Chapter 173: Sacrifice to the Heavens
Looking at the bright steel knife of the Avar people, Abaoji broke out in a cold sweat, he called himself a hero, but he didn't expect that today, he would actually be the sacrifice of the Avar priests. γMiscellaneous-Bugγ
Tang Zhangwei took Cao Sunyu and Gan Hangyou and others to break into the scene of the Avar sacrifice.
The Avars are holding a feast, they eat roast mutton, roast beef, and invite many beautiful women to dance sexy.
Tang Zhangwei and the others were dumbfounded, and the large number of newly recruited soldiers who followed them were also full of interest in the revealing clothes of these Avar beauties.
These people were different from the veterans under Tang Zhangwei, who had just been recruited from among the immigrants.
Relying on the prestige of the Tang Empire, those audience men and Central Plains immigrants lived a good life for a few days, but now that there is going to be a war, those Guanzhong men and Central Plains immigrants are a little scared.
Tang Zhangwei cheered these up, and Tang Zhangwei said to them: "Don't be afraid, if you are a man, you are not afraid, what's the use of being afraid?" I used a machete to fight the world, and the troops of the Yellow Nest were fierce at the beginning! However, we are not afraid, the battle is fought one by one, there is no one who can't be killed, there is no hurdle that can't be overcome, brothers are together, no one will be abandoned. β
Those Guanzhong men replied loudly in unison: "Okay! Let's work together to kill those little bastards. β
The Avars looked at the Tang army led by Tang Zhangwei, and the Avar chieftain Yu Jiudong was still very polite, but he felt that it was on his own territory, so he was justified.
Yu Jiudong, the chief of the Avars, asked Tang Zhangwei: "What are you doing when you come to our territory?" β
Tang Zhangwei said: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, I am patrolling the territory of our Tang Dynasty, do I still want to greet you?" β
Yu Jiudong, the chief of the Avar people, was asked by this rhetoric, and also felt that what Tang Zhangwei said made sense, he said: "I didn't mean that, I just think that when you come to us, you must give me an explanation, otherwise even if I agree, then my tribal warriors will not agree." β
Tang Zhangwei smiled and said, "You and I are more than people?" β
The chief of the Avars, Yu Jiudong, said: "Yes, I am just that there are more people and there are fewer of you. β
As soon as Tang Zhangwei whistled, as a result, from his surroundings, many Slavic warriors came out from behind him.
The Avar chieftain said: "You cattle, even the Slavs and Vikings have given you dogs." What do you want? β
Tang Zhangwei said: "Two things, one is the Heavenly Gold Sacrifice of your Avars, and the other is the few captives who are tied up by you. β
The Avar chief said: "Our celestial gold worshippers can't give it to you, as for these three captives, they were originally the goods exchanged between the Vikings and us, and we didn't care about giving them to you, these cunning Vikings, we have all fallen for them." β
Tang Zhangwei said: "That's okay, you let the prisoners come first." β
The Avar chieftain Yu Jiudong released Abaoji's three captives, and Tang Zhangwei ordered his men to quickly cut the ropes of the three captives.
Then, Tang Zhangwei took the Vikings and Slavs, as well as the newly assembled Tang army, away.
Some of the Avars wanted to do it, and the Avar chief Yu Jiudong said: "Don't do it, you must know that the generals of the Tang army are very fierce, and the Vikings and Slavs are not suitable to offend, even if we take advantage this time, we will suffer a loss next time we fight." Be careful in everything, endure it, and open the sky. β
Yu Jiudong's orders worked, and the Avars did not follow.
After walking out for a long time, Tang Zhangwei's subordinates realized that Tang Zhangwei's back was all sweat.
Tang officers Xiang Chu and Zheng Yongji admired Tang Zhangwei very much at first, but later Zheng Yongji saw that Tang Zhangwei's back was covered with sweat, and he asked Tang Zhangwei: "Do you also know that you are afraid?" β
Tang Zhangwei felt angry and funny, he said: "I'm not a god, how can I not feel afraid, it's just that sometimes it's useless to be afraid, we have to calm down and think of a way to deal with these bastards." β
Tang Zhangwei reorganized the Tang Army in the steppes of Eastern Europe.
The materials from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty were continuously transported from Western Lia to all parts of Lingbei Province, and some materials were also transported to the steppes of Eastern Europe.
At the same time, Princess Suining, escorted by Bai Cunxiao's younger brother Bai Cunxiong, set off from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty and went straight to the Eastern European steppe.
Tang Zhangwei made his capital in Kiev, and at the same time established cities in Moscow and other places.
In the steppes of Eastern Europe, almost all houses were built of wood. In this way, the construction of the city is very rapid.
Those Bolgars would still harass the borders of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Because the Khitans who migrated have lost their leader Abaoji.
In order to bless his country, the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Leo VI, often prayed devoutly. The Lotus County Lord of the Tang Dynasty is also in his own way, praying to God to protect this great empire.
However, the doom of the Eastern Roman Empire seemed to be imminent, because it was rumored that General Tang Zhangwei was training an army.
The only thing that pleased the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Leo VI, was that Tang Xizong only criticized him a few words without any pain.
Soon after, from Chang'an City, Li Bao, the king of Ji, sent a message to his sister Lotus County Lord. The news made Lord Lotus and Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI very excited.
It turned out that Tang Zhangwei had always wanted to balance Datang's budget, because in the Datang Empire, there were too many places to spend money.
Tang Zhangwei felt that the Eastern Roman Empire was not a confidant, so he did not want to increase taxes.
Fighting a war is fighting money, and since Tang Zhangwei doesn't want to spend money indiscriminately, the Eastern Roman Empire is at least temporarily safe.
In Kiev, Tang Zhangwei is constantly practicing calligraphy.
Princess Suining is grinding ink for Tang Zhangwei, and the so-called red sleeves add fragrance to this one.
In the steppes of Eastern Europe, the teaching gentlemen from the Tang Dynasty are constantly shuttling through various tribes, and they teach and teach the culture of the Tang Dynasty.
The brushes of the Tang Dynasty, the quill pens of Western Europe, and the pencils and pens developed according to Tang Zhangwei's orders have all played a significant role.
The Don Army, among the fighters of the steppes of Eastern Europe, held literacy classes.
From the warriors of Armenia, to the warriors of the Tang Dynasty, to the Vikings, and even the Slavs, they all studied the official language and various systems of the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Zhangwei delegated the franchise and manufacturing rights of fountain pens and pencils to Fei Xuechun, a woman Tang Zhangwei trusted the most.
At the same time, because she runs many businesses from Datang to Western Europe, and then to Eastern Europe, she has become a huge rich man in Datang, and in terms of personal net worth, this Fisher Chun is already rich enough to rival the country.
