"Hehe, what's so hard to think about here, it's nothing more than power and money." Tang Liwen heard Li Yan's question, and said with a smile: "You Chen Meng should have told you that this Gao Qiang surrendered from other grass kings when the Tang Dynasty fought for reunification, and before he threw himself into my Tang Dynasty, he also voted for other grass kings several times, so he also has a title, called Wall Head Grass." ”

"Now that the Tang Dynasty has been unified, there is no internal strife, but there is also an external trouble, and this external trouble is the Eastern Turks. At the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, because of the unification of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, a lot of money, manpower and national strength were consumed, which led to the lack of strength in soldiers and horses. ”

And it is because of this that those barbarians outside the border pass have a chance to take advantage of it, including this Eastern Turk. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Turks have invaded two or three times, and this latest time, when the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, the Eastern Turks took advantage of the unstable foundation to directly break through the barrier. However, because of the final loss, one of his generals was captured, so he negotiated peace and retreated. ”

"And from these, it can be seen that the strength of the Tang Dynasty is weak and the Eastern Turks, but this is only weak and in the cavalry, if you fight the infantry, hehe, you will have destroyed them dozens of times. But if we had to put our infantry against their cavalry, we would be the only ones who would suffer. At the beginning, it was estimated that our infantry would fight with their cavalry to five to one, that is, if the Turks put in 100,000 cavalry, we would have to invest 400,000 to 500,000 infantry. ”

"There is also the fact that the cavalry is highly mobile and fast, which is not comparable to the infantry. The cavalry marched at a speed of about 300 to 400 miles in a day, while the infantry moved at a speed of only 70 or 80 miles in a day, and they were easily exhausted. The cavalry will be tired, but relatively speaking, it will not be as tired as the infantry. ”

"This is the advantage of cavalry, and it is precisely because of this that we have been putting up with it. In recent years, the Holy Lord has also vigorously rectified the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, and now the combat power of the cavalry is believed to be able to compete with the Turkic cavalry. ”

"And that Gao Qiang defected to the Turks at this time, not only to see the powerful combat power of the Turks, but not to understand the current combat power of our Datang, he thought that it was the same as the combat power of a few years ago, so there was such a decision. In the past, as long as some useful information was given, the Turks would definitely promise a certain position, money, etc., and a lot of benefits would be a fatal temptation for such a wallgrass. ”

"So you probably understand it now." Tang Liwen said this, looked at Li Yan and asked.

"Hmm." Li Yan nodded, indicating that he had understood the truth. And this can also be seen from here, he is not very good at analyzing such things, this is because of his own experience.

Although Li Yan is said to be clever and intelligent, he pits people one by one, but when he analyzes his motives, sometimes he is still a little behind. This is the result of a series of insights, opinions, experiences, experiences, and so on.

If Li Yan's also wanted to be an old man like Tang Liwen, he would also have such an analysis, so he wouldn't ask others why. So these are all things that Li Yan still has to learn now.

"Thank you Uncle Tang for telling me, I have probably learned about the recent situation in the county, if there is nothing to do, the junior will retire first." Li Yan stood up and said with a salute to Tang Liwen.

"Hmm." Tang Liwen saw that everything had already been said, so he didn't leave Li Yan here, after all, this is an office place, ordinary idle people, etc., people who don't have an official position, can't enter casually.

"Go back and bring a message to your aunt, cook a few more dishes in the evening, and let's have a few drinks in the evening."

"Okay, got it." When Li Yan heard this, he nodded and retired directly.

Li Yan walked out of the room, and when he saw Chen Meng standing quietly in front of the door, he sent out an invitation and said, "Since you don't do it today, let's go out for a stroll, okay?" ”

"Okay." When Chen Meng heard Li Yan's words, he nodded happily and said, "Since we are going out for a walk, let's go to the vicinity of Tingyan Lake to play, is it feasible?" When Chen Meng said this, he frowned at this kind of speech, and his expression was as obscene as it was.

When Li Yan heard Chen Meng's opinion, he also felt that it was feasible, but when he saw Chen Meng's obscene expression, he knew what he was thinking. What is near the hall banquet lake, how can Li Yan not know. It's nothing more than food and fun.

However, if you haven't arrived at the restaurant yet, then you can't be a delicacy. Since it's not food, it's fun. There are two kinds of fun in the hall and banquet lake, one is the green building, and the other is to watch the play.

And Chen Meng's obscene expression is obviously not to see the second type, since it is not the second type, then it is the Qinglou.

After Li Yan understood the meaning of Chen Meng's expression, he suddenly lowered his three views on Chen Meng by a few points. Li Yan always thought that this Chen Meng was a pure person, after all, it was so pure like the relationship he had with Li Yan in the capital not long ago. Therefore, Chen Meng would not go to such a smoky and rotten place. However, to his surprise, Chen Meng was also good at this, which made Li Yan subvert his perception of Chen Meng.

However, Li Yan thought of this, and suddenly understood one thing. After all, Chen Meng is also a man, and now he is already a big man, he has not married a wife, and he is still a little lonely in his heart, and for a man, he has physiological needs, and even a person who has been tired for a long time needs to vent. So in order to relax yourself, a place like Qinglou is the best place to go.

