Section 19 Li Desheng and Jia Ren (I)
Maybe it was because Shizhou or Shenduiyi's vigilance was a little lax, or maybe they felt that a cavalry team of only four hundred people could not threaten them, so they didn't care about the transit of this team, and didn't even send anyone to inquire, Luo Kai first left there with doubts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Unlike Shenduiyi, Yinzhou's defenses or guards are much tighter.
At the end of the afternoon, that is, before five o'clock, before dusk, Luo Kaixian led his team to the outskirts of Yinzhou.
As soon as Pu arrived, he found a flat area under a low stone mountain, and everyone had just dismounted and was busy setting up camp, when a small group of soldiers wearing animal skin hats rode to inquire about it.
"Hey...... You, where do you come from? What do you do in Yinzhou? "The leader was a fairly strong party man, riding an equally strong party horse, and when he spoke, the horizontal flesh on his face looked very hideous, but the vill at the beginning betrayed him—this guy was not so fearless as he looked.
As for the Dangxiang horse, it is a horse bred by the Dangxiang people to capture the wild horses of Hexi, Qingtang and even the Mobei grassland, and the endurance is acceptable, and the explosive power and comprehensive physical parameters are far worse than the Akhal-Tejin horse.
He was greeted by Olki, who was followed by several of his own soldiers who were in charge of the guard, and in the distance an uncertain number of men carrying bows and quivers.
"Lingzhou is here! Pass by! What do you want to do? Olki's reply was brief, and his demeanor was even more guarded.
There was no attentive face facing the inspection, and there was no lowly face of the local snake of some remote tribes, which was not at all like the performance of a small tribe, which made the leader a little angry, and he shouted in a short and rapid party language: "Of the Uta tribe? Your leader, Gorzydon, doesn't dare to be presumptuous when he comes here, who are you? ”
Fortunately, this guy is not a daredevil, he can see that this group of people is not easy to mess with, and he didn't say anything out of line, once he has any out-of-character behavior, I'm afraid that the archers in the distance will shoot the arrows that have been wound up as soon as possible - there is no shortage of arrogant guys under Luo Kaixian, and Donglai has seen too many so-called strongmen along the way, and most of them are now buried in some unknown underground.
Alki raised his palm, stopped the soldiers beside him and behind him, he learned some simple party language, and even guessed that Dimon understood what this guy who came over rashly was talking about, so he calmly replied in Chinese: "Uta Ministry? There has been no Uta Department for a long time, their people are all dead, we are the Tang people who have returned to the east, and now we are stationed in Lingzhou, and the current general Luo Kaixian of the East return is here! Who are you? Don't say the name, is it a horse bandit? ”
“…… You! The leader was tempted to take the opportunity to get angry, as he had done in the past, and then extort some money—that was the preserve of the serpent, but out of caution, he carefully and quickly took a look at the busy team, which was very strong, and no one was thinner than him at will, and everyone's momentum was not simple, they were clearly elite warriors, and in the face of his cavalry of more than twenty people, there were less than ten people to deal with them, and the rest were busy with their own people, and there were occasional passers-by, It was just a disdainful glance, and then he was busy again.
These guys are not easy to mess with! The leader immediately came to the right conclusion, and also stopped the frizzy guy behind him, his attitude softened, and he continued in Chinese: "I, under the command of Li Desheng, the general of the Yinzhou defense envoy of the Dingyan Army, and the left army is also waiting for Wukule, I was ordered to inspect the surrounding areas of Yinzhou, and I dare not ignore it......
The other party officially introduced his identity, and Alki also formalized, "Some, Alki, the captain of the personal guard next to Luo Kaixian, the general of Lingzhou Donggui, is going to Song Land with the general today, and he has reported in Xiazhou before, if you don't know, you can go and ask your general!" ”
The answer to the "......" was enough to explain where the other party came from, but Okhi's tone made Ukule a little unhappy, and he didn't know if he should find another excuse to get the extra money he "deserved".
When Ukule hesitated, a rider at his side approached him and whispered in his ear: "Ukule, someone has indeed come from Xiazhou to report to the general a few days ago...... The name Luo Kaixian, don't you think it's familiar? Think about those rumors I heard a month ago......"
"Immortal Heavenly ......" Ukule suddenly remembered what the deputy said, he once thought that the person who was very far away had appeared in front of him, and the sun had not yet set, but he felt that he had been stunned for half a winter, so he jumped off the horse in a panic and stood respectfully in front of Olki, "Captain Olki, please forgive me for being disrespectful, I will report to the general later, I don't know what General Luo needs?" ”
This is what Gong Gong said, and even in Rome there was no shortage of such examples, and Alki did not bother to deal with such people, who were under the influence of a certain man, and his subordinates had such a mind.
