Chapter 289: Tang Cheng's Roar
Yu Suohai walked into the leather tent. didn't rush to answer Yu Suoping's question, took the wine sac and poured it on his neck, and then said with a strong smell of wine: This dog official is a dog who doesn't kiss the sheep and doesn't lick it, if it weren't for the tribe's military supply, I would have chopped him alive with a knife just now."
Rao Lexi, who worships the wolf god, looks down on the animal the most, and being able to scold this kind of thing is enough to show how much the fire in Yu Suohai's heart has condensed.
"What's going on?".
After taking another sip of the wine bag, Yu Suohai explained the reason for the matter in detail, "I will dry the dog official according to the will of the eldest brother, and by the way, I will also see his guts, who knows ......."
Listening to this, the action of wiping the scimitar with a focused face slowly stopped, "Oh! His reaction was indeed unexpected! Tell me what you think of him, after all, you are the one who has always been in contact with him."
"Every time the tribe buys an armament, they have to bribe him once, and this dog official can be really sharp when he collects money; In addition, every time we meet, what he says is to think of what kind of credit to get credit, what kind of credit and what kind of official can be promoted", Yu Suohai recalled and continued: "By the way, he said a lot about the bitter cold of the grassland, the simplicity of food and the prosperity of Chang'an and Yangzhou. It is said that one of his concubines was the number one of the bitch nests that year."
"Love officials, love money, and love beauty, according to what you said, this Tang Cheng is indeed a faint official. But looking at the things he has done since he came to the grassland, this is really something that a dumb official can do? "This is an interesting person, but it's a pity that my tribe is busy now, and I don't have time to talk to him, let's go, see him."
At the first meeting with Yu Suoping, Tang Cheng first complained about tea, "This can also be considered tea?" The tea soup is black, and even has a bit of a musty smell, and it is astringent in the mouth. Not to mention that compared with the top ten famous teas like Mengding Stone Flower, it is better than this to just grab a handful of leaves and rush them out in the Jiangnan Tea Garden", complaining and splashing the tea on the ground, Tang Cheng shook his head helplessly, "It's really not good to enjoy the grassland, this kind of tea is completely inconsistent with the identity of the patriarch of Yusuo." That's it, I'm going to send a letter to those merchants who transport weapons to bring some good tea over, even if it's a meeting gift for the great patriarch of Yusuo."
"Come on, change the wine for Lord Sima. Now is not the time to enjoy it, and besides, what you are used to drinking is good tea, and this is what your clan is used to", Yu Suoping didn't care about Tang Cheng's words, waved his hand and commanded, and then said straightly: "Why is Lord Sima here?" ”。
"It's because I'm busy that these things in life have to be managed more carefully, and if you don't even pay attention to these two things. What's the point of fighting and killing? Seeing that Yu Suoping was not interested in his words, Tang Cheng shook his head regretfully and said, "I have to think about it again and again. As for the purpose of my visit, I am really impatient to pester, eight times a day, for half a month, and come to ask the patriarch to stop fighting."
"Truce?" , Yu Suoping and Yu Suohai glanced at each other, looked at Tang Cheng and said with a playful smile: "The battle has reached this point, and it is time for the final end, and it is not easy to stop the war."
"What's not easy, it's not easy, this is not just a matter of the patriarch of Yusuo", Tang Cheng waved his hand quite indifferently, and continued to say in a loose tone: "Besides, there is also a saying in the Tang people called 'those who walk a hundred steps are half ninety', which is exactly what is the current situation of the Yusuo Department, and it is precisely because it is fought to this part, the Tuduo Department is more ruthless when they fight together, and every day from then on is a bloody battle, and human lives have to be filled." The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, the rabbit was in a hurry to bite people, and the war would not be as smooth as it was at the beginning."
