Chapter 104: Killing the Horse
At this time, the officials sent by the Ministry of Rites also came one after another, and everyone met for a while, and some of the officials wanted to rest on the side of the road for a while like Fang Zheng, so it can be seen that the three adults in charge were standing under the scorching sun, and the officials were embarrassed to avoid the shade. Fang Zheng's lips moved, wanting to say something, looking at Wei Chengde's flat face, he finally couldn't help but not speak.
Among the officials of the Ministry of Rites, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked out, and smiled at Fang Zheng: "Lord Fang, the lower official Lu Hongwen, appointed by the emperor, is the interpreter of the reception of the Turkic envoys this time, and I also ask Lord Fang to take care of it." ”
Fang Zheng said with a smile: "It should be you who take care of me, let's cooperate well, whatever the Turks say, you can translate it to me word for word, if I swear, you tell the Turks that I am greeting his female relatives, and wish his female relatives good health and climax, haha." ”
Lu Hongwen's eyes widened, and he looked at Fang Zheng with a smile, he had never seen an official so vulgar and vulgar, Lu Hongwen didn't know how to respond to Fang Zheng's words for a while.
After waiting for more than two hours, the scorching sun in the afternoon had already made Fang Zheng's head dizzy, and just when his patience was completely exhausted, a puff of dust rose from the distant hills, from small to large, from far to near.
Feng Qiudao said expressionlessly: "They are here." ”
Fang Zheng nodded, turned to the three thousand sergeants and shouted, "Brothers! The waist board is straighter! Don't embarrass our Hua Dynasty! Let the Turkic cubs see that the military might of our Hua Dynasty is not weaker than them! ”
The three thousand sergeants stood solemnly and replied in a loud voice: "Yes! ”
From a distance, I could already see the ranks of the Turks, and I saw that they were about 200 people, all of them on horseback, even if they were running wildly, they also maintained a fairly neat distance in the queue, and at a glance they were battle-hardened veterans.
As he spoke, the Turkic procession was approaching. The horse's hooves raised dust from the sky, like dark clouds falling from the sky, and Fang Zheng and the officials covered their faces, and the officials covered their faces with their sleeves, or looked around for places to cover the dust. The originally neat team was a little messy by this burst of dust.
The closer they got to the front, the more frightened the officials became, and the low sound of horses' hooves made the ground tremble slightly, as if it was beating on their hearts, which was terrifying, and the officials no longer cared about any decency, and scattered in all directions, only Fang Zheng, Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao were still standing motionless in the front.
Fang Zheng was also a little scared when he stood in the first position, he felt that the situation was not quite right, he took a closer look, and found that the Turks had arrived in front of him, but the speed of the horses had not decreased at all, and their queues were lined up in a cone-shaped formation that was only used when attacking, and the Turkic man who ran in front of the horse was dressed in a sheepskin robe and a woolen felt hat, Fang Zheng could even clearly see his facial features, only to see that his eyes were deep-set, his eyes were blue, his nose was pointed, and the side of his face was full of beards, just like the Turks in Fang Zheng's imagination, his face was full of unruliness.
The speed of the Turks' horses was still unabated, and the officials and onlookers had already avoided from afar, and several officials with a good conscience waved and shouted in the distance: "Three adults, quickly avoid!" ”
Why didn't Fang Zheng want to avoid it? To tell the truth, he is the first person who wants to run, this young master is young, he has not enjoyed the good days, many beauties are still waiting for me to soak, if he is trampled to death by the Turkic horses outside the city, am I wronged?
But he couldn't run, there were Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao standing behind him, as well as three thousand soldiers, countless onlookers, as the envoy of the Turks, if he ran away, how would Old Man Wei think of him? What will Feng Qiudao think of him? What will the officials, sergeants and civilians behind him think of him?
Looking at the horse team galloping in front of him, cold sweat flowed down Fang Zheng's forehead, and his whole body began to tremble involuntarily, he could even feel the hot air spewing out of the horse's nostrils, at this moment, he clearly felt that death was so close to him.
Gritting his teeth, Fang Zheng suddenly raised his right hand high and shouted at the Turks: "Stop the horse!" ”
Feng Qiudao sneered, pressed his hand on the hilt, and took a step forward.
The Turks collectively screamed, and as soon as they pulled the reins, more than two hundred horses raised their front hooves, stopped castration, and stopped, and the dust behind them spread like a plague.
Fang Zheng's hand was still raised in the air, covered in dust, and from a distance, it looked like a terracotta warrior that had just been dug out of the soil.
Wei Chengde, Feng Qiudao and the three thousand sergeants behind them were no better, they were all disgraced and embarrassed.
Fang Zheng stared, staring at the horse ridden by the first Turk, the distance between him and this horse was only half a foot, Fang Zheng could even see the thick mockery in the horse's eyes,—— it was indeed a beast raised by the Turks, and even his temperament was the same as that of the Turks.
The Turkic who stopped did not dismount, but sat on his horse and looked up and laughed, making strange noises from time to time, pointing at Fang Zheng and the officials and people who were hiding in fear behind him, talking and laughing, with an extremely arrogant attitude.
Lu Hongwen ran out of the crowd with a confused face, leaned in front of Fang Zheng and said, "Lord Fang......"
