Chapter 286: Roasted Camel Meeting
Chapter 286: Roasted Camel Meeting
When they came to the main tent in the Golan, although it was the same happy scene, and it was also very lively, but the innermost circle of the bonfires was full of people of status and status from various tribes or Middle-earth, and the more they sat outside, the lower their status, and there was no scene of each other being separated by the campfires in the rest of the camp. It is inevitable that most of these people in front of the main tent will have to worry about more things, and they will inevitably have to talk about some things on the occasion of a feast like the Night Ghost Festival. This is a rare opportunity for everyone to gather, although the interest is very high, but it is inevitable that the matter will be discussed in a race against time.
And walking into the big tent amid everyone's greetings, Tan Xiaopei found that this big tent that didn't look special at all was actually too special, and the current weather could only be regarded as slightly cool, and it was really hot to stay by the huge bonfire in the night ghost festival that was not the night ghost festival in Yunzhou and Benwolf Plain. The big tent is that the outer ring is supported by wooden shelves and cowhide, but the inside is an open-air bonfire, and the existence of the tent is just to separate a ** space. The bonfires inside the tent are much smaller than those outside that are more than one person tall and have a lot of wood, but what is burning inside is out-and-out fragrant wood and herbs, which fills the tent with a faint fragrance.
"Your Majesty!" Looking at the tent where Hula knelt on the ground, Tan Xiaopei hurriedly announced that he would be exempt from courtesy, but fortunately, Dongping's etiquette was lax, and everyone would not lie on the ground and not get up. They sat down around the campfire in the middle of the tent, and Goran hurriedly ordered his men to carry up the huge, well-roasted camel. After Tan Xiaopei cut the first knife, naturally there were specially trained subordinates who cut off the best meat on this camel and shared it with all the guests here. And Golan was also satisfied, and proudly put away the golden knife inlaid with opal that Tan Xiaopei used to open the first knife. It was also customary for men to have seats in the tents, and to have beautiful slave girls around them. Even Zhuo Xiu, Tan Weiying and Dai Qiuyan, they all know the traditions of the tribe. He did not stay in the tent, but went to the tent behind the tent for the noblewoman. But delicacies such as roasted camels will not be missing a star from them.
Today, as the owner, Golan couldn't be happier. He never thought that the Night Ghost Festival in Danyang would be able to attract such a group of guests, Mo said that the current formation of the Night Ghost Festival was not a luxury in his opinion, even if he spent several times more money, he was willing.
"Your Majesty, General Zhuo, Captain Chi, Lord Ye...... You are here tonight. It was unexpected. Thank you for looking up to us tribesmen, and thank you for looking up to the crudeness of the Night Ghost Festival. Golan held the bowl of the sea, which was full of Grey Goose wine, and he saluted everyone with the bowl in his hand. Everyone should have a good time here. ”
After taking a big sip, Golan handed the big bowl to Ye Tao, and Ye Tao did not hesitate and took a big sip. Then handed the sea bowl to Tan Xiaopei, Ye Tao said: "Your Majesty, today everyone should follow the customs." ”
"Haha, okay." Tan Xiaopei also took a sip very proudly...... A large bowl of Grey Goose Wine circled around the campfire, and it was already at the bottom. And look at everyone so face-giving. Golan was even happier.
"Your Majesty, did you have fun today? I heard that you said that you were a businessman just now, and you had a good chat with that Zhang Shun. Golan asked.
Tan Xiaopei nodded and said, "It's just to come out to play." That's not good, no matter what, you have to go out on patrol to observe the people's feelings. I'll have to ask Tai Shiling to write like this, hehe. However, Yunzhou's business is very troublesome. Tianma Xing is a famous horse shop, why is he so afraid of Zheluo? ”
Ye Tao said proudly: "It's not that I'm afraid of Zheluo, I'm not afraid of anyone, I'm afraid of the rules of Yunzhou." After a little explanation of the commercial law now in practice in Yunzhou and the commercial arbitration tribunal that has begun trial operation. Ye Tao added: "Many rules in Yunzhou may have to be changed slowly for a long time before they can be fully applied, but all kinds of laws and regulations in Yunzhou are equal to everyone. Tianmaxing is subject to the restrictions of the Commerce and Trade Bureau and the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau, so that's fine. But it's the same for other businesses. Although there will always be collusion between officials and businessmen, it is much better. ”
Tan Xiaopei nodded and said, "Although you are a little bolder in using Chen Kai, it is also a good move." It's just that it's a pity that you bury this person's identity. ”
Ye Tao smiled and said, "Chen Kai will still come out." This errand of the three civil affairs departments tested his character more than his ability. Chen Kai should be a very good financial planner in the future. It depends on whether Your Majesty dares to use it at that time. ”
Tan Xiaopei smiled. said: "I dare to pull you directly to Yunzhou, and it has become a fixed pleasure to read the posts that impeach you every day." What else would not dare? Tan Xiaopei suddenly asked: "Everyone happens to be here today, so I won't call again, right here, how about we discuss some things?" ”
As soon as Tan Xiaopei said this, Goland's back straightened. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, then I will retire first." ”
Tan Xiaopei hurriedly smiled and said, "Alas, Patriarch Golan, don't worry, everything I said is here, and that includes you." This matter has a lot to do with you, old patriarch, you can talk in the Wolf Plain. ”
Golan was relieved, arched his hand, and sat down again. Tell the slave girls to stand down.