Although Li Yan understood, he pretended not to understand the meaning, but said with a smile on his face: "I heard Uncle Tang just now say that there have been a lot of Waipan people in this county recently, since you are Waipan people, then there must be a good show to watch, since you are going to Tingyan Lake, then let's go." ”

After Li Yan finished speaking, he walked towards the gate of the county office, and Chen Meng's expression of frowning and winkling directly stiffened, and he looked at Li Yan's back with an unenforceable expression, and there were 100,000 grass and mud horses galloping in his heart.

He really wanted to pull Li Yan and asked loudly, "Can't you understand my expression?" Can't you understand it? ”

However, it was impossible for him to do this, because it would be too embarrassing to do so, not to mention that this was in the county government, so many people, as long as he asked, basically everyone could hear it.

Even if it was with Li Yan, he was embarrassed to ask like this, after all, it was insulting to go to a place like Qinglou, and for a person with status, he didn't dare to go blatantly, after all, the impact on himself was not very good.

But then he thought of another possibility, whether Li Yan was still a ......., if that was the case, it would be interesting.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Meng smiled evilly, and he didn't know what evil things he thought of. Although he thought about it in his heart, he still followed Li Yan and walked out of the gate of the county capital together.

In addition to the gate, the two of them went directly to Dongcheng District, after all, Tingyan Lake is in Dongcheng District.

Pedestrians on the street are often in an endless stream, and you will see a lot of talented sons and talented women, all of whom are walking on the street with a fan. After all, it was afternoon, the weather had already entered summer, and it was very hot to stay at home. It's stuffy inside, it's better to come out and have some fun, or go to play in the water, cool off, or bubble girl, flirt with a talented lady. However, this is generally a bit miserable.

Li Yan and Chen Meng walked down the street, looking at some of them with a fan in their hands, pretending to be very personable, but in fact they were just a comical look, to put it more popularly, even if they looked like a.

Seeing these people like this, Chen Meng pouted speechlessly and said, "Looking at people who look like dogs, but what kind of goods they are, I'm afraid only he knows." ”

When Li Yan heard Chen Meng's words, he didn't say anything, just rolled his eyes, and was speechless. He wanted to say to him: You are embarrassed to talk about others, you yourself are not the same, and you are embarrassed to talk about others.

However, Li Yan didn't say it, after all, it didn't mean anything, but said with a smile to defend these people: "Brother Chen's words are wrong, after all, the weather is hot, is there anything wrong with each of these people taking a fan in order to cool down?" ”

"Uh." When Chen Meng heard Li Yan's defense, he no longer said anything on this topic, but changed the topic and said: "There are really a lot more Waipan people in this county. ”

"yes." When Li Yan heard this, he nodded and said, "But most of them are Eastern Turks, and there are not many other Waipan people. ”

Chen Meng nodded when he heard Li Yan's words. Indeed, when they came out of the county office, they also saw a lot of Waipan people along the way. After all, these Waipan people are very different from the Han people, whether it is eyes, hair, nose, or their language, they are all the same as the Han people, which is very different.

However, when Li Yan and Chen Meng went to Dongcheng District, Gao Zhenyin, the son of Gao Duwei and Gao Qiang, also took a group of people to Dongcheng District.

Among the people in this group, there are many people who are Li Yan's old acquaintances, such as Gao Zhenyin, the fourth son, and Gai Bei and other eight people. And in addition to these people, there are three people with very special faces.

These three people look no different from the Han people, and they are also dressed in Tang clothes. And among these three people, one of them is handsome, his eyes are slightly light blue, with a handsome appearance, he looks a little demonic, holding a fan in his hand, his body is much wider than Gao Zhenyin, and he is twenty-three or four years old. The other two looked much more rude, and they were also in their thirties, obviously guards.

Gao Zhenyin and this strange man went to Dongcheng District with a smile and a smile. However, although there are talking and laughing, Gao Zhenyin walks one step behind the demon son, obviously this is the gap in identity, in order to be such a performance, and he also looks respectful to the demon son. Whether it is behavior, language, or expression, it is like a subordinate. And the four princes and Gai Bei and others behind Gao Zhenyin are also respectful.

And the demon boy enjoyed Gao Zhenyin's behavior very much, and his face was satisfied, but when he looked at Gao Zhenyin's eyes again, he was full of contempt and contempt. This is like the behavior of the superior and the inferior.

However, Gao Zhenyin didn't care about the contempt and contempt for this demonic son, but said eagerly: "Buduo Gongzi, the front is the entrance of Dongcheng District, and there are a lot of fun things in Dongcheng District, among which there are those that Buduo Gongzi likes." ”

The demon son who walked in front was named Budo, and this Buduo was not a Han person, but a Turkic person, but his mother was a Han person, otherwise how could Zhang think like a Han person.

