Chapter 830: Wei Zheng enters the city
The corners of Nilo Zhou's mouth hooked, and he said slowly: "Respected Khan, in my opinion, this person is not Yang Guang's envoy, with Yang Guang's character, he will never send people into the city in this way, and he is pretentious, and he will not make this kind of trick to win the city gate, so I think this person may really be sent by a general of the Sui army who wants to negotiate peace with us in private." ”
Beggar Fuda said angrily: "King Dabao, are you old and confused? Whether it is Yang Guang or which general of the Sui army, what difference will there be if he sends someone to negotiate peace? It's just to make us surrender, we Tuyuhun people are the people of God, the eagle of the grassland, and the overlord of the river, how can we bow to these Sui people! ”
Niluo Zhou sighed: "The national strength of the Sui Dynasty is stronger than we imagined, these hundreds of thousands of troops are now camped here with us, our water source has been exhausted, more than 200,000 people here cannot rely on the melting ice of the snow mountains every day to insist, and the cattle and sheep are gnawing a lot of grass every day, if this continues, within a month, we will be exhausted." ”
The corners of Volian Khan's mouth twitched: "But will the Sui army be able to hold on?" We are all in difficulty, what can they rely on to sustain themselves? In the past, our first khan was also besieged by the enemy in this place, but as long as the spring flowers bloomed, they would all have to retreat without exception! ”
Nilo Zhou shook his head: "Dear Khan, I think you are a little too optimistic, the Sui army is not the Qiang and Turkic people in the past, those nomads, will not stop in one place, because soon horses, cattle and sheep will have no grass to eat, but the Sui army is the army of the Central Plains, and they eat the grain transported from Guanzhong and Longyou." There were also those tribes that surrendered to the Sui army who also provided them with supplies. Keep fighting like this. Not to mention three months, even three years, they can stay, and in the end, they can't hold on first, I'm afraid it will be us. ”
A look of helplessness flashed on the face of Fulian Khan, and he turned to Qifuda and said, "General Qifu, you personally take someone out to collect the armor and bows and arrows of the corpse of the Sui army, and bring that person in." I don't believe he can play any tricks! ”
Beggar Fuda muttered down the tower, and Volian Khan turned to Nilo Zhou and said, "We must not look weak in front of the people who come, we must treat this person well, so that we can strive for better conditions!" ”
A hint of cunning flashed in Niluo Zhou's eyes: "Listen to the Khan!" ”
Half an hour later, on the valley grassland behind the city, a dome tent stood under the blue sky and white clouds, the fence and watchtower were laid five hundred steps in front of the big tent, the distance from the camp gate at the entrance to the big tent was three hundred steps, and at every other step, there were two Tuyuhun soldiers. Everyone was armed with a shiny scimitar, and in the open space in front of the big tent. A large iron pot was erected on the pyre, and a raging flame had been ignited on the pyre, and from time to time a few oil stars boiled in the iron pot, which exploded into the air, and then fell on the pyre below, stirring up the fiery red flames, and from time to time there were two points of blue light.
Wei Zheng dressed as a small soldier of the Sui army, held his head high, surrounded by the eight fierce and vicious Tuyuhun strong men led by the beggar Fuda himself, calmly walked to the camp gate, as soon as he saw Wei Zheng coming, all the standing Tuyuhun soldiers shouted in unison, and all the scimitars in their hands were erected upward, forming a knife gate about 400 steps long, from the camp gate to the front of the big tent.
Wei Zheng looked at this murderous knife gate, without a panicked look at all, and even smiled slightly, and said to Qifuda: "General Qifu, is this your hospitality?!" ”
Qi Fu Da is angry, this time the Sui army attacked Tugu Hun, his losses were the heaviest, the last time he accidentally bumped into the tribe of Yang Guang's imperial camp, it was a Qiang tribe led by his younger brother, as a result, those damned Qiang people in order to surrender Yang Guang, and even killed his younger brother, this revenge is not shared with the sky, these days in the city defense war, Qi Fu Da took a lot of advantage, killed thousands of Sui troops, is complacent, eager to go out of the city and the Sui army to open a battle in a battle, but heard that damn Niluo Zhou defeated.