At this time, a servant brought in the warm wine, and Tang Cheng took it and continued while pouring it for Yu Suoping: "Originally, I didn't want to come. This day is cold and far away is really sinful, helpless to try many envoys every day to pester, people can't stop, now the throne on the grassland is vacant, speaking of which, except for me, the Sima sent by the Khan of the day, there is no serious official, okay, now he can be regarded as relying on me, no matter how much we don't want to take care of this official, but now I don't know where to push it? If I don't care, if he goes to Hebei Province to observe the embassy, or the Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, no matter how lightly and skillfully he goes to Chang'an, just one of them does not seek his own government, and the future of this official will be completely ruined on Raole."
Seeing that Yu Suoping was still just squinting his eyes slightly and listening but not speaking, Tang Cheng sighed bitterly and then said, "I told him when I first saw the envoy of Tuduobu, since I can't win the fight, then I will fall, when I saw Tuduomeng yesterday, I still said this, I can't write two words in one stroke, the left and right are my own people, and I am not ashamed to surrender to my own people!" Helplessly, from Tuduomeng to those elders in the Tuduo Department are all copper-headed and iron-headed, and they refuse to die, what can I do? I can only turn around and ask for the big patriarch, and now the Tuduobu is also crippled, and their good pasture is almost occupied, as for those livestock and skins, not to mention, it is time to stop, when is it enough to reap the benefits? This is also lest they die desperately, and they will not gain any benefits, not to mention that they have lost their soldiers and horses in vain, isn't it a loss? ”。
After saying so much in one breath, Tang Cheng took a big sip of the wine cup and moistened his throat, and then said impatiently. "How about it, whether this big face patriarch sells it or not, give me a happy word."
Hearing this, Yu Suoping still didn't speak, just looked at his side quietly, and said in a rough voice: "Seeing that the army is about to stop when all of them are about to succeed, even if the patriarch agrees, I am afraid that the sergeants in the tribe will not will, if the headquarters refuses to stop, what will happen to the adults?" ”。
"The sergeants won't? Then they must have knives and arrows to fight", as soon as Yu Suohai's words came out, Tang Zheng's color changed, and his face sank to the bottom like a black pot, "Since the second housekeeper of Yan took Yu Suo to meet with a certain nobleman, how about a certain pair of Yu Suo?" The supply of weapons is endless, sometimes your ministry does not have money and materials for a while, but also a certain pressure on those merchants to send it to you on credit, the most important thing is to know that you are fighting with the Tuduobu, a certain hard block does not allow the sale of weapons to the Tuduobu, if it is not for the lack of knives and arrows in the Tuduobu, the war of Yusuo can be so smooth? Before and after, a certain person has suffered a lot of tiredness and how much he complained about your department. Well, when you have something to ask for now, if you don't talk about it, you will be put on the neck with a knife. When it comes to business, he was blocked back as soon as he opened his mouth. Since your ministry is like this, it is no wonder that you don't care about friendship. From today onwards, the Ministry of Yu Suo does not want to buy another knife and an arrow, in addition, a certain also said in the front, the ban on weapons of the Ministry of Tuduo was officially abolished, and the supply of knives and arrows was opened, and I didn't know how to make money if I had money, so I really regarded a certain person as a fool? ”。
Tang Cheng's face is really faster than turning a book, a typical villain's face, and once he turns his face, he will say anything cruel, only making his face red. Anger surged.
"Bastard, who's in charge of the Ministry?" After the two sides threatened each other, the bottom was also clear, and after Yu Suoping, who had not spoken, reprimanded Yu Suohai sideways, he looked at Tang Cheng and spoke, "My second brother is a reckless person, and I ask Lord Sima to calm his anger." At least I keep in mind the benefits of my lordship to the Honbu."
Tang Cheng's face stinked to the end, "In that case, please ask the Great Patriarch of Yusuo to give me a clear word, can you stop the Tuduo Division?" So-and-so is still the same sentence, this matter is related to my future, it took many years for the cold window to get this official body, and now who wants to cut off my future, then I can't complain that I have to fight with him, if your ministry doesn't sell my face today, then so-and-so will send the caravan to the Shali Ministry tomorrow. Don't think I don't know, Tudo is a small fight for your department, and the real opponent is Shali."
