Chapter 288: If you come to Heng, I'll be stunned
Finally, please move Tang Cheng, the true god, to go on the road. The envoy of Tuduobu almost burst into tears, and if there really was a wolf god on the grassland, he would definitely be annoyed to death by his countless chantings.
Rao is carriage is heating with high-grade silver frost charcoal, in this small area will inevitably accumulate some dull charcoal, Tang Cheng, who was a little dry, stretched out his hand to push the car window, while breathing in the fresh and cold air through the window, while sipping hot wine and listening to the envoy of the Pingcuo Department sitting opposite.
After waiting for so long, this is the result, the face of the envoy of the Pingcuo Department is really unbearable, but it is even more impossible for him to go back now, so he is not embarrassed or embarrassed to follow Tang Cheng's convoy, "The current situation of the headquarters is really at the juncture of life and death, and now that the throne of Rao Le is vacant, in addition to Lord Sima who was sent by the Heavenly Khan, who else can the headquarters go to?" In any case, the safety of 100,000 people in my Pingcuo Department will be completely in the hands of adults."
Since Emperor Taizong, how many Simas have been sent to the grassland in the past seventy years, and who really cares about them? Now that life and death are at stake and he says such unreasonable words, the envoy of the Phuntsok Department is obviously in a hurry to attack his heart and use all the tricks he has used.
But at this time, Tang Cheng naturally wouldn't go over those old guys with him, people were miserable like this, and he really couldn't get any pleasure if he ravaged with words, so he reached out and helped the envoy of the Pingcuo Department fill up the hot wine, "What's going on with my Sima, your envoy still doesn't know in his heart?" If you want a soldier, you don't have a soldier, you don't have a general. Who can really listen to me? Even this time I went to Tudo to obey the destiny of heaven, relying on a little friendship with the patriarch of Yusuo. As for Shali on your side, he didn't even have this friendship, but your envoy suddenly threw such a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and I wanted to bear it, but I was really powerless."
Now the situation in the grassland is to affect the whole body, and the situation of Yu Suo and Sha Li containing each other is very clear, if there is no bottom in his heart, why would the envoy of the Pingcuo Department ask Tang Cheng for it, and he will not leave for such a long time, but he is not stupid, so he did not expose the words, but asked nervously, "It's good that Lord Sima has a friendship with the patriarch of Yu Suo, according to the adult, how likely is it that Yu Suo will stop this time?" ”。
It seems that this guy is really in a hurry, and he even asked such a thing, Tang Cheng smiled in his heart, "This is a matter that only the great patriarch of Yusuo can decide, what should I say?" ”。
"It's me who is reckless", the envoy of Phuntsok smiled to himself and arched his hand according to the etiquette of the Tang people and said solemnly: "I, Phuntsok and Tuduobu, are now two weak sheep tied under a necklace, and they will die and live, but whether they are dead or alive is all in the hands of adults." If you really die this time, you don't have to say anything, if you can come back to life with the blessing of adults, it will also be a big injury, but I'm afraid that even self-protection will be weak. If you don't rely on adults, who else can you rely on? In any case, I still say the same thing, and the safety of the 100,000 people of the Phuntsok Department will be in the hands of adults."
Grinding and chirping. Wouldn't it be over if you had said this earlier? After the words that should be listened to were finally revealed so clearly, Tang Cheng didn't need to make those twists and turns anymore, and said after drinking the remaining warm wine in it, "Although the decision is in the hands of the great patriarch of Yu Suoping, I will definitely do my best to mediate the war, otherwise it is nothing for me to run in vain, I really can't bear to see the grassland bleed again, after all, these are the people of the Heavenly Khan, and they are in the same room, so why bother with each other."
The envoy of Pingcuo directly ignored Tang Cheng's "compassion for the heavens and people" feelings for the grassland, and still asked persistently: "Then how sure is this trip a success?" ”。
"Your Excellency is really persistent", Tang Chengzhi shook his head helplessly and smiled and said: "The patriarch of Yu Suoping is also a person who has a lot of friendship and elegance, and there is still a certain amount of certainty in this trip."
The envoy of Phuntsok waited anxiously for so long, and now after throwing out the hole cards, he finally changed back to such a definite answer, and suddenly felt that his heart was suddenly relaxed, and the sullen breath that had been held for an unknown amount of time was finally spit out, "That's good, in addition, my department has something to ask for help."
"Please speak".
