Chapter 352: Xiao Baozhen's temperament
Lu Xiaoyu didn't point out that this cotton cloth was produced by himself, otherwise the khan would definitely not let him go that day, and clamored to let him make more cotton cloth for him.
"This cotton cloth is very famous in Nanchu, and the producer of cotton cloth is indeed a rare strange person, and everyone in our entire Nanchu knows about it, so I will know." He asked curiously and casually, "Dare to ask Tian Khan, who is your friend of Nanchu?" There is such a great ability to transport cotton cloth from Nanchu to you, this is a journey of thousands of miles! ”
"Speaking of my friend from Nanchu, he is really my noble man of Temugetu. When I had not yet unified the Mongolian steppe, I was just a young man who followed the leader to herd cattle and sheep, and he came to our Mongolian steppe to travel. He said that they had come back from the west of Mongolia, and that when they returned to Southern Chu, they got lost and strayed into the Mongolian steppe. ”
"Didn't you do anything to them at the time?" Lu Xiaoyu asked.
"At that time, Nanchu was still very powerful in the eyes of our Mongols, how could we hate them. He came to our steppe as a guest, and the leader was very hospitable, and later found that as a citizen of a powerful country, he did not have the slightest appearance of bullying others, and often came to see me herding cattle and sheep. He also often encouraged me and said, 'You will definitely not be an idle person in the future, but now you lack the opportunity to soar to the sky, if you need my help in the future, you can come directly to Nanchu to find me or fly the pigeon to pass on the book to me.' Before leaving, he also gave me a dagger forged by Ou Jiansheng, a master of sword casting in Southern Chu, as a souvenir. ”
"Could it be that the Great Khan, you still have the credit for unifying this Mongolia?" Lu Xiaoyu said curiously.
"The credit is great, when there was civil strife in Mongolia, the leaders of various tribes wanted to fight for the right to rule the Mongolian steppe, and the old leader of our tribe died at this time, and the leaders of the tribe were almost annexed by other tribes. In the meantime I remembered what my friend had said, and although it had been three years, I still believed what he said, so I sent him a letter asking him to give me some advice. Unexpectedly, he soon brought weapons and supplies from Nanchu to support our tribe. I also succeeded in becoming the leader of the clan with the support of everyone. He and I were born and died together and fought several big battles. If it weren't for the fact that he went back to his family in an emergency, maybe I would be on an equal footing with him in Mongolia now! ”
"The Great Khan is really destined to be the proud son of the steppe, and even the righteous men of Nanchu have come to help you. Did the righteous man ever come back? ”
"Alas, that's the only thing I regret. I told him that it would take me not long after he left to unify Mongolia, and that I hoped that he would come back and share the country with me, but he politely refused, and he only said that he hoped that I would cherish the Mongolian steppe and treat the Mongolian people well. He didn't want to be involved in it as a Nanchu person, and he didn't support me so much before to get anything from me one day, but he did it entirely because he appreciated me. He said that this is a tradition left by their ancestors Heze heroes, and making friends has always been heart-to-heart and not transactional. ”
Heze is a good man? How does this place seem to have been heard somewhere, is it someone I know who is from Heze? "Great Khan, when did this cotton coat be given to you by the righteous man of Nanchu, and can you tell me his name conveniently? After I went back, I wanted to see such a legendary figure, who came to Mongolia thousands of miles away to travel and made a generation of Tianjiao, which is really a strange person. ”
"Speaking of this cotton coat, he sent it two years ago, and you also know that Nanchu is no longer the day it used to be in the past few years. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is in power, and Southern Chu is now completely closed off from the country and does not want to have any contact with foreign countries. It took a lot of effort for him to ask someone to send it over. I haven't received any gifts from him since. Presumably, the border control of Southern Chu is too strict, and it is really impossible to send it over. By the way, his surname is Zheng, and his single name is Ze, Ze of mountains, rivers and rivers. Alas, one day I wish he would return to Mongolia again, and the three of us would have a good time together! But Nanchu is so big, even if you go back, Xiaobao, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack! Tian Khan said regretfully.
Zheng Ze? Did you hear me right? Tian Khan actually said that the righteous man from Southern Chu was Zheng Ze he knew. This is absolutely impossible to have the same name and surname, because Zheng Ze is also a good man in Heze, and there are very few people who have traveled to the Western Regions. And to be so wealthy and be the "arms dealer" of the Mongolian Heavenly Khan, it is none other than the Zheng Ze he knows.
When Tian Khan saw Lu Xiaoyu, his eyes lit up when he heard Zheng Ze's name, and he knew that he must know this person. Hurriedly pulled him and asked, "Xiaobao, do you know this Zheng Zeyishi, if you can bring me a message and ask him to return to Mongolia as a guest, it would be great!" ”
Lu Xiaoyu was still not at ease, and asked: "Great Khan, I do know a friend who is also my eldest brother named Zheng Ze, but I don't know if it is the righteous man you said." All I know is that this eldest brother of mine has a scar on his face, and people who know him well call him Scar Zheng. ”
"Oh, it's really hard to get through the iron shoes and nowhere to find it, the righteous man I need to find is a scar on his face, and those who accompany him do have people who call him Scar Zheng, if you don't say it, I really have to forget. It's okay now, Xiaobao, it's easy for you to know him. I'll leave this matter to you, where is he now? Be sure to find him and tell him that there is an old friend in Mongolia who misses him and wants to be with him. ”
"If nothing else, he should be in the camp of the Flying Tiger Army I am talking about, and he was also forced to flee to the camp of the Flying Tiger Army because he was persecuted by the people of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. Now it is the time when Nanchu's army is encircling and suppressing the Flying Tiger Army, and I don't know what the situation is on their side. I hope Xiang Yu's troops can't do anything with them, if they ...... Hey, I really don't dare to think about it, I just want to go back to Nanchu to see them soon. Lu Xiaoyu was full of sadness when he thought of the situation over there.
"I appreciate Xiaobao's true temperament, so let's do it, when the time comes, our Mongolia will go to war with the Khitan anyway, and I will send a separate force for you to take to Nanchu to help the Flying Tiger Army resist Xiang Yu's encirclement and suppression. The first is to show the sincerity of my alliance with the Flying Tiger Army, and the second is because I want to repay my benefactor Zheng Ze's heart. I hope Xiaobao, you will help me bring this army out by the way, so that they can better serve us Mongolia. What do you think of this? ”