Fang Zheng snorted a few times, spit out the dust in his mouth, wiped his face fiercely, and said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't blame you, tell me, what are these bastards talking about?" ”
Lu Hongwen had a difficult look on his face, and Fang Zheng said impatiently: "Translate it word for word, don't forget what the emperor sent you for." ”
Before Lu Hongwen could speak, Feng Qiudao said coldly on the side: "They said that the Hua Dynasty sent a hairy boy who had not dried up to negotiate, it was a big joke, and they also said that the people of the Hua Dynasty were cowardly and timid by nature, and even if they only sent a few galloping horses, they could conquer the entire Hua Dynasty." ”
Fang Zheng finally couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, damn! This group of bastards came to the Chinese Dynasty to form an alliance for a truce, and they dared to be so arrogant, and if they didn't give them some color, how could they talk about the next negotiations?
Fang Zheng turned to Feng Qiudao and said, "Did the emperor say that you want to listen to me?" ”
Feng Qiudao nodded, as if he had a premonition that Fang Zheng was going to say something, his expression began to be excited, his eyes lit up, and his left hand was firmly pressed on the hilt.
Fang Zheng said again: "Does it include the transfer of troops?" ”
Feng Qiudao nodded fiercely: "The emperor said that everything is up to you, and you can do what you say." ”
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Very good......"
Saying that, his face changed, and he roared loudly: "Fence these bastards for Lao Tzu, there are reckless movers, kill!" ”
Feng Qiudao waved his hand excitedly, the three thousand sergeants had already been angered by the arrogant and arrogant attitude of the Turks, and they did not dare to move because of the military order.
The Turks blew up in an instant, shouted and cursed, drew their scimitars at their waists, stared at the blue eyes, and confronted each other with the three thousand soldiers, the officials of the Chinese Dynasty and the onlookers saw that the situation was not good, and seemed to be about to fight, so frightened that their faces were colorless, and they ran into the city gate one after another, observing the situation outside the city from a distance.
The Chinese Dynasty sergeants had an advantage in numbers, three thousand people surrounded a mere two hundred people seemed very relaxed, spears against scimitars, both sides stared nervously at each other's movements, everyone's hearts were heavy, the scene was extremely silent, but everyone knew that the current situation, a skirmish could break out at any time.
Wei Chengde frowned and said: "Lord Fang, the two countries exchange troops, if they don't kill the envoys, although the Turks are arrogant, but they are envoys after all, if they use swords and soldiers in vain, I'm afraid they will ......."
Fang Zheng sneered, "Lord Wei, have you ever seen such an arrogant envoy? The emperor also told me before, no matter how you talk about it, the national prestige of my Hua Dynasty must not be weakened, they let their horses run wild in front of me to scare people, and maliciously insult their officials, don't give them some color to see how to do it? ”
Wei Chengde nodded when he heard this: "Since the emperor said so, the old man won't say anything, Lord Fang can decide for himself." ”
Fang Zheng said to Lu Hongwen, who was scared all over: "If you talk to those bastards, you will say that you have arrived in the capital of the Hua Dynasty, and ask them to dismount and walk into the city, this is the rule of my Hua Dynasty." ”
Lu Hongwen stammered a few words with a Turk led by him, and the Turk's expression suddenly became angry, and he pointed at Fang Zheng viciously and said something loudly.
Fang Zheng didn't bother to listen to Lu Hongwen translate with him, and asked Feng Qiudao directly, "What is that person talking about?" ”
Feng Qiudao said coldly: "He said that the Turks grew up on horseback, and it is impossible for them to dismount with a few words from the enemy, and he also said that he wants to duel with you......"
Fang Zheng was furious, so many people were looking for Lao Tzu to duel, and the persimmon was soft and pinched, this Turkic person was shameless enough.
"Don't get off the horse, do you?" Fang Zheng bared his teeth and smiled at the Turkic people led by him, and then his expression became fierce, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill their horses for Lao Tzu!" ”
When the three thousand sergeants heard this, their spirits were lifted and they shouted in unison: "Kill!" ”
The flat-ended spears in the hands of the sergeants were stabbed out at great speed, hitting the throat or heart of the horses, and before the Turks could swing their scimitars, the horses they were riding let out a terrible neigh, and they fell to the ground.
As soon as the horse fell to the ground, the Turks, of course, could not sit on their horses, and they ran out or jumped out from under the horses with strange screams, and the Turks, who had just appeared heroic, were now embarrassed.
Now it was Fang Zheng's turn to be proud, he pointed at the Turks and laughed, and said to Feng Qiudao while laughing: "No wonder these bastards refuse to get off the horse, it turns out that they are all lapped legs, holding their butts and skimming their legs, as if they have been raped by a man ******......"
The Turks led by him stared at Fang Zheng coldly, and gave a whistle, and the panicked Turks suddenly lined up in a neat attack queue at a rapid speed, and their angry eyes glared fiercely at the Hua Dynasty sergeant next to them, and the scimitar in his hand was held obliquely, emitting a cold cold light under the scorching sun.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Feng Qiudao didn't care about Fang Zheng's identity as the main envoy, pulled Fang Zheng behind him, took a step forward, and shouted loudly: "The whole army is on alert!" ”
The sergeants shouted in unison: "Yes! ”
The atmosphere at the scene was solemn, and a suffocating pressure fell heavily on everyone's hearts, and the war seemed to be about to break out......
