Turbulent Times Chapter 13: The Dugu family and heavy responsibility

Yu Juluo nodded happily, and said: "Since Mr. Dugu has the right manpower, it would be great."

"Wu San, Wu Si, you two will obey Wang Huochang from now on, and you must rescue the third master." Lord Dugu said immediately.

The two warriors who had been standing outside the tent door walked in immediately, bowing and saying yes. Wang Junlin turned his head to look, and found that the two were tall and burly, with fierce eyes and dull expressions, and their temperament was similar to those of the dead men trained by some powerful forces that he had seen in later generations. It's just that the strength of the two of them can't be seen for a while.

"Okay, Wang Junlin, if you can rescue Chief Dugu this time, this commander will give you a great credit and guarantee your military rank to be promoted two ranks." Yu Juluo said in a deep voice.

Wang Junlin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately said loudly: "Don't worry, the governor, the humble official will do his best to rescue Dugu."

Yu Juluo nodded in satisfaction, turned to Guo Shubiao next to him and said, "Guo Duwei, if Wang Junlin needs anything or manpower, he will do anything."

Guo Shubiao is obviously more aware of the influence of the Dugu family in the Sui Dynasty than Wang Junlin. Wang Junlin can guess the transaction between Yu Juluo and the Dugu family. Commander's order."

"Leave me from my humble position." Wang Junlin said.

"I am waiting for your good news."

"Subordinates must fulfill their mission!" Wang Junlin's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he spoke loudly! After speaking, he followed Guo Shubiao and left the tent. Wu San and Wu Si also bid farewell to Lord Dugu and followed Wang Junlin.

"This kid might really bring surprises." Looking at Wang Junlin's leaving back, Yu Juluo's eyes flickered, and suddenly he was really full of confidence in Wang Junlin's trip. Changsu came to him, but he had to agree due to the power of the Dugu family, especially the authority of Empress Dugu in the Sui Dynasty.

Wang Junlin was entrusted with such a big matter, on the one hand, it was because Wang Junlin was superior in sneaking into the enemy's rear to save people; He didn't want to send his centurion, captain, or even Ying Yanglang to take a risk.

In his view, Dugu Moyu was captured by the enemy in his own territory as a governor of Shangzhou, and because Dugu Moyu himself lost Longxi City, the Jincheng County defenders fell into an extremely unfavorable situation. This is Dugu Moyu. The Chinese and military officials of the imperial court are afraid of the power of Dugu's family and dare not speak up to the emperor.

Such a useless waste, did not commit suicide Xie Guo. In fact, Yu Juluo didn't want to rescue him at all, it's just that the conditions agreed by the Dugu family this time were too generous, but even so he didn't want to do his best. Therefore, this matter fell to Wang Junlin, the little fire chief.

Beside Dugu Changsu also looked at Wang Junlin's back, his eyes were deep and terrifying, but no one knew what he was thinking. Although Yu Juluo agreed readily, he only sent a small fire chief, and he did not express any dissatisfaction. Yu Juluo vaguely guessed that this might be related to the struggle for power within the Dugu family, and Dugu chief Su was forced by the patriarch Dugu Zibo's order or Empress Dugu's intention had to come to rescue Dugu Moyu, but Dugu Changsu himself was not very eager.

"Wang Junlin, what else do you need?" Guo Shubiao looked at Wang Junlin with a slightly complicated expression and asked.

Wang Junlin thought for a while and said, "I need twenty-two sets of Qiang costumes, as well as waist knives, bows and arrows commonly used by Qiang people."

Guo Shubiao said: "No problem, I can send people to prepare these things now. What else do you need?"

Wang Junlin said: "Some valuable jewelry, packing, and five hundred taels of gold."

Guo Shubiao nodded and said, "What else?"

Wang Junlin thought for a while, and said, "No more?"

Guo Shubiao said: "Go back and prepare first. I will prepare these things for you as soon as possible, and send someone directly to your camp."

After a pause, Guo Shubiao glanced at Wu San and Wu Si behind Wang Junlin, pulled Wang Junlin aside, and said in a low voice, "Dugu Moyu, governor of Yongzhou, is the most beloved younger brother of Empress Dugu."

As soon as the words fell, Guo Shubiao patted Wang Junlin on the shoulder, then turned and left, leaving Wang Junlin thoughtful.

Hearing the words 'Empress Dugu', Wang Junlin suddenly remembered a very special period in the history of the Sui Dynasty, and even the entire history of ancient China.

