Chapter 198: Slap your face hard
The horses' hooves clattered on the bluestone pavement of Lingzhou City, and a pair of eyes on both sides of the street were looking out through the cracks in the door.
Those ordinary people who were tired all night should have had a good rest at this time. But today is different, Lingzhou City has sent troops again, so these people who are extremely panicked have begun to consider whether to hide in the cave.
This is a deformed place, Qin Ze thinks so.
He rode on a small horse, followed by Sun Yufu. The other party was also free and easy, with a smile on his face, and kept looking around.
"The old man has been in Lingzhou City for almost three years, and the old man was here before His Majesty ascended the throne. The old man has always thought that one day, the people of Lingzhou City will be able to get out of the gloomy cave, but now it seems that even if I am given another three years, it will be useless. I don't want to ask for the way of Confucius and Mencius not to close the door at night, and not to leave the road behind. I just hope that these people can come out of the darkness and come to see our Tang Dynasty! β
Sun Yufu's mood today is high to a certain extent, and Qin Ze thinks that this is a kind of realm. It has the spirit of the poet Saint Du Fu's "tens of thousands of mansions, sheltering the world's poor people". But Qin Ze knew that it was only because of his disappointment in Cui Shi.
Everyone didn't know if they were going to the horse market this time, but at this time, he still sent Sun Yufu out without any scruples.
"If you are good, you will be good, and if you are poor, you will be good. Qin admired Sun's courage in joining the army. Qin Ze echoed with a smile.
"Haha~"
Sun Yufu shook his head and laughed twice, turned around and used his legs hard, and the war horse under his crotch rushed out.
Qin Ze also shook his head with a smile, and gave an order to everyone behind him, and the team rushed out of Lingzhou City.
Zhou Cheng, this kid is also physically tough, soaked in ice water for more than an hour, and finally let him survive. In fact, in the end, Qin Ze planned to get him two antipyretic pills to eat, but fortunately, this guy's body was strong enough. At this time, he took his scout team and went out to investigate the situation first.
Sun Yufu went out of the city to participate in the horse market, and Cheng Chumo couldn't go out anymore. If the two of them were ambushed and accidentally confessed to Xishan, the 2,000 soldiers of Zhichong Mansion would be regarded as having no generals at all.
So he could only straighten out the soldiers, thinking that as soon as there was an incident in front, he would immediately go to support.
It's just that what Qin Ze didn't expect was that when he left Lingzhou City, he saw the neatly dressed Lingzhou Don't Drive Cui Shi at a glance.
If you just look at his appearance, Cui Shi still looks like a dog. He has a long beard and a Confucian bun on his head. About thirty or forty years old, with his own dogleg Lingzhou Sima Dong Zhongshi.
Seeing the two of them, although a hundred hearts were reluctant. But Qin Ze still turned over and dismounted, and went with Sun Yufu to greet the two.
"Since the opening of the horse market with Xi Tu, I Lingzhou has exchanged more than 2,000 war horses for Datang. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this, and entrusting you and the others with this task this time is also a trust in you. β
Dong Sima, who was on the side, brought three bowls of wine and handed them to Qin Ze and the others.
Cui Shi arched his hand at Qin Ze and said, "Now that the situation in Lingzhou is turbulent, this horse market transaction may change. You two must be careful, if the situation is critical, don't pay attention to any war horses, just leave. β
He said that he died, this is a typical person with three sides and two knives. Dong Sima handed the wine bowl to Qin Ze and Sun Yufu, and Cui Shi himself had already picked up a bowl, raised the bowl at the two of them and said, "Drink to win!" β
Qin Ze really wanted to pick up the wine bowl and call it directly on Cui Shi's head. But after thinking about it, this can't do much harm to Cui Shi, and second, now is not the time after all. After all, he was going to burn the man in the other driving mansion, how could he smash it on a bowl of wine?
And Sun Yufu's face was obviously a little unkind, so he let Dong Sima hold it, but he didn't stretch out his hand.
Qin Ze smiled, stretched out his hand and picked up a bowl of wine, and also raised it to Cui Shi.
The other party smiled contemptuously, and the disdain was overflowing.
But then he couldn't laugh anymore, because Qin Ze was holding the wine bowl very exaggeratedly. Then he sniffed it with his nose, and finally shouted loudly, "Hey, why does this thing smell of pig dung?" β
His voice was very loud, and Chen Yanguan behind him could hear them clearly, and he also started laughing directly at the moment. Looking at Cui Shi's face again, he was almost out of the water, how could he not understand the meaning of Qin Ze's words.
"Haha, not to mention the smell of pig dung." Sun Yufu also laughed at this time and picked up a bowl of wine. drank it all very freely, and finally did not forget to purse his lips and said: "No wonder I saw someone sleeping in the pig cage before......"
His voice was so small that it sounded like he was talking to himself. But how could Cui Shi on the other side not hear it, and he almost fainted.
The person of the family is the most important lintel, and if the matter of Cui Erye drilling the pig cage spreads, his Cui family's face is estimated to be lost.
"Haha......"
