Chapter 358: Make Good Wine

The big war was about to break out, but Jiang Han was not worried.

The reason why he is not worried is actually very simple, that is, the current Tuyuhun simply cannot invite a decent or good general to come.

The people here seem to be barbaric in his eyes, but barbarism also has the advantage of barbarism, that is, the concept of discipline is really not strong.

After seeing the opponent's lazy formation once, he had such an idea.

He knew that the arrogant army would be defeated, but he really didn't have pride, but he just looked down on the enemy a little.

Ten days without fighting.

The first to stand up and complain was the observation groups of various countries, they were a little worried about Jiang Han's excessive arrogance, of course, they were not worried about their safety and whether Datang could win this battle.

Because, as soon as they appear with each other, the winner and the loser are already clear.

They don't like to speak for Datang and Tang Jun, and they also know very well why they can come here. Isn't it that Datang wants to show off its military might, we were pulled over to see Datang's military might, and to see how the Datang army defeated this invincible enemy. Of course, if our country is not obedient, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the same situation as Tuyuhun.

Is this a threat?

They don't think so, because complete surrender and no need to be threatened by others is a fear from the heart. This fear does not need to be filled with admiration or admiration.

And so twenty days passed.

Jiang Han drank with the generals and members of the observation group every day, as if the wine on the top of this snow-capped mountain was stronger and more flavorful than the place next to it, and everyone could get drunk.

The Tuyuhun people naturally knew this news, they knew that the Tang army had come all the way, and there was still a big difference between their wine and Tuyuhun's wine.

What are these words? Than drinks?

That's right, Tuyuhun is famous for its liquor, and barley is a high-grade liquor that can be compared to modern distilled spirits in this era. But Tuyuhun was unwilling to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, so this kind of expensive treasure that needed to be transported from the top of the snow-capped mountains thousands of meters above to the hinterland of the Central Plains was hardly seen.

Jiang Han was fortunate to sing it once, but to be honest, Tubo also has this kind of technology, but compared to Tuyuhun, the technology is much more clumsy, their wine is mixed, the entrance is strong but the taste is very poor, and the rice wine and rice wine in the Central Plains are much different, but the barley wine brewed by Tuyuhun's technology is much clearer, the entrance is soft, and the price of one liter of this wine is four or five times higher than that of rice wine.

The key is that no one has mastered this technology, and it is only circulated inside and outside the Tuyuhun court.

To say that this wine is good, it is true, but the better the thing, the more hypocritical it is, and its brewing process has a very important relationship with air humidity, temperature, sunlight and dryness. It can be met but not sought, but its alcohol content is amazing, the ordinary rice wine that people in the Central Plains generally drink can reach up to seven degrees, which is actually not simple, and the rice wine can reach up to fifteen degrees. Although the Mongol-Tatar tribes were able to produce sake with a high temperature of more than 20 degrees, it was only rare, and at that time, when information and communication were extremely underdeveloped, they were only heard of and not actually seen. The instability of its brewing process directly affected the Tatars' carefully prepared gifts, and this high liquor was not included in the list.

This is not the case with highland barley wine, which is now able to reach a level of more than 35 degrees. It's a great invention.

Barley is a plant that only grows on the plateau, grows on the plateau, and if you leave here, you go to study, which is very unrealistic.

Therefore, one side of the water and soil nourishes one side of the people, and one side of the wine nourishes one side of the drunkard.

When Jiang Han's envoy handed over the handwritten letter to the Tuyuhun Great Khan Helianchang, he did look at it carefully and replied, "It's not that we don't surrender, the key is whether the things you want from the Tang family are there......

"Besides, we have sent more than ten groups of envoys, none of them can enter Chang'an City smoothly, our conscience can be expressed by the sun and the moon, the key is that we have no wine, you will send troops to attack me Tuyuhun, you must know, we are also bloody men, if you really dare to fight, we dare to fight back......"

The hardness of these words, in fact, is no less than the hardness of a small country with a big palm in front of the US imperialists, and this was the appearance of the Tang Dynasty at that time.

We loved it and we had to get whatever we wanted!

Cattle!

"But now that Lord Jiang Han has personally led 200,000 iron horsemen to sit on your Tuyuhun land, it has been almost a month, if you still don't hand over the wine, then it can't be said, our army has never lost, so, may I ask our esteemed Lord Khan, can you afford to lose, can your country and subjects afford to lose?"

"Please give us some time, we have to discuss, but the two hundred carts of barley wine you want may not be able to be gathered, but our people you can't move, you must not start a war easily, these people are not as good as me at all, they only have brute strength, but they are also very heartfelt, I don't want to see them get hurt......"

"That's good! Three days later, you brought your civil and military officials and two hundred carts of barley wine to our army to ask for guilt, first, to show your determination to surrender to my Datang, and second, to accept the two hundred carts of barley wine as a sign of your heart, and then to pay the wine to my Datang on a quarterly basis......"

"This ...... But three days is too short, how about seven days? ”

"Seven days for seven days......

It's now the sixth day, when will I be able to drink barley wine......

Tomorrow morning, everyone will be ready for battle, and if they can't come as promised, it seems that this battle will not be avoided.

A catastrophe is inevitable.

The good thing is that when the morning sun of the seventh day has not yet passed through the top of the proud snow-capped mountain, the mighty convoy and Luan driving on the opposite side will meet you.

Jiang Han naturally knew what was going on, but the generals in the army didn't know that the members of the observation group had not woken up yet, but they had also been brought over early to observe.

You have to observe carefully, my Tang Dynasty is not just talking.

Look at it, isn't this stubborn king of Tuyuhun running around in a hurry?

Helian Chang is indeed running.

When he was two miles away from Jiang Han's team, he drove out of Luan and trotted all the way with the team.

The process of accepting the acceptance went smoothly and there were no flaws.

The two hundred carts of wine were also full, and there was no adulteration.

"This taste is good, three bowls of belly, like drinking twenty bowls of rice wine."

Drinking rice wine or rice wine is like water.

Helian Chang followed Jiang Han all the way to Chang'an, and only after accepting Li Yu's canonization could he be regarded as truly completing the canonization ceremony of a third-class king. The process was painful and tough for him.

Because, it is easy to canonize, but it is indeed a little difficult for him to pay such a tribute of 200 carts of wine for the Tang family every quarter. Therefore, he proposed that in order to ensure that the brewing process and time of the sake are sufficient, this system should not be implemented until at least a year later.

That's it. These two hundred carts, our subjects of the Tang Dynasty drink first, ah, no, you are also my people of the Tang Dynasty now, our people of Chang'an drink first, you will be thirsty first......
