When Fang Zheng, the regular attendant of Wupin Sancai, greeted the Turkic envoy, he actually killed the horse of the Turkic envoy outside the city gate in front of the officials and the people, and ordered the sergeant to drain the blood of 200 horses and sprinkle it on the official road. This explosive news spread like a plague to every corner of the capital, causing an uproar. What is even more surprising is that the Turks, who are famous for their ferocity and warlike nature, did not use force after a short confrontation.

This incident contributed to two results, first, Fang Zheng's name spread all over the streets and alleys, and the people in the market regarded him as a national hero. Second, dozens of officials of the imperial court played overnight, unanimously impeaching Fang Zheng for ignoring the overall situation of the court and the country, in order to vent his personal anger, offending "friendly countries", and asking the emperor to punish the crime.

The court and the people were in chaos because of Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng acted as if nothing happened, and after arranging the residence of Datata and his party, he continued to stand outside the city gate at noon the next day, waiting for the envoy sent by another Turkic khan.

This time, Fang Zheng learned to be obedient, first ordered someone to inquire about the itinerary of the Turkic envoy, and after the report was not far from the capital, he led Wei Chengde, Feng Qiudao and three thousand soldiers to meet outside the city.

Wei Chengde stood outside the city and looked preoccupied, sighed and said, "Lord Fang...... Now that the court's remarks are very bad for you, you have to be careful. ”

Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Lord Wei is talking about me killing horses and bloodletting?" Hehe, I think this is the proud work of my life, to promote the national prestige of my Chinese Dynasty and the spirit of my people, the court should reward me. ”

Wei Chengde said: "Lord Fang, don't take this matter too simply, the old man knows that you and Pan Shangshu have a grudge, they are waiting to take your handle, the killing of the horse yesterday can still be turned around, but why do you still bleed in front of the Turkic envoy?" It's not ...... Alas! Isn't that asking for trouble for yourself? ”

Fang Zheng sneered: "Lord Wei, the Turks have repeatedly invaded the border, killed and plundered people in the territory of our Hua Dynasty, and did whatever they wanted, I just humiliated them once in front of them, what's the matter?" The court is so big, there are more than 100 civil and military officials, but no one dares to offend such a 'friendly country'? Do we have to lie on the ground and bow down to obey orders in order to be considered loyal and good citizens? In this way, such a loyal minister, don't do it! ”

Wei Chengde also seemed to be aroused, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "What Lord Fang said is, why bother with those ghosts and ghosts in the court!" Lord Fang is young but has such an unyielding backbone, the old man is not talented, I am willing to go with you! As he spoke, he grabbed Fang Zheng's hand and shook it vigorously.

Feng Qiudao also added a hand to come in, and said coolly: "And me." ”

Fang Zheng looked at the three big hands that overlapped each other, couldn't help but shiver, quickly withdrew his hand, rubbed his arm covered with goosebumps, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, what's wrong with you ancient people?" Just talk well, why do you have nothing to do with holding other people's hands? ”

“……”

“……”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Fang Zheng and the others didn't have to wait long before another group of Turkic envoys came.

There were only about 100 of them, and they were all riding horses, but the speed was not fast, and when they reached the section of the official road sprinkled with horse blood, an old man led by them saw a striking wooden sign standing on the side of the road, which read "Hu people dismount".

The old man paused, stopped his horse, and then carefully stared at the dark red official road that was still floating with blood under his feet, thoughtfully. Then he smiled silently, turned over and dismounted calmly, and the hundred Turks behind him saw the old man get off the horse, and without saying a word, they also got off the horse one after another, and followed the old man and honestly led the horse towards Fang Zheng and the others.

Fang Zheng couldn't help frowning, and whispered to Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao: "This old thing is not simple...... Seeing Wei Chengde glaring at him dissatisfied, Fang Zheng hurriedly changed his words: "This old man is not simple, when negotiating with him, we have to fight with the spirit of twelve points, otherwise we will definitely lose money." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man had already led the Turks to them.

Fang Zheng smiled all over his face, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Ah! Welcome, welcome! Have you eaten all the way? Haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go to the city for a bite to eat...... Lord Lu, Lu Hongwen! Damn, where did this guy go? Who will translate for me? ”

Who knew that the old man smiled slightly, and said in fluent Chinese: "There is Master Lao waiting, I waited all the way here, and I haven't eaten yet......"

Fang Zheng smiled: "Go!" Let's go to the Yuelou Building, I'll have a treat...... Hey? Do you speak Mandarin? ”

The old man smiled and said: "When the old man was young, he traveled and studied in your country, and he admired the Central Plains culture very much, and he also knew a little about Chinese. ”

Fang Zhengxi said: "That's good, there is no translator among us, and it is much easier to communicate." ”

So Fang Zheng introduced Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao to the old man, and after introducing each other, Fang Zheng knew that this old man was not small, his identity was a Turkic national teacher, named Mo Jianlian, and he was the most relied on arm of the Gulu Khan, his status was second only to the Khan, and he enjoyed high prestige among the Turkic tribes.

