Chapter 570: Helan Fort (2)
"Father Khan, it seems...... It should be Kong Sheng who is here! Ye Gauntlet put up a pergola and stared at the winding mountain road up the mountain, his voice was a little complicated and shocked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Including Mo Yansi, all the Hui magnates looked around, and sure enough, they faintly saw three horses galloping on the way up the mountain, the first of which was a young man in white clothes with a white horse under his crotch, and behind him were two retinues riding black horses.
The speed of these three horses up the mountain was very fast, that is, at the moment when Mo Yansi was pondering in his heart, it was getting closer and closer. This time, Ye Hu could see clearly that it was Kong Sheng and his two henchmen who would dissolve the black.
Kong Sheng actually went to Helan Fort alone! Ye Hu was shocked in his heart, not thinking that this was Kong Sheng's huge trust in himself, but could only say...... Judging from Kong Sheng's character, he should not be arrogant, but full of strong self-confidence and fearless courage.
Mo Yan took a deep breath and said softly: "This guy is so bold, he dares to come alone, he really treats us as nothing!" ā
Yidijian took the opportunity to say on the side: "Yes, Father Khan, this person is very arrogant and rude, and he dared to come to the meeting alone, which in itself shows a lot of problems, at least it shows that he doesn't take us Hui people seriously." ā
Mo Yan slurred and was silent.
Not long after, the soldiers came to report: "The Great Khan, the Tang Dynasty Chang'an Hou and the marriage envoy Kong Sheng have arrived outside Helan Fort, asking to see the Great Khan, can you put it in the fort?" ā
The soldier's words made the powerful people look a little strange. The Xindao family came alone, we have thousands of soldiers in Helan Fort, and there are 100,000 troops under the mountain to press the border, so the battle is only to deal with one person, which is also a great anecdote.
Mo Yan slowly waved his hand: "Ye Hu you go to greet you, let the Tang Dynasty send the marriage envoy in!" ā
The gate of Helan Fort is tall and majestic, the main body is wooden but the two ends are inlaid with iron plates, about five meters high and about seven or eight meters wide, it can be seen that the construction of Helan Fort should have cost a lot of financial resources at that time. The sound of a squeaky door opening came, Kong Sheng's expression was calm, he turned over and dismounted, and handed over the chasing wind to Wu Xian.
Two rows of fierce Hui soldiers lined up in two rows with scimitars in their hands, eyeing each other like a welcoming guard of honor and a threat of showing off their force. Ye Hu came out with a few people with smiles on their faces, Kong Sheng glanced at the battle of the Hui people, and secretly sneered in his heart.
Since he went to the meeting alone, how could he be frightened by this little formation.
Ye Hu said with a smile: "Ye Hu was ordered by his father Khan to come to greet Chang'an!"
Kong Sheng smiled: "Thank you Prince Ye Hu, please!" ā
The two walked side by side into Helan Castle, and climbed the mossy steps all the way up the stairs to Helan Castle, which was once the official meeting hall of the defenders, but now temporarily became the tooth tent of the Hui Khan.
Along the way, from the camp gate to the lobby, on the road of hundreds of meters, a group of Hui soldiers had a calm face, but when they saw Ye Hu and Kong Sheng, they were extremely respectful, and they all bent down to salute, it seemed that Ye Hu's status in the minds of the Hui people was still relatively respectful.
Ye Hu was very satisfied with the performance of the Hui soldiers, which greatly satisfied his vanity. However, his status among the Hui people has also risen sharply recently, which is related to the leading role he played in the peace affairs between the Hui and the Tang Dynasty.
Almost everyone in the Hui people knew that the crown prince Ye Hu was friendly with the Tang Dynasty, and he could win a lot of benefits for the Hui people from the Tang Dynasty emperor. For example, the barter trade between Israel, the preferential tax exemption for trade between the two countries, and the cheap supply of grain and grass are all real benefits for the Uighurs.
In the minds of ordinary Hui people, the political proposition of invading the Tang Dynasty has nothing to do with the lives of ordinary people, and on the contrary, it will suffer from it. At least, if a full-scale war with the Tang Dynasty starts, I don't know how many Hui people's families, wives, wives, and families will be broken up.
