cheng Hualiang will follow him.

At first, he asked Cheng Huailiang if he wanted to go, but the boy agreed without even thinking about it.

Not only did I agree, but I was extremely excited.

In his opinion, where is this going to fight? Just go to the Turkic rear area for fun!

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the second year of Zhenguan, Yan Kai and his people boarded a boat from the seaside of Kuoding County and headed north.

They will enter the northeast from Yalu River, and then penetrate deep into the Turkic hinterland.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks had not yet started a war, so they naturally would not be too defensive in terms of border defense.

After arriving at the Turks, they will lurk temporarily. Once the tribes on the Turkic border receive the news and send troops to reinforce the Turks' tents, they can start taking action.

"Brother, isn't it said that the rivers in the north freeze in winter?"

Cheng Huailiang asked beside Yan Kai.

The weather is quite cold now.

Fortunately, everyone wore thick cotton clothes and trousers to withstand the severe cold.

While talking, there were waves of thick fog.

"Other rivers can do it, but this Yalu water does not." Yan Kai explained: "The main reason is that it is close to the mouth of the sea. The fluctuation of sea water makes the river water here highly mobile, so it is not easy to freeze."

Of course, it’s not easy. If the temperature really drops below minus ten or twenty degrees for several consecutive days, it will still freeze.

It's just that there are only some floating ice on the river at this moment, which is not completely frozen yet.

This is all thanks to the military advisor in the live broadcast room who gave them advice and chose a route that could enter the Turkic hinterland through water.

At this time, Yan Kai and the others were already deep behind enemy lines, and some Turkic people saw their ship along the way.

But because they were camouflaged, these boats didn't look like anything special.

He came in without any surprises, and it was so smooth that people were surprised.

In fact, the weather is still cold, and the Turks don't have cold-proof clothing like them. Even the nobles stay in tents all day long.

As for other Turkic people, they would not go out in such weather.

"Tomorrow, we will find a place to go ashore and prepare to celebrate the New Year!"

Yan Kai said as he looked at the increasing number of ice floes in the river.

The river is almost impassable, so we might as well find a place to stay and celebrate the New Year!