"Shali's soldiers are strong, and it goes without saying that our people have the will to resist bravely, but I really don't have a hand on this weapon. The waist knife is blunt, and the quiver is empty, how to deal with the violence against the enemy? Please also ask the lord to lift the ban, send a few more merchant teams to come, not to mention anything else, this arrow should be brought more anyway", speaking of this, the envoy of Pingcuo paused and carefully looked at Tang Cheng's face, gritted his teeth and showed three fingers and said: "As long as the things can be delivered as soon as possible, the headquarters is willing to increase the price by 30%."
"There is such a thing! Hey, this is my negligence", Tang Cheng stroked his forehead and regretted when he heard this, "A certain Yuan couldn't bear to see too many killings in the same room on the grassland, and it was to observe that the embassy of Chengwen Hebei Province banned the arms trade between them, but I didn't expect that your ministry was fighting against violence, the situation is really special, negligent, too negligent!" Your envoy can rest assured, I will immediately order someone to handle this matter, and I must send the military weapon to your ministry as soon as possible. As for the price, the noble envoy also knows that the businessman is very profitable, and now the situation on the grassland is special, and the goods of your department are urgent, and the price will rise inevitably. How about all the weapons supplied to the Pingcuo Department only increasing the price by 20% compared to the peaceful years? ”。
In the battle between the two armies, only one round of counter-shooting consumed thousands of arrows, in the face of such a huge amount, I don't know how much livestock and leather goods can be saved, the envoy of Phuntsok was really overjoyed when he heard this, and he gave his hand again and again, "Thank you so much, in addition, the Ministry of Shali also asks the adults to strictly control the door."
Tang Cheng's answer to this matter was really not hesitant at all, "Your envoy can rest assured, a certain knife and arrow will not be allowed to flow into Shali."
Although Tang Chengdu has relented, the envoy of Pingcuo is still not at ease, after everything is said, he stared at Tang Cheng in a daze and wrote the warrant, as soon as the warrant arrived, this guy ran back with the horse team as if the ass was on fire, and its speed was really impressive.
Thinking that the weather was cold and the road was far away, Tang Cheng deliberately brought a carriage with him when he traveled this time, with the intention of being able to relax, but the messenger of Tuduo was too inauthentic, and he rode a horse back and forth every day as if he had an epilepsy, urging him to hurry up at least eight times from morning to night, and no matter how good the carriage built in this era was, there was no shock-absorbing equipment. The degree of comfort plummeted, and in the end, Tang Cheng, who was upside down, really couldn't stand it, so he simply gave up the carriage and rode the horse with the wind, so that the degree of travel became faster, and it took nearly three days less than expected to arrive at the Tuduo leather tent.
The dilapidated tents, the wounded soldiers everywhere, and the old and weak women and children who fetch water and do chores have expressionless expressions on their faces...... Everything he saw in front of him was a perfect interpretation of the word "miserable", Rao is Tang Cheng had a clear understanding of the current situation of Tuduobu, but after seeing the row of nine crematories that reached the height of three stories in the later generations, he still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. How many people would have to die to pile up such a terrible pile of corpses!
Compared with the one in front of him, when Rifu arrived in office, his pacification in Longmen County was really nothing, that is, after seeing this pile of corpses, Tang Chengcai had a real concept of "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither".
There was nothing to say about the meeting with Tuduo Clan, the great patriarch of the Tuduo tribe, from the expressions and words of him and the elders of the tribe who were anxious to the point of despair, combined with everything he had seen with his own eyes, Tang Cheng had clearly seen that the persistence of the Tuduo tribe was only an inch apart, even if it had not reached the bottom line.
Now that the time is ripe for intervention, this time the asking price and negotiation are too fast, in the case that the waist has been bent or even about to be interrupted, there is no room for the Tuduo Department to bargain, they almost agreed to Tang Cheng's request after just making a face hesitation, and then urged, both urging the military and urging Tang Cheng to start contact with the Ministry as soon as possible.
If it weren't for the cruelty of the grassland hegemony to the point that the upper-class nobles would have been slaughtered once they were defeated, I was afraid that Tu Duomeng, who loved to enjoy but did not have much ambition, would have prostrate in front of Yu Suoping and take the initiative to surrender.
This is the difference between advanced and backward, even the war in the form of slave society is more simple and cruel than in the dynastic era.
After talking and sighing, Tang Cheng didn't delay any longer to open the ban on weapons against Domobu, and at the same time picked up his tired body from the successive hurries a few days ago and rushed to the Yusuo Department at the contact point of the soldiers.