Tan Xiaopei doesn't necessarily have to talk about things here, but as soon as his heart moved, a father's instinct began to attack again. He didn't doubt Ye Tao's feelings for Tan Weixin and Tan Weiying's two baby daughters, but at the same time, he didn't doubt Ye Tao's feelings for his other wives, and at this moment, the two beautiful female slaves were prostrate beside Ye Tao, Ye Tao's face was calm, and his performance was not abnormal at all, which made him very unhappy. Anyway, it's the same here as it is in other places, so it's better to use this reason to clear the scene.
"I want to ask how much military strength Yunzhou can prepare next year." Tan Xiaopei asked.
Ye Tao and Golan looked at each other. After a while, Golan cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, the elite children of the tribe can form the Landscape Cloud Cavalry at any time, right?" Though...... It seems that less than half of the preparation and training are now, but my tribe's sons can still fight. As for the Running Wolf Plain, what to do in the end, it depends on His Majesty's orders, and it should not be a problem to pull tens of thousands of elite horsemen. ”
Ye Tao noticed something and asked, "Your Majesty, but is there any new movement?" ”
"Yes," Tan Xiaopei said with a smile, "Northern Liao is unwilling to sit still after all. According to the news from Nie Rui's subordinates, the Eastern Route Army of Northern Liao is going to attack Beining Pass, preparing to take Beining Pass, and it is best to take Yicheng, and want to improve their situation before our preparations are completed. Not to mention, if they really take the Bac Ninh Pass, I will really have a headache. However, the Xue family gave me a guarantee, saying that it was no problem to hold on. ”
"Stubborn resistance!" Chi Xianping continued: "Although I don't dare to say that taking Northern Liao is nine out of ten, even if the war starts now, there is still a sixty percent chance of winning." I'm afraid that if we fight like this, our military will suffer a lot of damage, so ......"
Chi Xianping didn't get to the end. But everyone understands that in fact, after the elimination of Northern Liao, there is still a bigger battle to be fought. It is precisely because it is not a problem to take Northern Liao that they hope to be able to lose as little as possible. As for Xiling and Chunnan, they all know that they must pay a heavy price.
"Your Majesty, although I don't have a good relationship with the Xue family, those members of the Xue family are still very reliable in fighting. Since they said that there would be no problem with Bac Ninh Pass, it should be fine. Ye Tao said: "Does Your Majesty want us to attack and contain us from the side?" ”
"No," Tan Xiaopei said categorically: "I hope that you can take advantage of the time when Northern Liao has no time to pay attention to you, whether it is to fight the northern tribes or Xiling, or to fight with the Western Route Army of Northern Liao, and hone the military strength of Yunzhou." ”
"Round battles?" Ye Tao frowned and asked, "Why did Your Majesty change your mind?" ”
"Because I feel that if I am too afraid of damaging the military, I may be more damaged. There is a difference between a soldier who has been on the battlefield and a soldier who has not been on the battlefield, you all know this. Now the troops are enough, and the equipment is excellent, but whether it is those armies in Liangzhou, the Tianxuan army, the garrison of Beining Pass or other armies, they are not the armies that fought back and forth with Xiling and Northern Liao more than ten years ago, and most of them have never seen blood. In these years, the most blood has been seen by a large group of Gongzi's blood Qi army, as well as the Yunzhou army. And the problem now is that I can afford to fight in Dongping, but Northern Liao can't afford to fight, they want to attack, you can let them attack, I am ready to directly put the Tianxuan army on top and go to the Northern Liao to tug at the war, and grind away the military strength and morale of Northern Liao little by little. But in the end, the problem still has to be solved. When Northern Liao is exhausted, I hope to be able to fight from both sides, directly solve Northern Liao in one go, and don't let the war last too long. That is to say, although I know that Beiliao is going to attack Beining Pass, I am not prepared to counterattack in advance, but to maintain a defensive position until we are all ready. The Forbidden Army, the Tianxuan Army, the Blood Qi Army, and the Beining Pass Defenders will attack together at that time, and your Yunzhou armies will attack from the west, and I will completely entrust you with the errand of solving the Western Route Army. At that point, I don't want to go wrong at any point. Therefore, whether it is the army over there, be prepared to see blood. ”
Ye Tao thought about it. He still has a good understanding of Yunzhou's current military strength, and although the 50 battalions in Yunzhou have not yet been reorganized, it is still possible to transfer 15 to 20 battalions of troops to fight under the condition of maintaining the security of Yunzhou. And Tan Xiaopei's words also reminded him of one thing: the armies of Yunzhou are too new, and everyone is trying to figure out how to control them.
"Then I'll try to take down the Zhenbei Military Division." Ye Tao thought for a while and said: "The Western Route Army has no food, so it can't fight with us, and besides, I don't think Gao Senqi will dare to fight us for the time being." ”
"Zhenbei Military Division?" Tan Xiaopei smiled and said, "It's not a small tone." ”
