Chapter 430: Return
Looking at the battle of the black-armored officers, Zhang Yi and Xu Jingzong glanced at each other, they also knew that they were in trouble today, and they estimated that they would not be able to solve it by relying on Sahazhuo alone.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yi rode out.
"Your Excellency General, may you say a few words?"
Seeing that Zhang Yi was dressed luxuriously, and he was with Sahazhuo, and he was the owner of these horses, there was no reason for the black-armored officer not to let Zhang Yi speak.
He didn't speak, but acquiesced, acquiescing.
Zhang Yi pointed to himself and Sahazhuo, and then pointed to the black-armored officer and said slowly: "We are the people, you are the officials, why should your affairs be involved in us, and besides, you Tubo did not issue a ban saying that trade was not allowed, let alone that horses were not within the scope of trade.
Since you didn't say it at the beginning, now that we've spent money on horses, why can't we take our own things with us, in other words, my own horses, why can't I bring them back?"
As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, the black-armored officer said with a smile: "Don't bother with me so much, I said no, then these horses have to stay, even if you have a three-inch tongue, it is useless." ”
No matter what Zhang Yi said, the black-armored officer had this attitude, and he didn't get in.
The so-called Xiucai meets a soldier, it is unreasonable, it is like this, no matter what you say, as long as the soldier recognizes a dead reason, then he will not care about you, he will do it according to his own ideas.
Zhang Yi sighed and continued: "We are businessmen, and we have a long-term cooperation with Lord Sahazhuo this time, we will not be stupid enough to let Datang go to war with Tubo, once the war starts, we will not be able to continue to do business."
Merchants, the most important thing is interests, in addition, there is nothing else, this batch of horses, is already our biggest capital, if it is placed in Tibet, then we will not have the capital to buy goods back, then at that time, Lord Sahazhuo will have to suffer a lot of losses.
Moreover, now due to the turmoil, many merchants of Datang are waiting, and we are the first batch of merchants to come to Qingtang to run goods, if we have no money, then, Datang merchants will lose confidence in Tubo! ”
Zhang Yi This is a naked threat, if you don't let me go back with these horses, then I have no money to buy goods, and I won't be able to come to Qingtang to do business in the future, then Sahazhuo will definitely suffer losses, and the nobles of Qingtang will stop doing it.
Also, after I go back, I will help you add some materials, and give you publicity, saying that the Tubo people will rob the Tang people when they see them, even if they have the protection of the Tubo nobles, it is useless, so that no one dares to come to Qingtang to run the goods anymore.
You must know that many things in Tubo need to be imported from Datang, if Datang merchants dare not come to Qingtang to run goods, it will not take a few months, Tubo's domestic economy will have huge turmoil, and it is even very likely to lead to the economic collapse of Tubo and cause a certain degree of turmoil.
Sure enough, when Mo Ben said this, the black-armored officer hesitated a little, although his duty was to guard the frontier and catch people like Zhang Yi by the way.
But once it comes to a higher level, he doesn't dare to make this decision, if it's really as serious as Zhang Yi said, then he has ten heads that are not enough to cut off.
But just let them go like this, he was unwilling, from Zhang Yi's group, he smelled a dangerous aura, these people didn't look like ordinary merchants.
Since he didn't make a decision, he decided to drag it out, and if he delayed it first, things might take a turn for the better.
Therefore, the black-armored officer did not speak, just remained silent, while those Tibetan soldiers still surrounded Zhang Yi and them.
The black-armored officer didn't speak, this can be regarded as an improvement, Zhang Yi knew that that guy was starting to waver, he only needed to give him a little more pressure, and he would let him go!
So Zhang Yi continued to add bricks and tiles and said: "If the general still doesn't believe us, and thinks that we will collude with the army of the Tang Dynasty, then please ask Lord Sahazhuo what we are doing to make a deal with him!" ”
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he looked at Sahazhuo, and the black-armored general also looked at Sahazhuo when he heard Zhang Yi's words, he didn't know what kind of thing he could exchange for so many good horses.
Sahazhuo glanced at Zhang Yi, and said to the black-armored general with a deep groan: "To tell you the truth, what this Datang merchant sold me is green salt, and it is the best green salt in Datang, not the inferior salt we usually see in the market. ”
After Sahazhuo finished speaking, he didn't forget to praise Zhang Yi for how good their green salt was.
"Green salt!" When the Black Armor General heard this word, his two eyes suddenly rolled.
"Qingyan is controlled by the Datang government, how can you ordinary merchants be qualified to get so much green salt, you say this, I think you have colluded with the Datang government to use Qingyan to deceive the horses that the Tang army urgently needs!"
The black-armored officer squinted his eyes and analyzed, but in fact, he didn't believe his own words, if these Tang people were really from the Tang Dynasty, then they had countless ways to transport these horses out, and they didn't need to look for Sahazhuo at all.
And Zhang Yi also laughed after listening to the words of the black armor general.
"Let's tell you the truth, General, the merchant is just one of our identities, our other identity is the people in the green forest, and most of our sources of goods are obtained from the government, and even many of them are obtained from the military quartermasters of the Tang Dynasty.
When I say this, does the general still think that we will collude with the Tang Dynasty? ”
Zhang Yi said with a smile, and at the same time, Yue Shiyi and Wang Wu and others behind him also cooperated very well to reveal the unique temperament of a hero in the green forest.
The black armor general looked at Zhang Yi and the others suspiciously, and Zhang Yi could explain what he said.
The more than 100 Tang people behind him, not to mention, all have weapons hidden, and many of them are practitioners, which can't be hidden from the eyes of the black armor general, which is also a big reason why he has been blocking Zhang Yi and others.
But now that Zhang Yi has explained this, it seems that everything is reasonable, and it is normal for the heroes of the green forest to be like this everywhere.
And if they are really trading green salt, then they can basically determine the identity of these guys, either the government or the green forest heroes, but at present, the probability of the latter is relatively large, after all, now the Tang Dynasty is eager to carry out an economic blockade of Tubo, and there will also send people to run the goods.
After everything was explained, the black-armored general still chose to give way.
Although he was unwilling to watch so many horses leave Tibet, thinking that the other party was from the green forest, it was likely that he would be armed with more powerful bandit forces with these horses, and they would be able to pose a greater threat to the Tang army at that time.
They are equivalent to their allies!
