Volume 2 Song of the Dynasty Chapter 53 Luo Gu Dan Er
The second layer of the parchment scroll is the words of the former Khan Pundak of the Heshute Department to the Emperor of Haoguo, among them, there are some greetings and apologies for not being able to attend the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager Haoguo. Of course, the most important thing is the recent changes on the grassland, and the request to Haoguo to see the relationship between the Heshuo Special Department and Haoguo in the past 20 years, and send troops to avenge the Heshuo Special Ministry.
Of course, the things of the second layer, Cao Shen will not have the right to look at them, and Zhang Neike will not have them. This letter, written on a parchment scroll, was indeed written by the Khan of the Hoshute tribe. This was determined when General Cao saw the imprint in the first layer. He was a civil official, and he was in charge of the trade between the steppe caravan and Haoguo, so he naturally saw the symbol of the Khan of the Heshuo Special Department.
Zhang Neike came down from the city wall, glanced at the two Luo Gu Dan Er, who followed behind General Cao Shen, and then looked at General Cao Shen, seeing that the latter nodded, he also nodded in return, which confirmed the identity of the two Luo Gu Dan Er, no need to speak.
"Why are you two here today?" Zhang Neike asked with a small hand. There was no wave on his face, he was still calm, and perhaps only being in the middle of the battlefield would make him excited.
Luo Gu Dan Er'er coughed, and the wind inside the gate was much smaller than outside, which made him feel relaxed for a while. But the general of Shanhaiguan in front of him looked arrogant, which made him very uncomfortable. Subconsciously clenched his fists and wanted to attack.
Xiang Emur knew his younger brother's temperament, patted the latter's shoulder, he first stepped forward, put his right hand on his left shoulder, performed a grassland ceremony, and then arched his hand, performed a Haoguo ceremony, and then said: "The two of us are from the Heshuo Special Ministry, and the one next to me is the current Khan of the Heshuo Special Ministry. ”
"Him?" Zhang Neike looked at Luo Gu Dan'er, unable to believe that these little dolls turned out to be the patriarch of a clan. Forget it, he can't control the affairs of the Heshuo Special Department.
Xiang Emur knew what Zhang Neke was thinking, and at the age of Luo Gu Dan Er, it was indeed impossible to believe that such a small doll would be the Khan of a clan, but this was the case. Besides, Luogudan Orben was originally a candidate for the next Khan, and now it was only a few years earlier.
He took off his felt hat, revealing a messy head of hair, in which the originally neat steppe braids were already tangled. Luo Gu Dan Erer also took off his felt hat, he was no better than the former. For more than ten days, both of them were busy on the road, either on the way, or on the way to find food, clothing, and shelter, and they had no time to pay attention to these meaningless things. Rao is so dirty that he can't stand it, so he just finds a random place with water and wipes it at will.
The water is cold, and their hearts cannot be cold.
"A few days ago, the Heshute tribe was raided by Anamzar, and the Pundaq Khan and countless Heshute tribesmen were killed. Xiang Omor bends his knees and half-kneels, we steppe sons will not kneel to the southern barbarians, but now that the situation is special, he really has no choice.
Looking at Xiang Er, Luo Gu Dan Erer gritted his teeth and was about to kneel, but was stopped by the former. He is just a warrior of the Heshute tribe, he can't represent a clan, he can kneel. Luogu Dan'er can't kneel, because he is the current Khan of the Heshuo Special Department, and even if he kneels, he must kneel to be the emperor of Haoguo, not a sergeant guarding the pass.
Zhang Zongbing looked down at the half-kneeling Xiang Mur and did not speak immediately. They don't know much about the changes in the grassland, and so do the raids of Anamzar and the Shuote Division, but in the past few days, they have found that the grassland has become much quieter, and they rarely see galloping horses on the other side of the Liujing River. The two Luogu Danors who appeared today are the only two Warat people who have appeared in the past ten days.
If nothing else, the calm at this time is telling them that Anamzar may have reclaimed the steppe. Zhang Neike has a hunch that the war between the grassland and Haoguo will not be far away, and perhaps it will start in the spring of next year, when the ice and snow melt. What Xiang Omur said proves this point even more. He knew that the Heshute tribe was a relatively powerful tribe on the grassland, and even this tribe was exterminated by Anamzar, so he had to ask Haoguo for help.
"Someone! Prepare to prepare ......" Before Zhang Neike finished speaking, he was stopped by General Cao Shen on the side.
General Cao put Zhang Neike aside, glanced at the half-kneeling Xiang Emur, and said: "General Zhang, my subordinates know what you want to do, so I am going to send troops to the Heshuo Special Department to have a look." ”
Zhang Necker nodded, he did have this intention. Not to mention the relationship between the Heshuo Special Department and Haoguo, just that Anamuzhar, he had already thought about it for a while.
