Because of the shirk of a matter, before Heldon appeared, Lao Luo was in a good mood and his thoughts were thick.

He was leisurely thinking about the history he had read, the legends of the Semitic people in the valley of the two rivers in the southwest thousands of years ago, the Sumerians, the Akkadians (the oldest Babylonian kingdom, the Mesopotamian civilization, where the Garden of Eden is located in the Bible), and then the Assyrians, the Assyrians were extremely militar, and later destroyed by the Chaldeans, and the Chaldeans rebuilt the Neo-Babylonian kingdom (also called the Chaldean kingdom), including the legendary hanging gardens built by Nebuchadnezzar II, and then the rise of the Persians, Cyrus II captured Belshazzar, the last king of the Chaldeans...... Next is the appearance of Alexander of the Macedonian Kingdom, which is really a bit magnificent......

Helton's words just interrupted Lao Luo's train of thought, and the annoyed Lao Luo asked a little stiffly: "Bahamir?" What did he do, didn't he say that he could lead his son home after the last batch of tail goods arrived? What, he wants to break the agreement? ”

"No, master." Helton's thin body cowered a little, and the master's momentum became stronger and stronger, even the Roman generals did not have such power, "Bahamir's behavior is different from before, I feel that he has something to ask us for." ”

"Asking us? He is the court minister of the Duchy of Taw-Klarzhety, and his Grand Duke is on a campaign against the other two principalities, what does he have to ask us for? It's not that Lao Luo has nothing to say, but he knows that the subordinate in front of him is clever and sharp-eyed, and the purpose of saying these words is to hope that this subordinate can provide a direction, at least have a first hand to prepare before meeting that palace secretary.

"I can't guess, master, but our men noticed that their men tried to get close to the Combined Workshop, only to be stopped by the city guards." Helton is indeed a smart man, and he may have the answer in mind, but he won't say it directly.

Lao Luo actually understands Helton's careful thinking, to put it bluntly, it is just a kind of flattery, although he doesn't think he needs it, but he won't have any thoughts because of this subordinate's flattery, after all, his subordinates are pleasing themselves, and now he finally understands why politicians like to listen to good words, and good words do make people comfortable, "Okay, it seems that the other party is worried about what we have recently made." So lead this Bahamir to the welcoming tent to meet me. ”

"Yes, my master."

The so-called welcome tent was set up at the entrance of the camp, at least two or three hundred meters away from the residential area, and the purpose was, of course, to prevent outsiders from snooping on their secrets, especially those in a semi-hostile state like Bahamir.

Lao Luo is too lazy to greet people with a smile like a politician, not to mention that this Bahamir palace secretary is a semi-hostile force with his own side, what can a smile get in exchange? Equal treatment? No kidding, it's the truth of the world that your fists are hard enough.

In the face of Bahamir, who has 4,000 soldiers in his hands, a weak attitude can only lead to the opponent's inch, and a tough attitude will make the opponent suspicious. Of course, a simple hard-line attitude can only be confused for a while, and the truth of mutual respect is to really have the hard skills in your hands, no matter what era it is.

So from the beginning when Samtz was detained, Lao Luo's attitude was as hard as iron, and now Lao Luo has recruited 1,200 recruits, even if it is not useful for the time being, but this is the capital of speaking, not to mention that there is a Tang battalion next to it that is integrated with each other in the eyes of outsiders, which is the support point of strength.

So when Lao Luo sat in the welcome tent to receive the palace secretary Bahamir, the surrounding soldiers saw such a scene, the tall and cold-faced Lao Luo, opposite was a fat **Qing Bahamir with a smiling expression, according to common sense, no matter what, the identity of the palace secretary is more noble, but in reality, the expressions of both sides seem to be completely reversed.