After a few casual explanations, Alki sent away the guy who appeared rashly, and then reported the matter to Luo Kaixian at dinner, "General, will I deal with it like this...... Appropriate? ”
"Well, Olki, you did a good job, it seems that you will soon become a real Han Chinese, maybe you can replace Li Zheng in the future to do some errands in Honglu Temple!" Hearing that Alki was very proficient in using new words in Chinese, Luo Kaixian joked in a relaxed tone, as for the contact with the people of Yinzhou, he was not worried at all that something would go wrong.
"General, I know what Hulusi does, they are all mouthfuls, I'm not a ...... Okie," the captain of the guard couldn't help but argue.
"Okay, got it, but you're talking about Honglu Temple...... It's not a gourd silk...... Ha ha! ”
"Oh, Fluus......"
"Haha!" Luo Kaixian let go of a rare smile.
Next to him, seeing the man relax, the two little ladies also laughed.
Olki was very calm on the side - there were many clans in the team, and he learned the language, and he didn't know how many jokes he made, his homophonic fun was really pediatric, and as a person close to the general, it was really nothing to let the general laugh a few words.
While a few people were laughing, a sentry guarding outside the camp ran over and said, "Report...... General, there is a team of people outside the camp, led by Li Desheng, the defense envoy of Yinzhou, who asks to see the general! ”
……
According to the customs of this era, it is not necessary for a woman to greet guests, so after arranging two little ladies to avoid, Luo Kai first brought more than a dozen personal guards out to greet him, he thought that the party member named Li Desheng must be a strong man with a beard and squinting eyes, but he didn't expect that the Yinzhou defense envoy was actually a slender face with a few strands of short hair left in a Han scholarly robe, if it weren't for the characteristics similar to Li Deming that could be vaguely seen between his eyebrows and eyes, he would definitely regard the other party as a rich Han man.
As soon as Pu met, after greeting each other a little politely, this "rich man" pulled over a person next to him who was richer than him, and said: "General Luo came so fast, my brother Deming sent a letter to me the day before yesterday, and once said that the general wanted to borrow the road to the east, and it happened that I had a friend from Song Di who missed the trip, I don't know if I can go all the way with the general?" Oh, he's ......"
"Thank you Li Fangfang, I have met the respected General Luo, please allow the contemptible person to introduce himself!" The rich man pushed Li Desheng's arm, made a long bow with both hands in fists, and finished all this, he began to say with a smile before he spoke: "The surname of the contemptible person is Jia, the name is benevolent, the benevolence of benevolence and righteousness, the word is prevalent, the prosperity of abundance, the line of walking, the general can call the contemptible people to prevail, the contemptible people are from Bianliang, Tokyo, and the ancestors have made a living by trafficking grassland skins to the Central Plains for generations, and also provide cloth, salt, tea and seafood for the grasslands. ”
It is important to say that since ancient times, merchants have been creatures that are more capable of survival than weeds.
interrupting others, but not causing resentment; There is a contemptible sentence in every sentence, but it is not inferior; Laughing before speaking, the words are bold, but they are not annoying...... Luo Kai squinted his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him, especially the businessman surnamed Jia who spoke later.
Obviously, even if this businessman surnamed Jia is not the imperial merchant of Zhao Song, he must have a deep background, and Li Desheng, as the defense envoy of Yinzhou, does not shy away from making friends with the other party, obviously either close to the Song side or has other plans, but, at least for now, this has nothing to do with him Luo, and he doesn't need to point fingers.
Luo Kai settled down first, thought about it for a while, and then said: "It's a coincidence, this general happened to lack a guide to the Song Land this time, and Li Defense is really timely and rainy!" ”
Li Desheng had planned to sell both sides well, and when he heard this, he was immediately very happy, "General Luo is as decisive as rumored, my brother's luck is really good, if you can have a general as an ally, Hexi will definitely win a time of peace!" ”
Luo Kaixian was not interested in listening to the official clichés of this era - in fact, the similar words of later generations had already annoyed him, so he followed the end of the words of the Yinzhou defense envoy, and said: "General Ben plans to leave for Suizhou early tomorrow morning, if Mr. Jia is interested in going together, we have a lot to say, please ...... Oh, two guards, please stay outside, in the general's camp, you don't have to worry about your safety......"
In this era, betrayal and inexplicable killings are almost everywhere, and it is not wise to rush into an unfamiliar camp, but Li Desheng and Jia Ren cannot refuse, because it will not only mean the failure of cooperation, but also the loss of basic trust.
Therefore, although it was the first time they met, they had to choose to believe in the credibility of the rumors and Luo Kaixian's character.
In the face of Luo's invitation, the performance of the two people was different, Li Desheng, as a defense envoy, was stunned, but Jia Ren, who was a businessman, responded with a smile: "That's right, General Luo, please!" ”