"Okay", this stuffy stick went down, Yu Suohai almost gritted his teeth and said the word, "Master Sima, don't forget where you are."
After Tang Cheng was stunned for a moment, his face turned red as if he had just understood the meaning of the words, and he roared with a "snap": "So-and-so is in the tent of the Ministry of Yusuo, what's the matter?" You still dare to cut off someone's head? Come on, come on, let you cut it, I'm not afraid to tell you clearly, what the court lacks now is a justifiable reason to send troops to spare the pleasure, if you really want to have this ability, you can carry more than 200,000 wolf-like border troops alone, then just come and cut it! If you cut so, no matter how powerful you are, you don't want to get the imperial court's recognition of the edict, and it will always be unjustifiable on the grassland. Hmph, I really didn't see that you Yu Suohai was such a good thing, if you had known earlier, let alone Yan Er's housekeeper, even Yan Observer personally came forward that day, Lao Tzu would not have sold you a knife and an arrow. Intimidate me and tell you that Lao Tzu is a stunned person and is really not afraid of this."
Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Tang Cheng's roar reverberated in the tent at this moment. Fortunately, there are no acquaintances in this place, otherwise I am afraid that I will be killed, and I will not believe that this irritable and arrogant person in front of me who is full of foul language will be Tang Cheng.
"Second brother, I'll talk to Tang Sima, it's your turn to interject at will, get out!" After turning his head and roaring with a dark face, Yu Suoping stood up and made a Tang salute to Tang Chengzheng, "My younger brother is a rough man, please forgive him for my face if he offends the adult, what the adult said is really big, and let me reply after discussing with the elders of the clan, and the adult can rest with ease."
Seeing that Yu Suoping's words were warm and the number of courtesies was complete, Tang Cheng's face was better after all, "Everyone is a person with status, this work is the same as doing businessmen and trade, there must always be a mutual care, where do the mountains and rivers turn!" Patriarch Yusuo gave this face this time, and a certain naturally reciprocated. Is it really unreasonable to be stumped? The patriarch could send someone to visit, but how long has it been since the envoy of the Natuta tribe came to me, and why have I not come until now? Don't you just want to let your ministry seize the time and hold all the benefits that can be eaten and fished in your hands! Now that the oil and water that should be fished are enough, the number of remnants is also crippled, and the bad thing is that I can't afford to take revenge, so it's not too much to ask for such a love at this time. Okay, I've finished what I need to say, I'll leave when the sun goes down today, and before that, I just have to say yes or no, and the patriarch will give me a word."
After speaking, Tang Cheng stood up and returned the salute to Yu Suoping, "If the patriarch is gone, he won't give it away."
Yu Suoping walked out of the tent where Tang Cheng was temporarily staying, looked at Yu Suohai standing not far in front of him, walked forward and said, "It's just a show, what, I'm really angry."
Yu Suohai followed Yu Suoping's steps forward, "What did the eldest brother say!" I'm angry with that dog official, I don't know how much money I received from us in private, and now I turn my face when I say it, big brother, you look at his domineering appearance, it's obvious that he wants to eat us, and he fed the dog with all the money."
After listening to Yu Suohai's words, Yu Suoping, who was not in a hurry under his feet, smiled slightly, "This is a good thing, seeing his fire today, it has solved the biggest concern in my heart."
"Big brother means ......".
"I also know what he has done since he came to the grassland, and I was worried that his deep mind and plot were too big, but now I can't say that I can rest easy about this worry, but after all, I am a lot more relieved."
"Big brother is saying that he is a scoundrel and reckless? This may be a pretense, and it is not credible."
"Not here", Yu Suoping shook his head with a smile, "It's his threat, second, let me ask you, if you want to threaten someone, when will you choose?" ”。
"This ...... It must be when he is at his weakest, so that even if he is unwilling, he will not have the capital to refuse."
