Ezhi Wende smiled: "This is their habit, anyway, they are smeared with lard all day long, and the taste will not be much better than feces and urine." People have been used to this taste for thousands of years. Oh, by the way, they also make sake there, but instead of fermenting rice like we do, they put the rice in their mouths and chew it, chew it for a long time, and then spit it out, and mix it with saliva to form rice paste, which is used as sake lees. Alas, I think I drank this wine of theirs once when I was on my first mission to Beji, and I thought it tasted strange at the time, and when I saw how they made it, I was so disgusted that I vomited all the food I had eaten the night before. ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "Then these people really stink like pigs, alas, men are just that, women do the same?" ”

Gao Baoyi said with a smile: "Brother Wang, let me tell you, when I was there for the Tiele people in the past, I thought that these Tiele barbarians who didn't take a bath all day were the most smelly people in the world, but a few years ago, because I wanted to buy some tiger skins, I went to the place of the Beji people, and I found that the Tiele people compared with these Beji people, they can be regarded as fragrant and sweet, that is, Beji women, and a thousand times more stinky than the Tiele people, they don't wear shirts, only a leather skirt, with thick lard on their bodies, and all kinds of oil paint on their faces, It makes people want to take a second look after one look. ”

Ezhi Wende laughed: "No, and the Beji people have no etiquette at all, and the situation of robbing and stealing marriages is prevalent, if a man wants to marry a wife, and falls in love with a woman, he will secretly crawl into the hole in her house at night, and before her father and brother find out, he will hold on tightly to her two exposed." Even if this family business is done! ”

Wang Shichong's eyes widened: "This is okay?" ”

Etozhi Wende nodded: "It's as simple as that." These women are fierce. Don't think it's easy, and the chest is smeared with thick lard, and it's slippery, it's not easy to hold on, if you can't catch it, after the man in the family of the awakened woman finds out, most of the small lives are not guaranteed. ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "This is really a legendary fighting nation." Barbarians like this do not have the concept of a state at all. Prime Minister Otoji just wants to cross the area of the Beji people, but I'm afraid it won't be easy, and most of them will be attacked. ”

Yizhi Wende Zhengse said: "Yes, the Beji people are fierce and good at war, and they do not pay attention to etiquette and faith, and our Goguryeo people are also very troubled by them, and the northern border and the Khitan tribe of the servants are often attacked by them, and every time they have to give them some rice and grain to appease, if they really want to use soldiers to encircle and suppress, they often outweigh the losses." These people also have no fixed place to live, and the vast mountains are full of caves where they can live. It's hard to find, and you're often caught in an ambush. ”

"So in peacetime, we can only appease the main, give some of their tribal leaders and leaders some false officials, regularly distribute rice and grain to them, in exchange for peace and quiet, as for the time of the big war, we will also temporarily levy some Beji people, use their fierce and good fighting to deal with the enemy, do not hide from the king Shilang, more than ten years ago when your Sui army was preparing to attack our Goguryeo, our country also produced a large amount of grain, to recruit 20,000 Beji warriors to help the war."

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Then it seems that it is better for the Great Sui to keep peace with Goguryeo, otherwise there will really be a war, you put these living treasures in front, there is no need to fight, and the stink will stink our army to death." ”

A hint of pride flashed in Yizhi Wende's eyes: "Yes, but your Sui army is only stinky when fighting at most, and the soldiers of our army have to be in a camp with them all day long, and they can't bear it, and the Beji people are fierce and good at fighting, although there are few people, but they can be ten on the battlefield, or even one as a hundred, if they take the opportunity to master advanced weapons and tactics, especially let them learn to ride horses, it will really be difficult to control." As a last resort, we don't want to provoke these plague gods. ”

Gao Baoyi smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about the Beji people, I seem to be able to smell a smell of lard in my nose from thousands of miles away, let's get down to business, Minister Eji, if you want to trade pig iron with us, it's best not to go to the territory of the Beji people, but rather to go to the ** grassland area of the Lifu Special Service." ”

Yizhi Wende nodded: "I also think the same, there is also an endless war between the various departments of Beji, seeing these iron tools and weapons, they will give birth to the heart of robbery, we can't use a large army to protect this kind of transaction, and if there are fewer people, we will definitely lose a fine light, so it's better to be safe, but there are two problems with the Livo Special Service, one is whether this will leak the news and let the people of the Sui Dynasty know, and second, will he agree that most of the pig iron will pass through his own area and give it to his half-brother in Mobei?" ”

Gao Baoyi glanced at Wang Shichong, and said: "In the past, when my family's big secret service and two younger brothers were in trouble in the first Khan, they were sincere and united, and they were dedicated to foreign enemies, so it can be said that they have passed the tribulation together, and then thanks to the help of Brother Wang, and they have obtained pig iron from the Western Regions for many years, and the three brothers have never blushed because of these pig iron, and they are generally divided equally, so I think there will be no problems in this regard in the future, after all, pig iron is forbidden to be imported into our Turks by the Sui Dynasty, if the news leaks, the supply of goods is cut off, No one is good. ”

A look of doubt flashed on Eulzhi Wende's face: "Mr. Gao, it's not that I want to provoke the relationship between you Turkic nobles, but this matter involves our Goguryeo, so I have to say the risk." In the past, the three brothers of your lord were all princes, and the foreign enemy was strong at that time, and this was the time for brothers to work together, but now the situation is different, the second prince Duji has become the Shibi Khan, and your lord and Prince Tong Lifu have become special agents, and the names of the monarchs and ministers have been decided. ”

The corners of Gao Baoyi's mouth hooked: "It is indeed possible, but Shibi Khan also hated the Sui Dynasty's long-term use of our Turks as slaves, especially the iron embargo imposed on our Turks, and wanted to weaken and enslave our Turks forever. (To be continued......)