Fang Zheng's mind kept turning, and Gu Lulu even sent out the No. 1 think tank under his command, which shows how much he attaches importance to this negotiation, it is certain that their bottom line must be very low, and when the young master and I open my mouth widely, I am afraid it is not impossible to ask for millions of taels of silver.

Fang Zheng smiled and stretched out his hand to invite, and entered the city side by side with Mo Jianlian, the whole greeting process was very harmonious and cordial, just like an old friend meeting for many years, on the surface, it seems that the meeting of brothers is nothing more than that.

Fang Zheng and Mo Jian chatted while walking, Mo Jian Lian hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Lord Fang, the old man just saw a sign standing next to the official road, this ......"

Fang Zheng pretended to think for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Oh-you said that, alas! National teacher, don't get me wrong, we have no sense of racial discrimination, I really want to cry out for you, you say, you are all Turkic, but why is there such a big difference in quality? ”

Then Fang Zheng added fuel to yesterday's events, and finally he said: "National Teacher, Nada Tata is really too much, and later he saw that he was in trouble, and he wanted to quibble, saying that he was a messenger sent by the Bone Lu Khan. I thought about it, no, the Khan of Gulu was notoriously gentle and polite, and the envoys he sent would certainly not be as arrogant as Dattata......"

Fang Zheng listened with a smile when he saw Mo Jian, and didn't say a word, but there was a look of disbelief in his eyes, Fang Zheng thought to himself, this old man is not stupid, it is a little difficult to fool him, and there may be a little hope for the truth to be adulterated with falsehoods.

So Fang Zheng continued: "Speaking of that Da Tata's forbearance kung fu is really good, yesterday I ordered someone to kill their horse, and also put horse blood in front of them, but Da Tata is a good cultivation, haha smiled, saying that he is to convince people with virtue, it doesn't matter if I want to kill his horse, just kill, kill until I obey ......"

Hearing this, Mo Jianlian's expression finally changed, and he hesitated: "This old man Datata knows, he is a wise and brave man under Mo Si, and his temper is strong and irritable, how can he let you kill his horse?" ”

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "I don't know this, anyway, he told me at the time that the soldiers under the command of the Molu Khan are as broad-minded as the grassland, and like an eagle or something, and they will never be as small-bellied and calculating as the Gulu Khan, and said that forming an alliance with them is the best choice for my Chinese Dynasty, just like the goshawk chose the blue sky, and the cattle and sheep chose the fat grass or something...... You Turks have too many metaphors, and I don't understand them very well, so that's probably what it means. ”

Mo Jianlian's eyes flashed a hint of lust when he heard this, and his pupils shrank to the size of a pintip, but his tone was still the same as usual: "He really said that?" ”

Fang Zheng nodded and said, "Why am I lying to you?" Yesterday, so many of us were present, we all saw it with our own eyes and heard it with our own ears, hey, national teacher, we hit it off at first sight, don't you like to hear what I, an outsider, say, I heard that the two khans are brothers, for the sake of such a little family property, is it necessary to make a separation? How good it is for the family to be harmonious, and now that there is a feud, everyone is uneasy,—— don't you know that Dattata scolded your family yesterday for being a stubborn Khan, and the scolding is so ugly, I can't listen to an outsider like me......"

Fang Zheng was using his eloquence to sow discord with great interest, and Mo Jianlian suddenly burst out of his teeth with two words: "Piff!" ”

Fang Zheng said: "What? ”

Mo Jian came back to his senses and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Lord Fang, the old man is not scolding you, he is scolding Datata, in the past, when he was under the tent of my Bone Great Khan, he was as tame as a well-behaved sheep, but he didn't expect that he was a vicious wolf who couldn't be raised!" ”

Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, after consuming so much saliva, he finally achieved a little effect.

Of course, it was impossible for the penniless Young Master Fang to really invite the national teacher to dinner, and after settling them down, Fang Zheng led Wei Chengde and Feng Qiudao to say goodbye to the national teacher and left.

Old Man Wei asked as he walked, "Lord Fang, when will you negotiate, have you decided?" ”

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Lord Wei, don't worry, let the two of them have a good time in our capital for a few days, have a good time, sing, dance, call Miss, they can do whatever they want, hehe, let's continue to live our lives, and neither will be delayed." ”

Old man Wei hurriedly said, "Lord Fang, it's not a problem for you to just leave them in the post house and ignore them." ”

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Turks are more anxious than us, the fire has burned their butts, how can they have the heart to eat, drink and have fun?" Let's wait with peace of mind, in less than two days, they will beg us to negotiate. ”

Saying that, Fang Zheng winked at Wei Chengde: "Do you want to make a bet?" ”

Wei Chengde smiled bitterly: "The emperor sent you to negotiate, you really chose the right person, the old man admires ......"

Fang Zheng smiled secretly: You ancient people definitely don't know what negotiation psychology is, what is it to attack the enemy must attack the heart first, this is similar to the knowledge of pickling girls, the more urgent you are, the more you will mess up......