"Your Excellency Gong Qing, there is a proverb in the East: If you are courteous to others, you must ask for something." Facing Bahamir's smile, Lao Luo's face was still a tabula rasa, "Let's say something directly, I believe that since I detained Samtz, I have completely offended you, haven't I?" Your Excellency Gong Qing doesn't need to smile like this, it's too tired. ”

Lao Luo's words couldn't help but be a little mean, but Bahamir's face didn't change at all, on the contrary, his smile looked brighter, "General Luo is a soldier in the end, I like a soldier's temper like you, just like the soldiers on the Byzantine side, straightforward and broad-minded, it was my son Sumtz who was ignorant before, and it was too late for you to teach him a lesson and I was grateful, how can it be said that it is offended?" ”

"...... "Lao Luo is considered to have served the creature of politicians, mother, you slap you, people give you a smile, and the black thing becomes white when you talk about it." Obviously, this Bahamir is this kind of high-level creature, if His Excellency Gong Qing still has an angry expression for his son, Lao Luo will look up at him, but at the moment, this Excellency is obviously the kind of person who puts interests first, and this expression is enough to explain the problem. Lao Luo was a little speechless and said: "

"General Luo, you know that I am more familiar with the Elder Zhang, and I wanted to ask Elder Shen to be a medium, but according to Elder Shen, there was some misunderstanding between you, so I had to rush to the door myself......" The fat palace secretary spoke like acquaintances who knew each other very well.

Although he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, Lao Luo was a little impatient, and it was better to go to the Magyar Sea to take a sea bath if he had this kind of long-winded time, "Your Excellency Gongqing, since you know the Byzantine soldiers and are also familiar with the Zhang family, then you must know a lot about me, and you must have something to say directly, otherwise please forgive me for not accompanying me." ”

"Okay, okay," Bahamir Gongqing's face was a little bright, but he couldn't see a trace of annoyance, "I heard that General Luo is going to lead the Tang battalion to the east, and he has also provided a few equipment for defensive operations on the road, I wonder if I can ...... it?"

"Well, that's true, what does Your Excellency Bahamir think? Or what do you want? "Lao Luo's attitude can be said to be very impolite, he is deliberately oppressing the other party, because he is very strange why the direct elders around this grand duke seem to have lost all their dignity? Or maybe something unexpected happened.

"I think ......, in this way, since General Luo likes to be straightforward, I'll just say it directly, we, or the Principality of Tao-Klarzheti, need what you call a partial van, which will be the best equipment to deal with cavalry, of course, it would be better if the equipment called the floating car can also be transferred." Bahamir can become a palace secretary, in the end, he is still a smart person, at least he understands that he can only make people disgusted if he does it again, so he directly stated the purpose.

"It seems that His Excellency Bahamir is indeed very well-informed," Lao Luo was not annoyed by the other party's words, in fact, he had long known that with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty camp and the secrecy methods of this era, it was impossible to strictly control all the information, even if the Zhang family did not leak the secret, there would be others who leaked the news, "But Your Excellency Bahamir, aren't you worried that I will be annoyed by this, kill all the people who leaked the secrets, and then deal with you?" ”

"No, General Luo is a soldier who abides by principles, so naturally he will not deal with his own people casually," it was rare that Bahamir restrained his almost flattering smile just now, and explained his thoughts in a serious manner, "As for us, if it weren't for that stupid son of mine, the general and I wouldn't be sitting here in this way of approximating negotiation, would we?" ”

Lao Luo had to cheer for this guy from the bottom of his heart, to be able to mix in the position of Gong Qing, this grand duke's uncle still seems to have a brush, at least this kind of vision and courage is not something that ordinary people can do. Lao Luo put away his cold face and clapped his hands, "You really should cheer for Your Excellency Gong Qing's eyes, what you said is right." If it weren't for your son Samtz, who was reckless because of greed, I wouldn't have received you in a hostile way. However, this kind of thinking alone can ease the relationship between us, but it is impossible to want what I have in my hands. ”

"I understand, Your Excellency." Bahamir completely regarded Lao Luo as an equal figure at this time, "In fact, there is no fundamental contradiction between us, Your Excellency is going to lead the Tang camp back to the east, and my nephew, His Majesty the Grand Duke, recently sent a letter to give up the plan to accommodate the Tang camp, and you see that the last bit of dispute between us is gone." ”

"Your Excellency Gong Qing, if there is no contradiction, it is not necessarily necessary to cooperate, and non-interference with each other is actually a more appropriate strategy." Lao Luo Cai did not believe that the other party could change his concept so quickly, even if the other party adopted a policy of contraction in the east, it would only be temporary, and in time, that Bagrat III would definitely make a comeback after solving the problems of the Black Sea coast and Kakhedia.