General Cao shook his head, and then said, "Brother Zhang, you are impulsive. Not to mention that His Majesty's will is for us to wait and see what happens, and not let us send troops, your rash dispatch of troops is known to Your Majesty, be careful that the position of the newly acquired general soldier is gone. Moreover, you don't know who Anamzar is, and if you go like this, you will suffer a big loss. ”
This time, he didn't say Mr. Zhang, but called Brother Zhang, for the sake of the face of working together for many years, of course, the relationship between the two is also excellent. General Cao Shen patted Zhang Neke on the shoulder and said with a smile: "As far as I know, Anamzar is cunning and scheming, and the Dzungar department where he is located is not strong, but he has taken down several tribes, precisely because of his tricks. Moreover, the Heshuo Special Department is not far from us, and we are not ready to go, so what do you let the soldiers eat and where to live. Autumn will be in another month, and then Anamzar will hide in the mountains again, what should I do? ”
What General Cao said was reasonable, and Zhang Neike nodded in agreement.
Indeed, he patronized the battle with Anamzar, but he planned to go to the back. In recent days, the grassland has been much calmer, and few people have spotted the figure of Anamzar. There are still many tribes near the Liujing River, but they all exist safely, and Anamzar has not appeared, perhaps they have taken refuge in the mountains.
What is inside the mountain, they don't know. They can't enter the mountain, and few of the Haoguo people who enter the mountain come out, and according to the Heshute tribesmen, the mountain, near the outside, is a snowy field, and as for the depths, they don't know. Don't dare to go in, because there are immortals living inside. It is precisely because of the immortals in the depths of the mountains that the bloodline of the Warat people has been preserved.
"Mr. Zhang, I just got promoted, why are you so unhappy?" Xin Youwei rubbed his hands and walked towards Zhang Neke.
He was about to leave, but he was so tired that he had to rest for a while. The soldiers who delivered the condolences were also people, and there were rare and exotic fruits in the condolences they transported, and they hurried along the way, but they didn't have much rest.
"Ugh." Zhang Neike sighed, looking helpless. General Cao on the side was also helpless, shook his head, and told Xin Youwei everything that had just happened, including the purpose of the two of them coming this time.
After listening, Xin Shilang nodded in thought. This time to transport supplies, the Jingshi only asked him to send supplies and send the Holy Decree, and there was no news about sending troops. But he knew that this matter on the prairie was not planned by the Privy Council long ago. The grassland is different from the Central Plains, and sending troops to the grassland requires a detailed plan. They need to deal not only with the harsh climate of the grassland, but also with the presence of the mountain.
War is not as simple as it seems, and there is a lot of planning, preparation, and hard work involved. The troops can't be dispatched, and Mr. Zhang was disappointed. He turned around and said to Xiang Omur, who was still half-kneeling: "This general soldier also wants to send troops, but without the order of His Majesty the Emperor, there is really no way. ”
"Ask the friends of Haoguo to send troops to avenge me and the Shuote tribesmen!" Xiang Omur knelt directly on his knees. He gave up his last dignity as a warrior of the steppe.
The Luo Gu Dan Er, who was beside him, looked surprised, and the warriors of the grassland actually knelt down in front of the Nanhao people. He glared at Zhang Neck's and the others standing in front of him, and leaned down, trying to help his Aha up. This is an insult, the greatest insult to the prairie children.
Xiang Mur didn't get up, he knelt down, spoke again, and said in a trembling tone: "I hope that Lord General will send troops to avenge me and the Shute tribesmen." ”
At this moment, what he asked for was no longer the Emperor of Haoguo, but the General Zhang in front of him. He understands the truth that the emperor is far away, and as long as he convinces this chief soldier, he will have the opportunity to borrow troops.
It's a pity that Zhang Neike is not a reckless man, and after General Cao's explanation, he understands the stakes.
"You have a national credential, don't you?" Xin Youwei took a step forward, touched his chin, and said.
Xiang Emur hurriedly raised his head and said: "We have, it is a letter of state written by the Khan himself, asking Emperor Hao Guotian Khan to send troops to conquer Anamuzar. ”
As he spoke, he patted the Bone Dan'er on the side and motioned for the latter to hand them the parchment roll.
Xin Shilang waved his hand, and then said: "If you have a national certificate, it will be easy to do." In this way, the official is just about to go back to Beijing, it is better for the two officials to go back together and meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Contempt Kingdom, and His Majesty is much better than General Zhang. ”
The two of them brought national credentials, and they should go to Beijing to meet His Majesty the Emperor. He said this, it is reasonable, and at the same time, it is also for Zhang Neke to step down, although the total army is large, but he cannot rush to send troops.
"This ......" Xiang Mur looked at Luo Gu Dan Er, his brows furrowed. This is a thousand miles away, and it takes a month to go back and forth at the earliest. The revenge of extermination, they want to avenge it every day and every night.
"If the two of you insist on begging General Zhang here, you won't be able to take revenge even in this life." Xin Shilang smiled and continued: "It's not early, and the official is also on his way. ”
"Farewell, everyone." He arched his hand and said to Zhang Neike and General Cao Shen, then glanced at Xiang Emur, who was kneeling on the ground and did not speak, and turned to leave.
It was nearly noon, and the light reached its peak of the day. The dazzling heavenly light shone on Xiang Omur, who was kneeling on the ground, and there was a little sting. Luo Gu Dan Erer glanced at his Aha, his fists clenched, he raised his head, and shouted to Xin Youwei, who was walking slowly not far away: "Wait a minute, we, willing to go." ”
He is now the Khan of the Heshute Tribe, and he needs to support the whole clan, and he can't let Xiang'emur bear everything alone. The dazzling sky light shone on his face, and the corners of his eyes were an enviable firmness.
