Chapter 99: Rift (3)
Inside the Touman military tent.
After a short period of fainting, Jiang Shangren regained consciousness, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and couldn't help but snort, and then a mouthful of blood protruded.
"Mr. Jiang, you're awake, you're finally awake!" Tou Man said in surprise: "Kunlun God bless! ”
"Water!" Jiang Shangren said weakly, his voice was subtle and hoarse. Hearing this, the maid hurriedly served tea and poured water, waiting for Jiang Shangren to quench her thirst. After a busy moment, Jiang Shangren felt much more comfortable.
Lying back on the bed, he waved his hand and ordered the maid to leave, leaving the space for him and Touman.
"Mr. Jiang, what do you have to say!" Touman was the first to ask.
"I want to tell Brother Touman that the retreat has been exhausted and forbearance is useless, and now it has become a situation where there is no need to endure it anymore." Jiang Shangren said earnestly and persuasively.
"General Qi dared to swear to the Kunlun God that the assassination might really have nothing to do with him." Touman still replied hesitantly: "Maybe someone framed and provoked, let's check the identity of the assassin carefully!" ”
"When the interruption continues, the chaos is endured, and beware of the other party doing something big again!" Jiang Shangren persuaded again in an impassioned tone.
Tou Man shook his head when he heard this, sighed and said, "No, no!" Let's take a look again! ”。 After speaking, he walked out of the military tent with a somewhat unsettled expression.
"Find a chance to finish off the assassins!" After Touman left, Jiang Shangren muttered out of thin air, and then a "no" came from a corner of the tent.
At the same time, in the General Bureau, a discussion that gathered several cronies was also unfolding.
"Ashina, that assassin came with you, did you do it!" General Qi asked angrily.
"Brother Yi, you should have always known my temperament, if I arranged it, then Touman would definitely not be spared!" Shan Yumi's envoy Ashina said unhurriedly.
"Then why would your guards attack and assassinate such a despicable thing!" General Ji angrily accused: "Isn't this trapping me in an unkind and unjust place? ”
Hearing this, Ashina said to General Xi unhurriedly: "As far as I know, that assassin is an agent sent by Zhao Guo to Shan Yu's side, as evidenced by the letter that Shan Yu just delivered!" ”
General Xi asked with deep suspicion, "You mean that the assassin was sent by the Zhao people?" ”
"Yes, the assassination is a step written and directed by Zhao Guoren, the purpose is to pour dirty water on you, so that you can smoothly support Touman to take the position!" Ashina gritted his teeth and said, "The traitor Touman must also be involved." ”
"What proof!" General Xi still didn't believe Ashina, and continued to ask.
Ashina shook his head and excitedly defended: "Brother Yi, don't fall for the way of a traitor, he will regret it in the future!" ”
"Ashina, let's go, there's no room for you here!" General Qi slowly closed his eyes, not looking at Ashina's argument, and ordered with a slightly unbearable expression.
Interests drive the development of all things in the world, and the complex multi-party demands determine that the assassin incident will continue to ferment. Three days later, the assassin died suddenly in prison, and a killer committed suicide by his side.
It was day and night, Jiang Shangren, who was recuperating from his injuries, met with Touman, and the two sides talked secretly for an hour, and Ashina, who had not yet gone far, was also taken back to Zamu and the Ministry by General Xi.
————————————————————————————————————
In the midsummer of the seventh year of King Zhao Xiaocheng, with the expectation of Li Mu and other Datong officials, Jiang Shangren once again took his caravan into the grassland. The scorching summer scorched everything in the world, but it still couldn't stop him from moving towards the pinnacle of life.
At a slight fork in the road, which was still far from the grazing area of the Zha Mu and the Division, the caravan skillfully diverted a small group and went in a completely different direction from the larger army. After going around for a long time, Jiang Shangren personally led this detachment into a heavily guarded secret military garrison.
Touman personally greeted the caravan at the Thorn Gate, and when he saw Jiang Shangren, he couldn't wait to ask, "Did you bring what I wanted?" ”
"Don't worry, I've brought it, right behind me! Ten carts of bows and arrows, five carts of iron swords, two carts of armor, and three carts of leather armor! Jiang Shangren continued to ask in a low voice: "With the weapons and armor sent before, at least three thousand people can be equipped." ”
"Not enough, I need more weapons and equipment!" Touman Lion opened his mouth and said, "At least two thousand people need to be equipped, so as to ensure victory!" ”
"Your current equipment can be regarded as the only one on the grassland!" Jiang Shangren said in surprise: "Who can still fight with you!" ”
"Mr. Jiang doesn't know, my influence in the tribe is getting worse and worse now, and it can be said that it is difficult to move forward in the tribe!" Tou Man said angrily: "General Ji not only wantonly weakened my control over the army on the grounds that there was no war, but also firmly grasped the distribution of materials in his hands, and now he has used the weapons and armor he traded with you to equip more than 2,000 people. ”
"Isn't that inferior to you?" Jiang Shangren asked without thinking, "Do you have anything to worry about?" ”
"But according to reliable information, General Qi has colluded with the Xiongnu, once he turns his back, I will face the strongest man in this grassland, so I must not be cautious!" Tou Man said earnestly.
"Why don't you join forces with us?" Jiang Shangren came out coldly: "I, Lord Li, the county guard of Datong, have always wanted to cooperate with the general further!" ”
"Don't forget, I'm a Huns, isn't Lord Li afraid that I will sell him?" Tou Mangujing said without waves: "And my subordinates are all Huns, I'm afraid that once I unite with you, my subordinates will abandon me!" ”
"But what if we send troops to help my brother defeat the enemy?" Jiang Shangren continued: "Once the Xiongnu Shan Yu attacks your department, our army will dispatch the camera to strangle the Xiongnu Shan Yu department!" ”
"But how do I know that you are not here to take my home and occupy my pasture?" Touman continued to ask defensively.
"The grassland is the grassland of the Huns, how can my Zhao State occupy its land! Even if our army occupies the land of the Er tribe, the migrants can live elsewhere, so why mind! Jiang Shangren said earnestly: "Besides, even without the help of Brother Touman, we will still go north." The battle between Zhao and Hun is inevitable, our side is confident and capable of winning, and the only difference is the fate of your department! ”
"Listen to what you say, Lord Li's plan is not small!" Zha Muhe's eyes rolled, and he instantly understood what Jiang Shangren meant, and he asked with an ambiguous expression: "But if I cooperate with adults, what can I get?" ”
"As long as you don't resist my army, you can choose the land in front of you!" Jiang Shangren's arm turned down slightly, pointing to the grass in the distance.
"Just a choice?" Tou Man smiled slightly: "Tell your lord, if you want me to agree to cooperate, don't let me choose Tou Man." ”
Jiang Shangren also smiled when he heard this: "Brother Touman, aren't you afraid of choking?" ”
"I am a Huns, born and raised in Si, familiar with everything here, understand the environment here, how can I choke?" Touman said confidently.