From the very beginning of the contact with the Yu Suo Feng cavalry to enter the camp station, Tang Cheng's trip to the Yu Suo Department was really tortuous, he regretted it more than once along the way like being a prisoner, regretting why he didn't send someone to contact him first and ran into it, and when he finally saw Yu Suohai, his face was wonderful needless to say.
"The military power of the Yu Suo Department is so strong", looking at the Yu Suo Hai who approached with a smile on his face, Tang Cheng reached out and touched a scimitar that was monitoring him not far from his side, and sneered while his fingers slid lightly on the crescent-like cold blade: "If I remember correctly, this scimitar was sent to your department by a certain person who personally urged the caravan." Hmph, your hospitality's hospitality is really insightful."
"Presumptuous, who let you be so rude to Lord Sima, don't you hurry up and put it away", Yu Suohai just raised his eyes and shouted at those sergeants, but was coldly interrupted by Tang Cheng, "That's it, as soon as they met, they revealed their identities, but they still didn't escape this kind of encounter." At that time, the heart of the great nobleman who was looking forward to it was really like a cloud of hope for the dry earth, but why did the great nobleman come late, since he had the intention to show his military might in front of a certain person, why bother to make a show now."
In the previous meeting, Tang Cheng deliberately showed a mediocre official face who was anxious to be promoted to official wealth, especially when persuading the Ministry of Yu Suo to accept the "Military Law Servant", he deliberately showed this greedy and weak face to the fullest, speaking of which, this is the first time that Yu Suohai felt Tang Cheng's viper-like mouth, and the contrast was too great to react for a while, "This ...... It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
No matter how embarrassed Yu Suohai laughed, Tang Cheng walked towards the camp tent in front of him, and continued to sneer with a dead face as he walked: "This official is no matter how bad it is, it is also a six-rank Sima sent by the Son of Heaven, but when he came here, he was swords and arrows from these little pawns, calling back and forth. Hmph, it seems that Tuduobu is really right, you are really overbearing, not only do you look down on the official, but even the Heavenly Khan is not in your eyes."
Even if what Tang Cheng said was the truth, but in the future, after the war of the Yusuo Department ended to unify the grassland, even if it was a disdainful of the Heavenly Khan's edict, he would still have to have a copy, otherwise I don't know how many hands and tails he would have to add.
Who knew that the current Tang Cheng was stunned and became a bastard, Ren Yu Suohai explained for a long time, and then he popped out with a cold face, "This official is here on the order of the Son of Heaven, and your Yu Suo Department is so disrespectful to this official, it is a great disrespect to the Heavenly Khan!" ”。
After saying this, Tang Cheng, who was walking forward, suddenly turned around with a look of shame, raised his sleeves, and saw a black crossbow arrow shoot out, nailing it to the thigh of Xi Bing, who was standing closest to him with a knife.
The soldiers of the Rope Department rolled to the ground with a scream, and then heard the sound of drawing knives in the "brush", and dozens of scimitars with cold light lit up around them.
Looking at the scene in front of them, Zheng San and the others who came with him drew their swords to protect Tang Cheng, and they kept muttering in their hearts, "Tang Sima is not usually such a person, what's wrong today?" ”。
"Hmph, I don't look at what I am, I dare to call at the official, this time I didn't shoot in the chest, it's cheap, you cheap material", after saying this sentence with a strong force, Tang Cheng turned to Yu Suohai's face was a little better, "The official is also tired, Yu Suo is a nobleman, let's enter the account."
Yu Suohai's face changed and changed, and finally returned to his normal color, and after waving his hand to those tribal soldiers, he led Tang Cheng to the tent in front without saying a word.
Although this guy didn't say anything, he couldn't see the smile on his face, and after leading Tang Cheng into the tent and setting it up, he walked to the Yusuo flat leather tent not far away.
After seeing Yu Suohai come out of the account, Tang Cheng also accepted the faint expression on his face and smiled slightly.
If you come to the side, then don't blame me for being stunned!
There is only one person in the leather tent, this guy is just strong, and his facial features are extremely violent, especially his body is a head taller than the already burly Yu Suohai. Such a stature, coupled with such a look and the momentum of being a great patriarch, can really bring great coercion to the people he faces.
"He's here?" Seeing Yu Suohai coming in, Yu Suoping did not stop wiping the scimitar in his hand, and asked casually: "How is it, find out the purpose of his visit this time."
