Chapter 796: The Pegasus Deal

ps: Thank you for the book friends whose hearts float and want to write, the monthly pass support of the Eagle of the People's Liberation Army.

This time, as soon as Liu Quan heard that Yang Guang was going to kill all of them and completely eliminate Fuyun Khan, he came up with this plan, took the initiative to invite Ying, and invited Wang Shichong to come out together by the way to see if there were any better business opportunities on the Western Regions Road.

Wang Shichong did not explain to Liu Quan what he was preparing to do in the future, according to his observation, this has been in the Northern Qi, Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasty veterans, although not too much loyalty, but also not ambitious, want to change the dynasty, he lives in Suzhou, is an important place in the south of the Yangtze River, the people are weak, and it is not suitable for the production of elite soldiers, if in the Taiping period, this Suzhou city as a source of trade routes, naturally the most suitable, but if it is in troubled times, it is very difficult to stand on its own feet according to this.

Besides, Liu Quan himself is not even a famous family in the north, at best, he can only be regarded as a local tyrant in Pengcheng, and he can't expect such a person to achieve great things in troubled times, and his son Liu Shiche is uninhibited, likes rangers, and makes friends with bandits, no matter from which angle, it is not a good thing to get involved in such a person, so for many years, the relationship between Wang Shichong and this Liu Quan is purely just business, and he has not revealed a single star about the major events planned in the future.

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Brother Shiluo (Liu Quan's character), I've been thinking about a question, if we can really meet Fuyun Khan at that time, can we let him go so easily?" Or after capturing him, forcing him to surrender, and then bringing him to the Supreme to ask for merit? ā€

Liu Quan waved his hand: "This matter must not be done, I understand the character of Fu Yun Khan, that is an arrogant and untamed guy." I'd rather die than surrender. So I'm not going to meet him. Even if he encounters it, it will only let him leave quietly, and he will not be captured alive, Xingman, I have been to the West Sea before, and I know that there is a small tribe of Tuyuhun there, and when the time comes, we will make a show and defeat this tribe. Even if you can make a difference. ā€

Wang Shichong's brows furrowed: "What's the use of only defeating one Tuyuhun tribe, if you don't catch Fuyun Khan, the Supreme will not be satisfied, and you won't reward us." ā€

Liu Quan laughed: "Xingman, don't you know, this time we went to the West Sea, but the legendary place where the Pegasus was born, the most valuable thing in Tuyuhun is the West Sea Pegasus, as long as you can get a few, it will be worth the trip." ā€

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Do you believe that rumor too?" I haven't seen this Pegasus in years. I didn't get a lot of money before. ā€

Liu Quan said mysteriously: "This Tianma also depends on timing. It is said that every winter in the Tuyuhun people, the West Sea freezes. Then the Tuyuhun people will put the best Qinghai mares on the small island in the middle of the West Sea, and then break the ice, until the next winter, the West Sea freezes again, and the Tuyuhun people go to the island again, it is said that they can get the West Sea Pegasus that travels thousands of miles a day, twelve years ago, there were three Pegasus, one dedicated to the Western Turkic Datou Khan, one to the first emperor, that is, Zhulong Baoma, and the other is the mount of the former Tuyuhun Kwaru Khan. ā€

Wang Shichong sighed: "But even so, there has been no Pegasus for more than ten years, why are you in a hurry at this time?" ā€

Liu Quan's eyes were shining: "No, this time may be the only chance in this life, Tianma is extremely rare, even if there are a few horses, I'm afraid those Tuyuhun people will also have it, or pay tribute to the Supreme, will not sell it to us, this time is a rare opportunity, calculate the time, we will take a detour to Yiwu, and then go to the West Sea, it is almost the beginning of spring, when the Tuyuhun people will leave some people on the West Sea to guard the Tianma, we just need to kill these guarding herdsmen, cut off the head to repay the merit, Then even if you can't get Tianma, you won't have any loss, after all, if you kill the Tuyuhun people, you won't return in vain. ā€

Wang Shichong frowned: "But if you get Tianma, what can you do?" We brought more than 10,000 elites to ride over, and there are many people, so it is unlikely that this matter will be hidden from everyone. ā€