The martial artist's view of the peace negotiation, that is, another name for surrender, which is the same in ancient and modern times at home and abroad, so Qi Fuda can't wait to throw this Sui Dynasty envoy who doesn't look like a good bird into that big oil pot and fry it, after hearing Wei Zheng's words, he resisted the urge to want Haibian this guy to eat, and said coldly: "Now whether you are a guest or an enemy, there is no conclusion, I can only send you here, the road behind, you can go by yourself!" ”
Wei Zheng shook his head with a smile, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward leisurely, a pair of scimitars flashing with cold light were on his head, if the guy had a sore arm, and the knife fell, it would be the head of the person who fell immediately, but Wei Zheng did not have a trace of panic on his face, and he did not speed up, so he walked forward slowly, and even smiled at the knifemen on the left and right from time to time.
One by one, the knife door was removed after Wei Zheng passed, and in the time of the small half pillar of incense, Wei Zheng walked to the end of the knife door, perhaps impressed by his calm spirit, the last knife door soldier withdrew the knife door when he did not go, holding the knife in his right hand, and the inward curved blade part was on his shoulder, Wei Zheng smiled, looked at the Tuyuhun soldier on the right who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, and his face was still childish, he stepped forward and asked in Xianbei language: "Who made this knife?" ”
The little soldier also looked like a member of the Murong tribe, with braided hair, fair skin (among the Xianbei people, the Murong clan was a Caucasian and was once called Bailu), and his appearance was not the same as the Qiang people in this land of rivers, and after hearing this, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
Wei Zheng smiled and stretched out two fingers, flicked on the blade of the knife, "ding", the sound was crisp and loud, Wei Zheng laughed: "It's really a good knife, it will be used to cut my head for a while, but there won't be any pain!" ”
He laughed and walked forward, not looking at the oil pot, and walked straight to the big tent.
Niluo Zhou stood outside the big tent, observing Wei Zheng's actions from the beginning to the present, seeing Wei Zheng walking in front of him, he stepped forward and spread his hands, parted from his waist outward, and bowed deeply, which was very similar to the posture of the Tibetans in later generations when they offered Hada. It is this way that the Tuyuhun people greet their guests. He said, "A friend from afar." I am Nilo Zhou, the Great Treasure King of Tuyuhun, and I welcome you on behalf of our Khan. “
Wei Zheng stood in place and returned the salute: "In the lower Wei Zheng, he is the doorman of Wang Shichong, the servant of the Criminal Department, and he is ordered by my master to say hello to Fulian Khan!" ”
Niluo Zhou's face changed slightly: "Doorman? He saw that when this man entered the camp, he was not afraid of the sword formation. is neither humble nor arrogant between conversations, he is really a first-class talent, but unexpectedly he is just a guest of a Sui Dynasty official. But he suddenly thought in an instant, the name Wang Shichong was too familiar, his mind turned, and his eyes lit up, "Mr. Wei, the lord of your family, but the richest man in the Central Plains, Wang Shichong?" ”
Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "Yes, it is my father-in-law." My father-in-law has been in business for a long time. I hope to be kind and make money and be kind to others. This thing of fighting and killing is really unwilling, so he will send Zai Xia into the city to discuss some things with Volian Khan! ”
Ni Luo Zhou nodded, glanced at the big iron pot on the side, although there was a smile on his face, his tone became stern: "Mr. Wei, my Khan has not been in a very good mood recently, your emperor has attacked us Tuyuhun for no reason, so that our Khan can not hunt and migrate freely as in previous years, and your lord, as an official of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, is also our enemy, if your words do not match our Khan's meaning for a while, you will be asked to take a bath in this oil pot, So you'd better think clearly before you speak, and if you're scared, I can send you out of town now. ”
Wei Zheng stroked his goatee and said with a smile: "Since Wei has entered this city, he has already made the determination to die, since the knife gate just now can't make Wei retreat, this oil pot naturally has nothing to worry about, we have an old saying in the Central Plains, saying that the big husband should not avoid the axe, not afraid of the wok, only with three inches of incorruptible tongue, the army of millions can not yield, I heard that the great treasure king Bo Gu Tongjin, is the first wise man in the Hehuang grassland, should be able to understand Wei's mind!" ”
Nilo Zhou nodded: "Sir, please come in, my Khan has been waiting for a long time!" ”
Wei Zheng walked into the big tent with his head held high, this big tent that can usually accommodate hundreds of people, but at this time it was empty, and there was not a single guard. The bottom of the big tent was covered with a gorgeous carpet, and the copper shelves around it were lit with fire candles, and the tent was filled with the smell of ambergris, and in the middle of the smoke, on a golden horseback-shaped hu bed in the middle, Volian Khan was wearing a mink robe, wearing a feather and a golden crown, stepping on rhino leather fast boots, holding a scepter made of pure gold, sitting on the golden horse beard bed, looking at Wei Zheng twenty steps away.