"Your Excellency, there are actually many aspects of cooperation that we can work with." Bahamir will not give up so easily, it is impossible to be a palace secretary without a little patience, "For example, Your Excellency General has no idea about this land, you are destined to face the Turks on the way east, according to the current development of the Turks, sooner or later it will be a disaster for us Georgians, so we still have a common enemy." ”

"After you leave here, any conflicts you have with the Turks have nothing to do with us." Lao Luo Cai did not let go easily, and it was in his interest for the Turks and Georgians to lose both.

"Your Excellency, there are actually other connections between us, your journey from Smyrna is so smooth that you are inseparable from your soldiers, and we are also connected with Byzantium, Your Excellency Bartol." Bahamir's expression was as if he was holding a pearl of wisdom.

Lao Luo was a little surprised, but he quickly thought about it, his Mongolian name is only known to a few people except for the soldiers in the camp, since the other party knows this, and directly said that he has a connection with Byzantium, then the person who told the other party the news is about to come out, "Oh, Your Excellency Bahamir's contacts are really extensive, is that old guy from Soratinok coming?" ”

"Uh......" Bahamir was almost choked, he thought that spitting out the other party's other name would take the initiative a little, but he didn't expect the big man in his mind to be directly called an old guy by the other party, "Your Excellency Soratinok didn't come, it was one of his envoys who came to tell me the other name of His Excellency the General, and told me to cooperate with the General." ”

That's right, there is no suitable mount to ride, and it is strange that the fat old guy can stand the rugged terrain of the Transcaucasia, Lao Luo thought quietly, and he muttered helplessly, "That old fellow's hand is long enough for Soratinok......"

"Your Excellency Bartol, since you can cooperate with Your Excellency Soratinok, is there a ...... between us" Lao Luo's muttering voice was not small, Bahamir naturally heard it, his attitude was no longer the original domineering, and what remained on his face was not only respectful and respectful, but also a little restrained.

There is no way for the other party to directly call the big man of Constantinople an old fellow without any concern, regardless of whether the other party has ever offended him, this tone alone is not something that he can provoke as an uncle of a Transcaucasian Grand Duke.

Lao Luo didn't realize that he was the protagonist of a fox and a fake tiger, in fact, he never cared about the identity of the old guy in Soratinok, "Your Excellency Gongqing, since you know me from Soratinok's people, then someone must tell you how I dealt with that old guy, so ......"

"I understand, Your Excellency General...... "Bahamir is not clear, the master in front of him is the guy who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles," soldiers, supplies for the eastward movement of the Tang battalion, craftsmen, we can all provide them, the only requirement is to get a van or a floating car. ”

Lao Luo shook his head, and it wasn't until Bahamir, who was sitting across from him, turned depressed that he spoke: "Your Excellency Gongqing, I guess you have also received a lot of news from the Zhang family, and you should understand that these things are not something that the Zhang family can interfere with, so you found me here." It is impossible to transfer or sell the floating car, and it can't even appear out of my sight, so you don't have to worry about it, as for the partial van, you can consider it, I don't know what kind of price Your Excellency Gong Qing is going to use to trade? ”

"Great, it's perfectly enough to have a partial van!" The fat man Bahamir almost jumped up excitedly, he didn't care about what kind of floating car, it could only be used for transportation, and it was very troublesome, and the things that could not be used for combat could be completely ignored, "Kakhedia mountain soldier slaves, craftsmen of various trades, as well as grain, meat, vegetables, wood, pig iron, and various supplies can be used as a condition of exchange." ”

"That's it, I need live cattle and sheep, grain, and craftsmen here, as for the partial van car, it must be ordered at least twenty cars, the drawings are priced separately, and you can send someone to talk to Helton about the specific number......" Lao Luo's words are final, he only needs to explain the specific details to Helton, and the guy who has been a trader will do things perfectly.
