Chapter 30 I am willing to accompany the prince of the country, and I will rest when I am drunk
Although Li Bai had not seen Pei Min use force, the demeanor of the previous sword seemed to make him realize that Pei Min, the first sword in the pass, was by no means a waste of fame, at least more powerful than him!
Pei Min said with a smile: "Brother Zhang's drinking friend is my Pei Min's drinking friend." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBrother Li will live in my house tonight, and there is nothing else in my house, but there is enough good wine. Up to the palace wine, down to the people's treasures, close to the Guanzhong Yufuliang, as far as the Western Regions wine, everything is available. ”
Li Bai is worthy of being the eight immortals in the wine, but when he heard this, his expression was impatient, and he was not polite, so he took a sip: "It is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
"But before you drink, you need to get down to business." Pei Min glanced at the surrounding environment and said, "Can you go to the mansion with me and tell me what's going on?" Why did the horse thieves from the Western Regions come to Shanzhou, the giant man doesn't seem to be in the same group as the horse thieves, they secretly reserve rice and grain, what do they want? ”
Li Bai said: "It's not clear who the giant man is. Bai knows a little about the situation of the vulture, and if he can help the country, he must know everything. ”
Pei Min asked people to prepare a mount for Wang Zhilian and Li Bai, and the three of them returned to the Jiedu Envoy's residence.
Li Bai also explained the situation to Pei Min and Wang Zhilian.
It turned out that Li Bai went north out of Shu to coincide with the great drought in Longyou. In the face of natural disasters, Li Bai was also powerless, and he didn't want to disturb Pei Min, who was bent on the welfare of the people of Longyou at this time, so he went to the west.
Li Bai's ancestors migrated to the Western Regions in the late Sui Dynasty and was born in Broken Leaf City. When he was five years old, he moved to Shuzhong Brazil, and he was ignorant of memory when he was a child, and vaguely had the style of Broken Leaf City, and he missed it very much, so he went west with a sword, passed through Zhangye and entered Jiuquan, and had a glimpse of the unique cultural features of the West, and by the way, he broadened his inspiration to compose poems for his own entertainment.
Walking to the vicinity of Dunhuang, Li Bai encountered five or six people who robbed women, rescued them with swords, and killed four people.
"In this life, Bai hates bullying the old and the young, and plundering women, but whenever he encounters it, he will never tolerate it."
Pei Min praised: "Kill!" ”
Although the Tang Dynasty was open and not more conservative than in the Song and Ming dynasties, the humiliation of a woman would inevitably be looked at differently by the neighbors, and the result would not be much better.
If it were him, there would be no mercy.
"When Bai Yu killed the fifth person, that person was frightened and broke out the name of the vulture, the king of horse thieves in the Western Regions! Bai was born in Broken Leaf City, and two years ago, his parents received news as far as Broken Leaves. A distant relative, attacked and killed by the vultures of the horse thief king, has been cut off. Vultures are infamous for their rampant roaming of the Western Regions. Now that I have come to Liangzhou inexplicably, I must have a plan. Regardless of the hatred of the country and the family, Bai could not remain indifferent, and according to what the thief said, he found the traces of the vulture of the horse thief king. It's just that there are many of them, so they can only follow them all the way to Shanzhou. ”
Hearing Li Bai say this, Pei Min couldn't help but secretly praise: "What a boldness!" "It's just a seventeen-year-old boy who dares to follow a gang of vicious horse thieves all the way, and he hasn't found it yet, and he really needs some skills.
"Until Shanzhou, the vulture and the giant man converged, and it seemed that they were trading military horses again. They were heavily defended, and it was not known what their true purpose was. Unexpectedly heard the news that Brother Wang had captured the giant man's group. Brother Wang is literary and graceful, and Bai has always respected him, so he naturally does not want to stand idly by. What's more, Brother Wang is a document under the command of the Duke of the Kingdom, as long as Brother Wang gets out of trouble, no matter what the vultures and giants are planning, they can be checked one by one. It's just that I didn't expect the other party to come back so quickly and there are so many people. Thanks to the timely arrival of the Duke of Guo, otherwise Brother Wang and I would be in a worrying situation. ”
After listening to Li Bai, Pei Min looked at Wang Zhilian again.
Wang Zhihuan said: "My subordinates met passers-by who bought a small amount of grain twice, knocked the mysterious person unconscious, and took him to the inn to bind him, during which he heard their intermittent conversations and got some usable news. The group of giants should be Turkic and are planning big things, but it is not clear what they are. ”
"Turkic!"
Pei Min frowned and said, "What big deal can the Turks have?" Do you still have the courage to start a war with my Datang? After a pause, he affirmed: "This Turk may not refer to the Turkic country, but to belong to my Tang Turks." ”
Due to the foreign policy of the Tang Dynasty, there were often foreigners who led their tribes to surrender.
In the face of these surrendered aliens, Datang's response was mostly by means of acceptance. On the one hand, controlling them in your own hands, on the other hand, can also weaken the strength of the enemy, which can be called killing two birds with one stone.
However, there are certain hidden dangers in this move, and the Turkic people are tribe-oriented and respected by the patriarch.
The patriarch said today that he would return to the Tang Dynasty, and all of them would return to the Tang Dynasty without objection. But one day when the patriarch shouted against the Tang Dynasty and returned to the grassland, they would not hesitate to refuse.
Wang Zhilian's eyes lit up and said, "It should be so!" Although the Turks are now weak, they are also the hegemon of the north. If it is really a Turkic country, it will not be able to fancy this little bit of food, only the Turks have this possibility. They contacted the horse thief vultures to buy horses, and secretly gathered a small amount of food to prepare food. The heart of the plot is known to everyone in Sima Zhao. ”
Li Bai also understood the reason when he heard this, and shouted angrily: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different!" Presumably, without us knowing, they are secretly preparing weapons. ”
For the alien races that belong to the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court has always dealt with them by arranging them within the border defense line. If they want to return to the steppe, they must first pass through the border defenses.
It is obviously impossible for the Tang army to let them leave calmly, and it will inevitably lead to a siege-breaking battle at that time.
Generally speaking, they are mostly prepared in advance, and the Tang army is in a hurry to respond to the battle, and it is natural that they will be tired of guarding, and it is better to say that they will break through. It was a bit excessive, and the head of the Tang army was cut off as a gift to the Turkic Khan to show loyalty to the Turks.
Pei Min saw Li Bai's indignant face, knowing that this future great poet immortal was a very angry young man, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's a loss to you." Today, both the vultures and the unknown giants are in our hands, and whatever their schemes are, they will have nothing to hide. ”
Li Bai said: "The vulture is afraid of death, fierce and desperate, and it is not difficult to get out of his words." It's just that the giant man puts life and death out of the way, and it's not easy to deal with. ”
Pei Min shook his head lightly and said, "This Brother Li doesn't understand, it's not terrible to die, it's terrible to beg for death." The few years I spent in the Imperial Observatory made me understand how happy it is to be able to die happily. ”
Li Bai inexplicably felt a chill down his spine and stopped asking.
"That's it!" Pei Min got up and said, "Ji Ling, you temporarily mention me to entertain Brother Li, and I'll go to the cell to see for myself what kind of tricks they are playing." ”
Ji Ling is the word of Wang Zhilian.
Saying that, Pei Min said to Li Bai again: "When I come back, let's drink one side and try how much you drink!" ”
Li Baihao said dryly: "I am willing to accompany the prince of the country, and I will rest when I get drunk!" "But I thought in my heart that the sword can't be compared, and I can't drink the wine!