Wei Zheng bowed unhurriedly: "Wei paid a visit to the Great Khan of Tuyuhun Fulian, and conveyed the greetings of my lord to the Great Khan, wishing the Great Khan good health." ”
Niluo Zhou stood aside and said to Fulian Khan: "This Mr. Wei Zhengwei is the doorman of Wang Shichong, the richest man in the Central Plains and the current servant of the Criminal Department. ”
A hint of anger flashed on Volian Khan's face: "What, a doorman came to see Ben Khan?" How daring! ”
Wei Zheng replied calmly: "Great Khan, now is not diplomacy between the two countries, and those false courtesies are useless. Let's still have something to say, and it's better to be pragmatic. ”
Volian Khan held back his anger and said coldly: "For the sake of your alone entry into the city, and a little bold, Ben Khan will not worry about these things with you for the time being, let's say, what does your lord have to say to you like this?!" ”
Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "Great Khan, first of all, I want to tell you two things, the first is that you are preparing to breed this year's Tianma in the West Sea, from your nephew Ali Hei down, a total of 673 people, have all been captured by my lord, and the 3,000 Qinghai female horses that you are going to send to the small island in the West Sea have also fallen into the hands of my lord!" ”
Volian Khan stood up at once and said angrily: "What! You dare to treat Ben Khan's younger brother like this, rob Ben Khan's horse, and actually say this to Ben Khan, Wei Zheng, do you really want to take a bath in the oil pot?! ”
Wei Zheng shook his head: "Great Khan, please calm your anger, this matter is beneficial to you, and fortunately, it is my lord who received this order, otherwise it would be replaced by other Sui generals to do this, I am afraid that your brother and all the subordinates will have already fallen to the ground at this time." Liu Quan, the guard who led the troops to attack the West Sea this time, originally wanted to kill all these people in order to gain military merits, but if it wasn't for the strong dissuasion of my lord, none of these people would have survived! ”
Fulian Khan's heart calmed down for a while, sat back on the golden horse, and said, "Is Alihe, the brother of Ben Khan, really still alive?" If you have half a lie, Ben Khan will definitely break you into thousands of pieces to avenge your brother! ”
Wei Zheng smiled slightly, took out a piece of fine jade from his arms, and handed it to Niluo Zhou: "This is Ali Hei's personal jade formula, the Great Khan must recognize it, originally my lord wanted him to write a letter and bring it to the Great Khan, but unfortunately he is illiterate, so he can only give this token." Great Khan, please rest assured, now Ali Hei and his men are placed under my lord's hands, and this news has also been concealed from the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, your brother, and now he is safe. ”
Fulian Khan laughed and took the jade recipe into his arms: "Ali Hei really can't write, it seems that you are right." He's alive! But at this point, Volian Khan's face sank, "But why did you attack my brother?" Now that you have captured people, stolen horses, and come here to be good people, are you fooling Ben Khan? ”
Wei Zheng shook his head: "No, it's just that my lord wants to form a relationship with the Great Khan and cooperate for a long time in the future, so he temporarily protected them in order to protect Alihei." ”
Volian Khan sneered and said, "This matter is not related to you, you said that there is a second matter, what is it?" ”
Wei Zheng smiled, and said: "This second thing is to send an alarm to the Great Khan, the Sui army has made a siege weapon trebuchet, which will be transported to the city in two or three days to put into battle, and then I am afraid that although this Fuqi city is strong, it will not be able to withstand the bombardment of this trebuchet!" ”
Volian Khan's face changed greatly, and Niluo Zhou on the side also frowned: "Mr. Wei, I'm afraid you're bragging, although I know that the Central Plains thunderbolt and trebuchet can send out boulders and bombard the city wall, but that requires a lot of wood and stones, and now our Fuqi City is surrounded by bald mountains, and there are no trees that can allow the Sui army to make siege equipment, if they can make it, do they still need to send people to attack the city with their lives every day?"
