There were a total of five elders at the head of the Tang Battalion, one from each of the four major families, and one from the civilian representatives. The four big families are Li, Zhang, Pei, and Wei, among which the ancestors of the Li family are the Lang generals of the craftsman battalion, the ancestors of the Zhang family are the long history of the craftsman battalion, the ancestors of the Pei family are the treasury branch of the craftsman battalion, that is, the logistics manager, and the ancestors of the Wei family are the purchasing officers of the craftsman battalion.

Because the ancestors of the Zhang family are long history, they attach great importance to culture and education, so they have inherited a lot of oriental traditions over the years, so the children of the Zhang family are often called sour scholars. Zhang Nuo Zhang Longze is two years Chinese New Year's Eve old today, and he is also a very famous sour scholar in the Tang camp, he is always called Zhang Wulang in the family, Zhang Lu is his half-brother, and he is also the grandson of Zhang Cheng, the ancestor of the Zhang family, because the Zhang family respects the Confucian classics, and the whole style has some kind of literati pretentiousness, although the whole clan says differently, but it is rare to retain their own traditions.

It's hard to say right or wrong about this tradition, especially in a land full of strife.

Zhang Nuo never felt that there was anything wrong with his concept of passing on his own family motto, and the Confucian concepts of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, forgiveness, loyalty and filial piety were almost integrated into his bones. Since the change in the Sylvan royal family, several brothers went out last year to seek a path for the future development of the clan, and the envoy of the Duchy of Tau-Kralzhej came to woo these people from the Tang camp, and he accidentally got in touch with the members of the royal family.

A few days ago, the eldest brother returned from the west, saying that the clansmen who came from the same road were extremely brave and wise, but few people took it seriously, and he Zhang Nuo followed the ideas of the ancestors and the elders of the family to do things, of course, he also had the same attitude. I didn't expect such a thing to happen at noon today, although the family did not determine that it belonged to the Duchy of Tau-Klarzhetty, but it was always a way to go, although that Samtz was not an official envoy, it was difficult to like him as a greedy and domineering person, but after all, the other party was a member of the royal family, and if he offended the other party, this road would be broken.

This guy named Luo Kaixian, who returned from the West, is so vulgar that he doesn't even have a word, and he is bold and reckless, which is really disgusting. It's a shame that the eldest brother praised him, I really don't know what to think.

Zhang Nuo waited outside Lao Luo's camp with a solemn expression, and Milam, the retinue of Samtz beside him, followed him with some sadness, and occasionally muttered this in a language that his own people did not understand, Zhang Nuo ignored it, and just looked at the soldiers guarding at the entrance. He was a little annoyed in his heart, but there was no way, even if he was a descendant of the Zhang family, although there were not many people in the camp in front of him, it was said that only about 20 people shot before, and he directly surrounded and suppressed more than 80 people under Samtz, and did not lose a single person. According to this battle loss ratio, if the Zhang family wants to make a move, it is estimated that it will need at least 500 or more combat strength, but if it wants to gather the combat strength of 500 people, it will have to mobilize the manpower stationed everywhere.

For the sake of a greedy guy, the head of the family will not agree to do this, but if he does not save the greedy Samtz, how will the Duchy of Tau-Kralzhety deal with it? Zhang Nuo, who was in a dilemma, felt a little angry and dazed.

"Your Excellency Zhang Nuo?" After receiving Lao Luo's order, Alrod came out directly to greet these Tang people.

"Oh, can I go in?" Zhang Nuo, who was a little dazed just now, woke up.

"The master said that you and he can go in, but the others can't." Alrod pointed to Miram beside Zhang Nuo, he simply didn't mention that Lao Luo allowed two guards, there are still little guys in the camp, what if he is injured.

"This ...... Can't you bring a few guards? Zhang Nuo was a little annoyed.

"No," Alode's tone was relaxed, and behind him were the warriors who were already ready to fly, "We guarantee your safety, in fact, you might as well tell you the truth, even if more than a dozen people are brought in behind you, it will not be a trouble for the master to kill you." ”

"But ......" Zhang Nuo only said two words and couldn't continue, people made it clear, all of you plus others don't take it seriously, and he didn't come to fight, just to negotiate with him.

The helpless Zhang Nuo entered the camp with a belly full of anger and a frightened Miram.

Lao Luo waited for the visiting Zhang family in a spare tent, which was used to entertain guests. When Zhang Nuo appeared in Lao Luo's field of vision, this person was a hypocrite, there was no reason, it was just Lao Luo's intuition.

Zhang Nuo was dressed very gorgeously, a typical right-hand Tang scholar's dress, neatly tied with hair, no beard, the fabric of the clothes was very gorgeous, like a texture like Shu brocade, the cutting and sewing skills were also very exquisite, and he even carried a Tang-style straight sword around his waist, which was a literati sword, which was purely an ornament in the eyes of the martial artists. This dress is not at all like Zhang Lu's simplicity, Lao Luo judged one word, good and bad. The other party's face is very fair, which also proves this, looking at the age should be thirty years old, but there is not even a trace of wind and frost on that face, and Lao Luo made another ungrounded comment.

Alki led people in, Lao Luo didn't even stand up from the dwarf to greet him, which made Zhang Nuo's anger increase a lot, this rude and vulgar martial artist, but he Zhang Nuo came to intercede for the Georgians, not to write a war letter, he had to swallow his anger and make a gesture in accordance with the usual etiquette, "Datang craftsman battalion Zhang Longze has seen Luo ......" Damn, Zhang Nuo Zhang Longze didn't know what to call each other, just call Luo Kaixian? That's a classic faux pas.