Budo, whose full name is Ashina Budo, was the son of Ashina Budo, the Eastern Turkic Khan of Jieli. Jieli Khan Ashina is aggressive, with a total of five sons and two daughters, and this Ashina Buduo is the third among these five sons. And her mother is the princess of Yicheng in the former dynasty, Yang Yan.

Ashina Buduo is a favorite son of Jieli Khan Ashina, and this time he came to Datang, mainly because there are two things to do, one is to see the rivers and mountains of Datang and experience himself, and the other is to take away Gao Qiang and his family.

When Ashinabdo heard Gao Zhenyin's words, he immediately became interested. The original lazy and casual look was swept away, replaced by excitement. After all, what he likes, as long as it is in the Eastern Turks, those who are noble are all beauties, especially the beauties of the Tang Dynasty. After all, the Turkic women are all very strong, one by one, they all look like five big and three thick, and their skin is not good, which makes Ashinabdo look at it without any interest.

And the women of the Tang Dynasty are different, one by one, they are smart, and they are still in good shape, with a thin waist, good skin, quiet and gentle, and know how to serve and serve people, this is Ashina Budo's favorite type.

Ashinabdo asked with interest, "Oh, what I like?" You know what I like. Ashinabdo, when he said this, his tone became sharp. Obviously, if Gao Zhenyin is mistaken, there is no good fruit for him to eat.

"Budo Gongzi rest assured." Gao Zhenyin heard these threatening words, and said with a smile on his face: "I know what Budo Gongzi likes, and I know the type, so as long as Budo Gongzi is relieved, I will satisfy you." ”

"In that case, if Prince Ben is happy, when you get there, he will take care of you a lot, and even let you follow me in the future." When Ashinabduo heard Gao Zhenyin's words, he immediately became happy and made a verbal promise to Gao Zhenyin.

When Gao Zhenyin heard this, he immediately became excited. Because this is what he wants, if he can follow Ashnabudo, if Ashnabudo becomes a khan in the future, the benefits to him are self-evident. But these are all in the future, as far as I can see, as long as he is under Ashina Buduo in the future, and when the time comes, no one will dare to bully him, after all, he is the representative of Ashinabdo. If you are bullied casually, isn't this despising the majesty of being the prince of Ashinabdo.

As soon as he thought of this, he was extremely excited in his heart, and nodded to Ashina Buduo and said, "Then thank you for being here first." ”

Ashinabdo just nodded lightly when he saw this, and didn't say anything, Gao Zhenyin didn't care at all when he saw this, after all, every person with a noble status has his own dignity and nobility, so there is nothing to despise and despise himself, after all, he is a person without official or position.

However, Gao Zhenyin didn't know that among the barbarians and Turks, they only respected the warriors and the strong. As long as you are strong enough, even if you are a beggar, he will respect you. However, you are a cowardly and cowardly, a person who bullies the weak and is afraid of hard greed and death, even if you are the emperor, you are right to ridicule, despise, despise, and despise.

Therefore, Gao Zhenyin's performance at this time, although it is impeccable, is only for people in the Tang Dynasty, and for Ashina Buduo, who is a Turk, he is a cowardly and incompetent person. After all, only the weak would bow down to the strong like this.

However, Ashina Buduo will not say it, after all, they are just using this Gao Zhenyin family.

The four sons and the eight people of Gaibei, who followed Gao Zhenyin, saw that their boss was so respectful to a person they didn't know what his identity was, and they didn't understand it very much. But seeing that their bosses are so respectful, those of them who are younger brothers, just follow along, how can there be so many whys.

However, although it is also respectful, it is just a show, after all, the appearance is not good, which provokes the disappointment of the person called Budo, Gao Zhenyin will be angry, but when the time is hurt, it is only they who are injured.

It's no wonder they don't know, Gao Zhenyin just told them that this strange son is called Bu Duo, and he should be polite when he speaks, pay more attention, and the rest didn't say anything, not even where Bu Duo was, let alone what identity. But since the boss has said so, just do it.

Gao Zhenyin didn't know what the people who followed him thought, but he just led Ashina Buduo into Dongcheng District with a respectful and courteous face, and went towards the location of the Qinglou in the direction of Tingyan Lake.

However, as soon as Gao Zhenyin entered Dongcheng District on his front foot and did not enter the crowd, Li Yan and Chen Meng also followed.

"Huh?" As soon as Li Yan and Chen Meng stepped into the entrance of Dongcheng District, Li Yan looked at the direction where Gao Zhenyin and the others had left, and then let out a puzzled voice.

When Chen Meng heard Li Yan's puzzled voice, he immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Li Yan waved his hand and said, "I seemed to see a familiar back just now." ”

"Familiar with the back?" When Chen Meng heard Li Yan's words, he said with a smile: "Okay, we're here, don't care if you don't see who it is, if it's an acquaintance, just call him together when we meet." ”

When Li Yan heard Chen Meng's words, he also nodded in agreement, and he didn't pay attention to these anymore.

The world is always so wonderful, and many things always pass you by sometimes, whether it's good or bad. Of course, everyone will be happy and cheer when they pass by bad things, and when they pass by good things, I believe that many people will be heartbroken and regretful.