Liu Quan laughed: "There are not many people who know the secret of the Tuyuhun people and horses, those sergeants are all coming with the army, and they won't pay too much attention to a small island in the middle of the lake, and when the time comes, they will destroy all of them, these cavalrymen have won the first level of combat exploits, and they will probably not pay attention to the affairs of a small island in the middle of the lake. ā€

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Brother Shiluo's idea is quite shrewd, but you can complete this matter alone, why do you want to pull me?" ā€

Liu Quan smiled embarrassedly: "Brother, you have been walking the trade of the West Sea all the year round, and you know the terrain here well, I know, it is that Pei Shilang, my understanding of the West Sea area is probably not as good as you, although I have been to this Tuyuhun, but I have never been to the West Sea, in case you miss the time, then you will miss the annual opportunity to collect Tianma, so this time you must be accompanied by your brother." ā€

Wang Shichong smiled: "Then what if there is only one Pegasus this time? ā€

The smile on Liu Quan's face froze, he gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, you have been trading this Turkic and Tuyuhun famous horse for many years, and you don't care about a heavenly horse, and I have no other preferences in my life, I just want a good horse and a BMW, if you are willing to give it to me, I will exchange it for ten Qinghai horses and sweat and blood BMW, how about it?" ā€

Wang Shichong smiled and waved his hand: "I know that your brother likes this heavenly horse, just talk about it, if there is one, of course I will not fight with you, but the other mares and foals of Qinghai Cong, when the time comes, you will leave it to me, and also, Brother Shiluo, your father (uncle) General Liu Lie, now seems to be the general of Wu County (since Yang Guang abolished the state as a county, Suzhou was renamed Wu County)." ā€

Liu Quan nodded: "Yes, my uncle's age is a few years younger than me, what is Xingman asking for?" ā€

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "You are now a guard lieutenant, and you are in charge of the soldiers, and you can send these beloved war horses to live in the army, but I only have a civilian job now." There is no military general. If there is a large number of military horses. Only the faction will give people a mouthful, and the supreme person is also more cautious, since Yang Liang's rebellion, it is even more so, so the horses I brought this time, including the war horses I got in the future, want to store them with Uncle ZĆ i Ling, as the military horses of Wu County. I wonder if it can be convenient? ā€

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Liu Quan's face: "This, when I was the assassin of Suzhou before, naturally there was no problem, but now the hussar mansions in various places have been promoted to the Yingyang Mansion, and the control of military horses has also been strengthened, plus my uncle is not me after all, if something happens at that time, I can't explain it, can't you put these horses in my guard?" ā€

Wang Shichong shook his head, and his eyes flashed: "No." To be honest, the position of a guard lieutenant can change at any time. In case the Supreme comes down with an edict and lets you be appointed as an official, these horses will not be easy to handle, and the Ying Yanglang in Wu County will generally be appointed by the local clan, so that the uncle will be there for many years, and the light yƬ will not change, so it is better to put it there. ā€

Liu Quan gritted his teeth: "Then, if this time I can get the county guard or the chief manager in the Tuyuhun area because of my merits, will you put these military horses here with me?" ā€

Wang Shichong smiled slightly, what he was waiting for was Liu Quan's words: "Brother Shiluo, you are now Wei Weiqing, the third grade of official residence, how can you deign to come to this Tuyuhun land to be a county guard?" The counties of the Great Sui are divided by population, and you are at most a middle county here, and it is a fourth-grade official position, isn't this too wronged for you. ā€

Liu Quan smiled and waved his hand: "That's because of this, so no one wants to come here to be a assassin, and if I make a meritorious service this time, and I am willing to take the initiative to demote myself to guard here, Yang Guang will definitely not be able to ask for it, and then the thousands of miles of grassland in the land of the river will belong to me, if you want to keep horses and raise horses, don't you want to cooperate with me?" ā€

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Then if you become a county guard here in the future, how will you get along with Fuyun Khan?" If you don't destroy him, he will keep coming and harassing him, and you are not a good county guard. ā€

Liu Quan sighed: "This is exactly a problem, I insist on you coming with me this time, a very important reason is that I want you to think of a way to help me think of a way, what are some good ideas to help me think about it, now this is a very troublesome matter, how to deal with the relationship with Fuyun Khan, this will determine whether I can be a good county guard in Tuyuhun in the future." ā€