Obviously, in order to welcome the Hui Khan, the Hui people made some preparations in Helan Fort in advance.
In the hall, all the floors are covered with soft animal skins, and people walk on them softly and elastically. There are four windows in the hall, each of which is improvised with strips of beige cloth. The furnishings are relatively simple, with a rectangular table in the center, and a middle-aged Hui man with a delicate face sitting cross-legged behind him, wearing a golden crown and a short and exquisite leather robe. Presumably, this is grinding and sipping.
On the left, there is a majestic Hui man sitting cross-legged, which is the Hui minister who Kong Sheng has seen, and on the right, there is an empty position, which belongs to Ye Hu, and under Ye Hu, it is Yidi Jianhe and a Han man dressed in Tang costumes, who is about forty years old, and is particularly eye-catching in a group of Hui magnates.
Kong Sheng fell on this person at first sight, why did there still be Han people in the court of the Khan? Who is this person? It seems that the status of the Uighurs is not low.
Kong Sheng smiled slightly, and bowed to Mo Yan: "Tang Chang'an Hou, Shence General, and Marriage Envoy Kong Sheng, I have seen His Majesty Hui Khan!" ā
Gu Lulu suddenly said angrily: "Tang Dynasty marriage envoy, you are really bold, you dare not bow down when you meet His Majesty the Khan of my family!" ā
Kong Sheng stared at Gu Lulu, and anger grew in his heart. The Hui people didn't bow down when they saw the Khan, and he actually let himself, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, kneel and bow to Mo Yan, isn't this a deliberate humiliation or a deliberate provocation?
"I am not a minister, but an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, representing the Tang Dynasty court and His Majesty the Tang Emperor, how can I bow down to the Khan? Bone Lulu, the Khan is in front of him, discussing national affairs with his envoy, how dare you be rude? Kong Sheng slowly looked at Gu Lulu and said lightly.
Gu Lu Huo Ran got up: "This prime minister is acting for the government and military affairs of Hui, you are disrespectful to the Khan, and this prime minister naturally has the right to point it out!" ā
"Oh? It turned out to be the Minister of the Hui Kingdom who went to Lingwu that day! I don't know if Lord Gu Lulu escaped from Lingwu that day, do you still remember Kong Sheng?! Kong Sheng smiled loudly, his eyes were shining, and the projection on Gu Lulu's body turned into disdain and ridicule in his eyes.
This is undoubtedly the scar of the bones. He regarded the defeat of Lingwu as the greatest shame in his life, and now listening to Kong Sheng's ridicule in front of the Hui people, his heart was even more angry, and the fire of hatred under his self-suppression burned again.
Ye Hu frowned, and was about to say something, but when he saw his father Khan throwing a hint at him, he had to sit back and watch the changes.
"Kong Sheng, you set a trap to kill thousands of people in my Hui Erlang that day, such a shame, I will never forget it! Now that you're here today, don't think about leaving the country with all your might! Come on, take down this thief to the prime minister, and avenge the sons and daughters who died tragically in Lingwu! Bone roared and blurted out.
Kong Sheng laughed loudly: "Gu Lulu, you are really presumptuous!" Kong is an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and he came to discuss with His Majesty the Khan the major affairs of the alliance between the two countries and affinity, but you went beyond the border to represent the envoy in front of His Majesty the Khan, claiming that you would take down the envoy to punish the crime, not only did you not have the Tang Dynasty, but also His Majesty the Khan! ā
"You still dare to mention the battle of Lingwu that day in front of this envoy. You led 30,000 troops into Lingwu City without authorization, showing off your might in my Tang Dynasty, and this envoy was ordered by the emperor to take charge of the important political affairs of the Lingwu army, and it was your responsibility to defend the territory, so you naturally want to expel the enemy from the country! Kong Shengyang pointed at Gu Lulu and said in a fierce voice: "Gu Lulu, if you dare to step into the territory of the Tang Dynasty without permission for half a step, the envoy will definitely let you have no return!" If you don't believe me, you can give it a try! (To be continued.) )