"Then let me ask you again, when should the weakest part of the department?"
"At least not now", Yu Suohai's eyes lit up after saying this casually, "Big brother said when we fought with Shali?" ”。
Yu Suoping nodded, "Yes! That was when the clan was the weakest, if this Tang Chengzhen had a deep mind and a big plan, he wouldn't fail to see this. Therefore, if he is not anxious or annoyed by our cold reception today, and he doesn't even dare to say half a cruel word when he sees me, it will be really terrible. Now we are the only ones who beg for him, and in this case we can still bow to others, that is, we must ask for something. As for the threat that is on the horizon today, it really doesn't matter."
"Big brother knows that I can't catch up. That...... How do we reply? Look at this guy's dog temper that goes crazy against the hair, I'm afraid that he can really say it. If the eldest brother refuses, it will be a problem on Shali's side, I have sent people back and forth a few times, and the Silla weapons they use over there are very different from those given to us by the dog officer, and if we really want to make a move, we can take advantage of this point. ”
"No, why refuse?" , Yu Suoping smiled more and more comfortably, "Although this Tang Cheng is mixed, what he said just now is not wrong." Our only enemy is only Shali, as for Tudo, it is enough to fight now, the livestock and skins, the most abundant pasture have been obtained, it can be said that the benefits that can be harvested have been exhausted, and if we continue to fight, not only will there be no oil and water, but we will not only lose their oil and water, but also force them to completely lose their way to live, and our losses will not be small under the desperate counterattack. Of course, if there is no Shali, even if there is more loss of the headquarters, we must eat him, but it is not suitable now, after all, our purpose in this battle is to accumulate strength to prepare for the battle with Shali. If you really want to consume too much on Tudo, it will be against the original intention."
Hearing this, Yu Suohai realized, "No wonder Shali over there is always one step slower than us when he fights Pingcuo, I originally thought that their combat strength was not enough for us, but now it doesn't seem to be so simple."
"Second brother understands", Yu Suoping sneered, "They are pressing our steps, if I expect it to be correct, I'm afraid that even the loss of each of our battles will be calculated by Shali."
"Then the big brother means that we will withdraw the army and stop fighting?"
"Don't fight, from the time the troops were sent to fight until now, Tuduobu has been crippled, if you don't have ten or eight years to wait for those little cubs to grow up, don't really want to recover, and let him live a few more days, and it's not too late to clean him up after solving Shali."
"Hmm", Yu Suohai looked depressed, "Now that dog official should be proud, he should think that we are really afraid of him."
Yu Suoping laughed when he heard this, "It's a good thing if he really thinks so, don't worry, I won't let go so easily, I have to ask for some benefits to come back." By the way, how many weapons do you have in storage? ”。
"Every time you deduct a little bit and save a little, if the accumulated weapons are consumed like this, even if you don't buy a knife and an arrow, it will be enough to support thirteen or fourteen days."
"It's still not enough," he sighed, "Shali is a fierce enemy, and once he fights them, the scimitar will be better, and the daily consumption of arrows will be at least three times more than now." In addition, if we want to prevent Tang Cheng from jumping out and making trouble again at the joint of our army's war with Shali, then we must save up at least one month's inventory of weapons according to this amount. In this way, they will not be subject to others in a fatal time. Don't come forward in this matter, I'll send someone else to talk to Tang Cheng."
Yu Suohai nodded, "Since the eldest brother has this request, then I will spend some time in the past two days to walk the line on Tu Yezhuo's side, although Longmen Xi is a dog who has betrayed his ancestors, but now they are the only ones who want to avoid Tang Cheng and get weapons." According to the last time this guy sent someone, the weapons he got for us only cost a capital."
"Oh! Is there such a thing? Yu Suoping smiled more comfortably after pondering for a while, "Longmen Xi originally followed Tang Cheng closely, but now he actually came to the headquarters to show favor like this." can't even control his subordinates, which shows that Tang Cheng is not enough to worry."