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "What do you think?" ā€

Liu Quan shook his head: "Actually, I don't think that this time Fu Yun Khan can escape, I have been to Fu Qi City, it is a huge valley, the valley is a hundred miles in circumference, there are patches of grassland, and that Fu Qi City is guarding the passage into the mountain, blocking the direction of external attacks, it can be said that if you want to break in, it is difficult to climb to the sky, but on the other hand, if you want to break through, it is also difficult to climb to the sky." ā€

Wang Shichong nodded: "I haven't been to Fu Qi City, but listening to what your brother said, the only way to let Fu Yun Khan escape this catastrophe is to let him escape first." ā€

Liu Quan was slightly stunned: "How could he give up his hundreds of thousands of troops and escape alone?" ā€

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "These barbarian leaders on the grassland are all temperamental, when the catastrophe comes, save your life first, if someone informs Fuyun Khan of the crisis he is facing now, let him keep the fire, I think he will not refuse, even if he can't escape, he will let his son take some cronies to escape, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood." ā€

Liu Quan gritted his teeth: "Brother Wang, what do you mean, do you want me to send someone to inform?" ā€

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "If you want to sit firmly in the position of this Tuyuhun county guard in the future, you have to do this, this is your problem, not mine, if you eliminate the Tuyuhun headquarters, those fish and Qiang people who have slipped through the net will hate you to the bone, after the army retreats, you will defend this place independently, they will keep making trouble for you, and when the time comes, you don't want to collect these famous horses, even if you own your own territory, you may not be able to keep it." ā€

Liu Quan's eyes sparkled: "Is there no other way?" Do I have to send someone to inform? ā€

Wang Shichong nodded: "Now judging from Bai Shuiqiang's situation, they don't know that this time the Supreme is the Imperial Commander and has dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, and although Tuyuhun's headquarters was defeated by Yuwenshu's front troops, they must not have expected the Supreme to be so determined this time, so you send someone to inform him at this time, this is a move to send charcoal in the snow, and it will definitely make Fu Yun Khan grateful for a lifetime, and even persuade him to temporarily soften and surrender to the Sui army, it is not unacceptable, if he can't save this face, It's okay to let his son lead his troops to surrender, anyway, it is impossible for the army to stay here for a lifetime, and after retiring, this is still his world! ā€

The corners of Liu Quan's mouth hooked: "But if this Fuyun Khan continues to be the king here, then what am I?" I, the future Tuyuhun county guard, still have to please this Fuyun Khan? ā€

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Brother, do you think that this land of rivers and rivers, thousands of miles of grassland, can be like our Han Central Plains, where we can return to grazing and cultivate?" Can we get thousands of miles of fertile land here and attract a large number of Han people to settle here? ā€

Liu Quan shook his head: "At least in the years that I have been the county guard, I don't expect this prairie to become a fertile land, what, Brother Wang, do you mean, I still have to rely on this Fuyun Khan and control this Hehuang grassland?" ā€

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yes, after all, the Tuyuhun headquarters has been operating here for hundreds of years, and its prestige is not comparable to other small tribes, if you have a good relationship with Fuyun Khan, then it is naturally the best result for him to suppress these small tribes on your behalf, look at General Changsun Sheng, who single-handedly brought down the Turks, didn't he rely on his special relationship with Qimin Khan, and now he still firmly controls the Turkic Monan grassland?" ā€

Liu Quan's heart moved: "By the way, why didn't I see General Changsun accompanying me this time?" Although General Changsun is mainly familiar with Turkic affairs, he will not bring him out when he conquers Tuyuhun, in fact, I was a little worried, if he was there, this mission would not fall on my head. ā€

Wang Shichong sighed softly, and a look of loneliness flashed in his eyes: "General Changsun has been sick in bed for several months, as far as I know, I am only afraid that my life will not be long. Alas, perhaps with his death, a new round of reshuffle and turmoil among the Guanlong nobles, marriage and standing in line, is coming. ā€

Liu Quan looked at Wang Shichong in a daze, his mouth was wide open, enough to stuff a rice ball, and he couldn't say a word. (To be continued......) R1292