In the feudal society, it is not surprising that the family was prominent and survived two dynasties, but what is surprising is that this family survived four dynasties and was related to the rise and fall of the subsequent three dynasties. This is the Dugu family in the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The Dugu family has gone through four dynasties, from the prime minister of Dugu Xin, to the queen and queen mother of the three dynasties. The Dugu family has two sons-in-law and four grandsons who have become emperors for more than a hundred years. This is unique in Chinese history, and the Dugu family deserves to be the most legendary family in Chinese history.

In particular, Dugu Jialuo's life is a legend. She married Yang Jian, the eldest son of General Yang Zhongzhi at the age of fourteen. In the same year, his father failed in the political struggle and was killed, his family was in decline, and his husband was also suspected by powerful officials. Dugu Jialuo maintained a low-key and humble style in order to avert misfortune for her husband; when the Zhou and Sui Dynasties alternated, he personally persuaded Yang Jian to make a Sui plan; later worshiped as Sui Wangfei and Sui Queen; the founding of the Sui Dynasty was the empress.

After that, Empress Dugu deeply participated in the government affairs and maintained a strong influence on Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty throughout her life.

The reason why Wang Junlin knows this history so clearly is because he has watched a TV series called "Queen Dugu". Of course, the plot is definitely different from the real history, but it is enough for Wang Junlin to understand the power of the Dugu family How huge, and how powerful Empress Dugu is.

Wang Junlin bid farewell to Captain Guo Shubiao, while thinking about how to complete this important task, he hurried to his tent. Compared with the awe-inspiring and quiet surrounding the commander's tent, all the troops have already started to make preparations to break out of the camp and set out, but it is also very lively amidst the desolation.

…

…

At the same time, a cold Taoist priest who looked about 40 or 50 years old, wearing a gold silk Taoist robe, appeared on the hillside five miles south of the Sui Army camp.

"During the induction, Dao Xin was in the army camp. I didn't expect that the **** who took away the Dao Heart and the Dao scroll turned out to be a member of the army. It would be a bit troublesome if he didn't leave the army. Breaking into the camp of a hundred thousand troops?" The Taoist muttered to himself, exuding an astonishingly cold air all over his body.

…

…

"I asked secretly just now, and Captain Captain took Huo Chang directly to the tent." Wang Junlin's scout, nicknamed Monkey and named Su Changqing, rushed into the tent and said loudly.

"What, it wasn't the captain who saw him, but the governor summoned him." The other 18 people were all surprised when they heard this. You must know that Wang Junlin was summoned by Yu Juluo, which is like a squad leader in the army of later generations being summoned by the commander of the army. This kind of thing is almost unique.

"What is the origin of our new fire chief? As soon as he took office, the governor summoned him." Qiao Zhengwei looked surprised.

"Could it be the son of a powerful family? Huo Chang's surname is Wang, could he be from the Taiyuan Wang family." Li Xiang guessed.

"That's impossible. Even if the son of a powerful family joins the army, he will at least be a ninth-rank accompanying captain."

"That's right, when did you hear that the sons of the powerful families started from Huochang?"

"Besides, Huo Zhang said that he is a native of Yongzhou."

"Wang Junlin said he was from Yongzhou, could it be that he was from Yongzhou? Also, he may not be the son of a powerful family, so couldn't he be the son of a general in the army? Our generals in the Sui army liked it all. Let my own son start from Huo Zhang. Also, don’t forget, I can’t catch him with three or five moves with his martial arts." Deputy Fire Chief Zhou Hu said suddenly.

Everyone fell silent and thoughtful. Zhou Hu's guess is actually very reasonable under normal circumstances. The so-called poor culture and rich martial arts is not just talking casually. To truly understand the origins of military generals and martial arts masters at this time, except for a very few people with extraordinary talents and occasional adventures The first generation, the rest are born wealthy. Because a real master has to use a large amount of expensive decoctions from the age of five, combined with precious secret methods to build a foundation, no matter whether it is decoctions or secret methods, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can have.

At this time, Wang Junlin rushed into the big tent, and everyone looked at it together.

"At the command of the Commander-in-Chief, we are going to go deep into Longxi County to inquire about the military situation. Brothers, pack up your things quickly and set off in a quarter of an hour." A few scouts explained.

Everyone let out a cheer, and then began to prepare things in silence. Although the task was dangerous, it also represented the opportunity to make a battle. No one in the Sui army did not want to make military exploits, because the great Sui military exploits were rewarded the most in all dynasties. At this time, they seemed to be different people compared to just now. The soldier's aura on their bodies was gone, and their whole bodies were full of killing and capable aura. They were the real elite scouts.
