Chapter 64: The Assembly of the King's Tent (6)
Thinking of the grand occasion of the year, the tribal chiefs muttered to each other, and there was a trace of eagerness in their hearts, but they became depressed in an instant. The situation of the Tang Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, and it is impossible to give more support to the Xi people, and the Xi people themselves are not angry, they have been defeated by the Khitan repeatedly, and they have reached the edge of the dead clan, and the war is imminent.
"Handsome? The patriarch said lightly, don't we Xi people know how to use soldiers? If the Khitans come, they are willing to lead the troops to fight to the death! He Gu Nu stood up and shouted loudly, this is related to the power of the clan, and the Gu Nu is unwilling, and the father and son are bent on fighting for it, in order to gain a greater right to speak.
But military power is a powerful pillar of royal power, Turus has been the king of Xi for many years, and he is well versed in the way of power, how can he let go, he would rather temporarily hand over the military power to Zhuang Yi than hand it over to the father and son of Heligu. Because Zhuang Yi is an outsider, if he wants to be recognized by the chiefs of various tribes and smoothly take over the military power, it is bound to be difficult to ascend to the sky, he still needs his own support behind him, and he will not threaten his position. But it's different from Aunt Li's father and son, the military power is handed over to them, that is, it is really handed over.
"Do you know how to train? Can you fight and win? What do you say about the defeat of this year's spring? Turus asked coldly.
"If I can't, who else is good at it? All the battles are the soldiers I have trained, although I have not seen a great victory, nor have I seen a major defeat, the defeat of the beginning of spring is unfavorable, why should the king bring up the old things again? He was angry with the bone slave, and said with a red face.
"Hey...... If you lose, you lose, what do you say that you haven't seen a big defeat, if it's a big defeat, do you think you can still stand here and talk? Zhuang Yi stood up at the right time and said sneeringly.
"You...... This is the great thing in my people, and where is there a place for you to speak? The bone slave was furious, and finally burst out into a roar.
"And the bone slave! My department has been defeated against the Khitan many times, and you dare to say that you are not responsible? This war is not trivial, and a certain support for the king to change the commander! Xie Ra immediately spoke up and took over the conversation.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... What do you think? Turus said, turning to Sunu and Chehekun.
"The candidate for the general is very important, please consider it carefully......" Shuli stood up at this time and blocked it.
"We also support the change of coach, but I don't know who the handsome is? The king should show it as soon as possible, and we will be loyal to the king! Sunu and Qihekun glanced at each other and muttered a few words, but they ignored the eyes that stopped the operation, and stood up without hesitation and said.
The two of them are well aware of the grievances between the five departments, and they have recently returned to the tooth tent, so they don't want to disobey the will of Turus.
"This is Zhuang Langjun from Youzhou, the two patriarchs of Sunu and Qihekun have seen his ability, what do you think of him as handsome?" Xie Ra asked without losing any time.
"As long as it is the person chosen by the king, we should obey our orders!" Sunu replied without thinking, and Qihekun nodded in agreement.
"So the three departments have agreed, and the patriarch of Ligu, what do you think?" Turus turned his head to look at Heligu, who was sitting in the corner of the big tent.
"The old man obeys the king's orders!" He Ligu said helplessly.
Seeing this, the bone slave was so angry that his face turned pale, his fists clenched and gurgled, he stomped his foot indignantly, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
Tules smiled coldly, he was King Xi, but regardless of the attitude of the bone slave, he immediately opened his mouth and decided: "Very good!" After all, Zhuang Langjun has experience in the army, and he is even more proficient in battle formations, and the main general of this training is tentatively designated as Youzhou Zhuang Yi! ”
What's more, with the thoughts of Aunt Li's father and son, Turus knows that the princess's illness will not be cured for a long time, and this account has not been settled with you. Fortunately, the princess Jiren has her own natural appearance, and her illness has fully recovered, he turned his head to look at Zhuang Yi and said: "You can get your wish, but if you can't satisfy the clan chiefs, I don't need to say more about the consequences!" ”
"Haha...... King Xie Xi can afford Zhuang, and he will live up to King Xi's trust and go to the soup to fight the fire! Zhuang Yi bowed down and gave a salute, cutting it out categorically.
"Tribal affairs are predecided...... There is another happy event here, I want to tell you about it! When Tules said this, he looked at Zhuang Yi, and finally brought some smiles on his cold face.
The Patriarch had already known in advance, and at this time he just smiled and said nothing.
Qi He Kun didn't know, but Sunu was the best at observing the appearance and making fun, and hurriedly said: "But I don't know what a happy event is, and I ask the king to come, and I can congratulate the king!" ”
"The little girl Alan is seventeen years old, and she will soon be eighteen, and she has reached the age of marriage, so Xiao Wang decided to take advantage of the fact that everyone is here today to set a marriage for her, and she can be married only after the war. Well...... Zhuang Dalang! What do you think? Turus said with a smile.
"The son-in-law is willing! Xie Yuezhang is complete! Zhuang Yi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Turus to announce it on this occasion, and hurriedly bowed back.
However, when he thought about it, he understood that as the master of the five tribes of the Xi people, his family affairs were naturally not trivial. At this time, in front of everyone, the marriage between Zhuang Yi and Princess Ailan was decided, and there were doubts to gather people's hearts and firmly strengthen the role of Zhuang Yi's status, which was conducive to Zhuang Yi's next plan to carry out military training and city building to consolidate defense.
Regarding the plan of training troops and building a city, on the day Zhuang Yi first arrived in the grassland, he had a detailed discussion with the chief of the Xie Ra clan, and the chief of the Xie Ra clan reported to Turus. This is no small matter for the Xi herdsmen, who have always been free and free, although they are also engaged in fishing, hunting and farming, but it is the business of each tribe itself, and the income belongs to them. To gather a large number of people to obey the dispatch of Zhuang Yi, an outsider, without a suitable identity and prestige, it is naturally impossible.
Tules understands the difficulties involved, of course, he also wants to see how capable Zhuang Yi is, anyway, his marriage to Alan is ironclad, and it is logical to take this opportunity to get engaged to them.
"Good...... Operational! Go and get the two princesses and Ellen here! Turus said with a smile.
Shuli nodded in agreement, and the moment he got up and left the tent, he turned his head to look at Zhuang Yi, his eyes were full of anger and jealousy. This Youzhou man, not only ruined his good opportunity to coerce Ao Shi and Du Ji to strengthen his authority, but now he wants to marry his sister and become the chief general of the tooth tent leader, it is really unbearable and urine, but now is not the time to have a seizure, he has to swallow his anger and run errands.
After a while, he returned to the tent and sat down silently, Princess Ailan's red and simple face had a shy smile, and Princess Xi, who was dressed in a full costume, glanced at Zhuang Yi in the tent quickly, smiled and lowered her head. On the other side were Concubine Xi and Manna, walking side by side with Zhang, and the two walked into the tent with a smile and a smile, as if they had no trouble.