Qin Ze and Sun Yufu didn't pay attention to Cui Shi, who was already about to run away, and directly saluted him and strode away.
A group of soldiers behind him also walked in front of Cui Shi with uniform steps......
It's a pleasure, but you have to be careful with it. It can be seen that Sun Yufu is also a bold person, even in the face of Cui Shi, who is the fourth grade, he is not afraid at all.
Although he Cui Shi is a different driver in Lingzhou, he really doesn't dare to do it casually, not to mention what Lingzhou City has become by him. Let's just say that Sun Yufu's status in the hearts of the soldiers of Lingzhou City is also stronger than Cui Shi.
"Haha, it's been a long time since I've had this pleasure. Even if he goes today, he really can't come back, and the old man is satisfied. Sun Yufu laughed and said.
"What do you mean by Sun joining the army?" Qin Ze obviously heard the tragedy in the other party's words.
"Since the old man stepped into Lingzhou City, he has been ready to sacrifice at any time. I used to want to help Cui Beijia govern Lingzhou, but look at what Lingzhou has become now? The people are not happy, but the surname Cui is good, since he came to Lingzhou City, he has built three other driving mansions for himself in one go.
Do you know why the people of Lingzhou City dare not come out during the day? Because they were afraid, because of their other drivers, when the Turkic army attacked, they directly abandoned the city and fled. So I don't blame these people, I only hate that the person surnamed Cui was born in a good family. β
Sun Yufu was obviously angered by Cui Shi's attitude before, and told Qin Ze about these things in Lingzhou City for the first time.
In fact, it is a clichΓ© story, a person from a family like Cui Shi has been dealing with Confucian classics all his life, so it is strange that he came to this chaotic Lingzhou and did not run away.
"That's right, this Lingzhou City is in chaos, if one is not careful, let's not drive the adults to make a mess, wouldn't we have no choice?" Qin Ze looked at Sun Yufu and said with a smile: "You have to slap your face hard, and you don't need a knife to kill people." β
"Haha~ As long as the old man can survive this time, even if the old man is one." Sun Yufu laughed heartily, and echoed with all the deep meaning.
The two chattered, but they slowly approached Xi Mountain. This time he didn't have to hide at all. A team of three hundred people, plus a thousand stone grains lined up behind them. As long as the Turks are not blind, they will definitely be able to see them, so it is useless to hide.
came to the dense forest where Chen Yanguan and them were hiding before, and the team was divided into two here. Qin Ze asked Chen Yanguan to stay here with a hundred people.
It is necessary to ensure that their back road is unblocked, otherwise once the back road is cut off by the Turks, it will really be finished.
At this time, on the top of Xi Mountain, the people of the Tiele tribe finally found Tieler's body at the bottom of the mountain. No one suspected that Zhou Cheng was stealing beams and changing pillars, but he was just a person who looked like a general on Xi Mountain, but his body suddenly stiffened.
Tie Legu stood on the peak of Gagar, his eyes almost darting out of his sockets. He could never have imagined that he would see that young man here.
This time, their original plan was to trap Cheng Chumo, who participated in the horse market in the future, and then lead the soldiers of Lingzhou City out of the city. But now look at it......
Tie Legu suddenly remembered the scene before A's death, and he remembered the young man's cold, pitiful gaze. That was the demon in his heart, the last person he wanted to face in this world.
"Why him?"
Iron Bone looked up at the sky, and no one knew who he was talking to.
"Give the order, everyone put on their armor and get on their horses, and wait for my order."
At this point, he had no choice but to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
He had 1,500 soldiers, but looking at Qin Ze's appearance, there were only 300 people, which was a five-fold difference. It stands to reason that Tie Le Gu is already in his hands, but his heart is still very uneasy.
In the battle of Yan'er Mountain, the most terrifying thing was not the iron that would explode. The scariest thing is that you never know if a team of people will rush out behind you.
Soldiers' deeds!
This is Tie Legu's evaluation of Qin Ze.
Because you never know when Qin Ze's soldiers and horses will appear behind you, as if everything you do, you can't escape his eyes.
What Tielert didn't know was that Qin Ze already knew how many men and horses he had this time, and where they were all stationed.
It's just that Qin Ze pretended to be ignorant and continued to approach the foot of Xishan Mountain.
Far away, he saw more than a hundred Turkic men, leading more than a hundred horses to stand at the foot of Xi Mountain.
These are the Xi Tu people who came to trade with Qin Ze, a thousand stones of grain for a hundred war horses. This seems extremely unfair, but you must know that the horses that Xi Tu used to exchange were not castrated.
This also means that as long as there are these 100 horses, Datang can slowly improve their local horses.
The transaction is a matter of Sun Yufu, and it can be seen that the other party doesn't know how dangerous this transaction is, and is still greeting Sun Yufu one by one.
Several Turks came up and went to inspect their grain. It could be seen that they were very happy, and Qin Ze took the opportunity to take out a table like a trick, then took out a dozen bowls, and began to pour butter tea into it.
His movement, almost as if it was magnetic, directly attracted the gaze of the surrounding Turks.
The taste gene is really powerful!