The other party's rigidity made Lao Luo a little funny, he didn't bother to greet this kind of person, and waved his hand directly, "Excuse me, a certain Luo Kaixian, it doesn't matter what you call it, why did Your Excellency come?" ”

Zhang Nuo didn't know how to be flexible, and directly deducted a title to Lao Luo, "Commander Luo, I talked about it when my brother returned the day before yesterday......"

"Okay, you don't need to say more, let's just say what you mean!" Lao Luo interrupted the other party's words unceremoniously, and he was not familiar with it, where did he come from so much nonsense.

"I am... It was for Samtz to intercede, and he also asked Luo to lead the ......" Zhang Nuo fell into passivity from the beginning, and naturally there was some inertia.

"Who is Samtz?"

"Son of the prince of the Duchy of Taw-Kralzheti, Samc. Gliott. Bagrat, captured by Commander Luo in the afternoon......"

"Who is Your Excellency?"

"Datang Artisan Camp Zhang's ......"

"Wait, the Tang people intercede for the Georgians, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I ......"

"Do you know that this Samtz wants to be a robber when he sees his wealth? You're interceding for a robber, are you sure you're not complicit in the robber? ”

"I ......"

"Wearing a Confucian shirt and doing heart-warming things. Are you sure you're a Tang person? ”

"I ......"

The conversation between the two was very fast, to be precise, as long as Zhang Nuo's words popped out, they would be interrupted by Lao Luo, and every sentence was like a knife piercing Zhang Nuo's heart.

Meanam, the Samtz attendant who was really listening next to him, could understand their words, and seeing that the more he spoke, the more stiff he became, he staggered and knelt on the ground at Lao Luo, "My lord, please allow Milam to say something." ”

Lao Luo's eyes narrowed, this was a sensible person, "Say, who are you?" ”

"I'm Milam, the squire of the prince of Samtz."

"Yes, you are very bold, your master was arrested, you still dare to come to the door, you are not afraid that I will detain you together?"

"My lord, Miram doesn't dare, but if I don't come, even if I return to the principality, it will be a capital offense."

"Well, you're a sensible person. Stand up and speak! ”

"Yes, sir." Knowing that there would be no danger anymore, Miram still stood up a little trembling, "I wonder how the Lord can release the Prince of Samtz?" ”

"Hehe, you are indeed a person who understands." Lao Luo admired this kind of loyal guy, "According to the laws of your Georgians, what should you do if you catch a robber?" ”

"This ......" Miram dared to say, no matter where he was, it was a great crime for a robber to be caught, either by hard labor or by death.

"Okay, seeing that you are a little bold, it is not difficult for me to be a messenger for you, go back to your principality to find your prince, and tell him about the matter." Lao Luo lacks a person to talk to directly, there is no need to hold on to this Miram in front of him, it is still okay to be a liaison, "Give your prince two choices, first, he thinks that he can save people by himself if he has more soldiers, but if he fails, don't blame me for killing this Samtz, and then retaliate; Second, if he thinks that his son is wrong, he will ransom him with his wealth, and I will not want silver or gold, but grain, timber, and pig iron, worth no less than two hundred thousand gold solidus. Remember? ”

"Remembered." Milam broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart that this man was also said to be a Tang man, but this tone was really not like it, and this appetite was greater than that of the Abbasid caliphate.

"It is said that your prince is stationed in Mingechaur, and I believe that three days should be enough time to run back and forth." Lao Luo rubbed his temples with his fingers, this is the newly obtained information, "From tomorrow, if I don't get an answer on the fourth day, I will have someone cut off Samtz's head." ”

"Yes, sir. I'll go and tell His Highness the Prince. Miram said and began to retreat, he was really in a hurry, in case of delay, he would be the one who would have his head cut off.

"Go, I have heard that your majesty Bagrat III is a bold king, and I hope that your prince is also clever enough." Lao Luo waved his hand, but between his words was an understanding of the Duchy of Tau-Klarzhet, which was a threat. If the prince of the principality understands it, it's okay, just take this opportunity to get more food, so that he can take the Tang people here to migrate in a few months, if he dares to bring troops to make trouble, then wait for his Lao Luo to retaliate, what kind of principality of thieves and birds, get rid of all their money, food and wealth, see what he uses to maintain his rule.

That's right, there is no benevolence in the conversation between Lao Luo and Georgian Miram from beginning to end, it is directly an explicit transaction, and Zhang Nuo next to him has no room to interject. Zhang Nuo, who was dressed as a scholar, had a blue and red face, which was simply indescribable. Lao Luo didn't bother to deal with this kind of cynical hypocrite, he could even guess what he wanted to say, it was nothing more than about taking into account the overall situation and educating barbarians, he had never seen similar characters in later generations, so Lao Luo directly ordered Alki to blast him out.

When I came, I looked at the sour scholar Zhang Nuo, who was arrogant, and how did he look at his back, but it was a bit like a mourning exam.

Lao Luo is very clear about the psychology of this kind of person, it is nothing more than wanting to hook up with the Georgians to find a wealth, or he is afraid that he will cause trouble here and implicate the Tang camp, without a little blood and courage, Confucian things can not be said to be useless, but really in accordance with the Confucian concept of life, that is, to turn people into grazing cattle and sheep, just waiting for people to slaughter.

Philosophy of bullshit hypocrisy!

It's not that Lao Luo thinks it's bad to be benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise, and trustworthy, but it's a joke to take this kind of personal cultivation as a concept of governance, and then the Confucian people put this principle of cultivating personal temperament on the officialdom, and use this frame to attack political opponents, which is the way to death for governing the country.
