read_content_up; In the guest house, Zhe Wenxin learned the good news brought by Lin Zhao, and his heart knot was completely untied. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When the mood is comfortable, the body will naturally recover quickly, and with the careful conditioning of the doctor and the work of the medicine stone, most of the recovery will be made soon.

"I didn't expect you to be in such good physical condition and recover quickly?" In the garden, Lin Zhao looked at Zhe Wenxin who was basking in the sun and smiled slightly.

Zhe Wenxin has recovered seventy or eighty percent, because of his special identity, under Lin Zhao's reminder, he has resumed his former men's dress, and he is still a personable nobleman.

"Thank you!" Zhe Wenxin's thanks are definitely from the bottom of her heart, firstly, she is grateful to Lin Zhao for saving her own life, and it is also equivalent to saving their Zhi family.

The shortfall of two thousand war horses, once detected by the Privy Council, without a reasonable explanation, will be self-evident. Lin Zhao's move is undoubtedly a great favor to the Fuzhou family.

It stands to reason that she should express her gratitude solemnly, but Zhe Wenxin can't say other "affectionate" words, the word "thank you" is simple and unpretentious, but it is her most sincere expression.

As for material or other gratitude, there is nothing to be gained at the moment, and I am afraid that there is nothing else to be given except to make a promise with my body......

"You're welcome!" Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "Ali Gu and the Southern Jiangsu Party Campaign are already preparing, and when the time comes, send your people to take over, and you must be careful after entering the Song Realm." ā€

"Yes, it will!" Zhe Wenxin also knows that this is not only about their own family, but also about Lin Zhao's safety. Speaking of which, Zhe Wenxin was really moved, Lin Zhao helped them to fold the family in this way, which was actually an extremely risky behavior.

"What are you doing here? Do you play polo? Zhe Wenxin saw from a distance that in a huge field in the center of the courtyard, many soldiers of the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty were practicing polo!

Lin Zhao sighed: "Alas, mentioning this matter is nerve-wracking. When the birthday of the Tibetan Chov was born, a polo match was held, but it was a pity that ...... The soldiers are not very skilled in this, but they are afraid that they will make people see jokes when the time comes. "It's okay to lose to others, but losing to the Xixia people really makes people can't swallow this breath, Lin Zhao deeply regrets it.

"A polo match?" Zhe Wenxin originally thought that it was just a Song army soldier who was idle and playing, but he didn't expect it to be a game related to the country's face.

"Not bad!" Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "At the welcome banquet of Dong Yu, I refuted Liang Yi's face, and he was unconvinced. The assassination of the former Ri should be the one he targeted me...... This matter has not yet been decided, and I don't know how the Tubo people will explain it to me...... On this polo field, you need to compete with the Tanguts, but the current situation, alas! ā€

Lin Zhao is really helpless now, the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army's skills are limited, and it is impossible to improve too much in a short period of time.

But he didn't want to be on the side, but Zhen Wenxin giggled and said: "Don't worry, the Great Song Dynasty may not lose to Western Xia at that time, and it is unknown if Mrs. Qiao's birthday is a blockbuster." ā€

"Huh? What do you mean? Lin Zhao was a little surprised, and at the same time a little surprised.

Zhe Wenxin said without hurrying: "Polo was introduced to the Central Plains from Tibet, and it is even more popular in the northwest. Because of the lack of horses in the Great Song Dynasty, polo gradually declined, and Keju became popular instead. But in the northwest, especially among the western army, polo is still quite popular. After finishing speaking, he winked lightly at Lin Zhao.

"You mean......" Lin Zhao seemed to understand something.

Zhe Wenxin said with a smile: "Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty introduced polo to the Central Plains, an important purpose was to train cavalry, and Fuzhou has retained this tradition for hundreds of years. ā€

"So, you mean......" Lin Zhao would have fully understood, and it could be said that he was surprised and delighted.

Zhe Wenxin nodded and said: "That's right, these servants who follow me are all soldiers of the Western Army, and they are all first-class bow (polo) masters, including myself, of course, including myself......"

"It's good, it's good, it's really a mountain and a water, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!" Lin Zhao was pleasantly surprised, and when he was in a dilemma, he didn't expect that Origami would be able to help solve this problem.

Before that, there was absolutely no possibility of victory, but now, with the help of Zhe Wenxin and Fuzhou soldiers, the chances of winning this polo game have undoubtedly increased greatly.

The most important thing is that the Tangut people, especially Liang Yiburi himself, until now, did not know that the Song Dynasty polo team had such a major change, and it was inevitable that they would underestimate the enemy. When the time comes, if you take them by surprise and attack them unprepared, you will definitely catch them off guard.

There is no evidence of the assassination, and it cannot directly conflict with it, so I have to endure it for the time being. But it doesn't mean that Lin Zhao can swallow this breath, he must have a good exchange with Liang Yibury on the polo field and thank him for his "love......

"There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." Zhe Wenxin read it in a low voice, looked at Lin Zhao, and exclaimed: "Such a wonderful poem, I didn't expect Lin Langzhong's writing to be so good." ā€œ

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "It's nonsense, it's just a polo game, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you." ā€

"Don't worry, Ah Chang and they are all masters here, and the masters of Fuzhou bow may not be the opponents of the Xixia people." Zhe Wenxin is very confident in this.

"Then thank you, I will arrange it immediately, from this moment on, you will be the coach of the Da Song Polo Team!" Lin Zhao was really in a good mood.

"Where, these are the things we should do." Lin Zhao is so kind to the Zhe family, and Zhe Wenxin has always suffered from having no chance to repay. The polo game can help, and it is more or less a little heart, so I am naturally happy.

Zhe Wenxin said: "But...... Although they can, Achang alone, ...... I think it's better for you to play Lin Langzhong yourself. When the time comes, it will bring unexpected results, and it will be able to surprise the four and add glory to the Great Song Dynasty. ā€

"Me? My skills are really ......" Lin Zhao has participated in polo training recently, but his skills are still relatively average.

"It doesn't matter, in addition to the skill in the polo game, the mount is also very important. Your white horse, but a good horse of the first class, will surely do your best. ā€

Zhe Wenxin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "As for the ball skills, I ...... I can teach you ......"

"In that case, I'll give it a try!" Lin Zhao smiled, there is a beautiful woman to teach, presumably learning polo should be a very happy thing.

Zhe Wenxin also smiled shyly, there was a hint of shyness on his pretty face, it should be a happy thing to be able to fight side by side with him!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a polo game, Lin Zhao was sweating profusely, and as soon as he walked down from the polo field, someone came to report: "Langzhong, Tubo Zampu invites!" ā€

Dong Yu invited? Lin Zhao's heart moved, thinking that there should be some progress in the assassination case.

Progress? Lin Zhao smiled playfully, it should be Dong Yu's strategy. The matter itself is unsolvable, and can only be a compromise after the game.

Compromise is also possible, then it depends on Tubo, or what conditions the Western Xia offers, Lin Zhao will wait and see.

When he came to the Tubo Palace, Lin Zhao obviously noticed that Dong Zhan was a little tired, and he was not as energetic as before.

This is the first time I have seen Dong Yu since the assassination, and I think he must be very busy these days.

"Envoy Lin, how are you resting these days?" Dong Yu asked with a smile, looking very kind.

"With Lao Zampu's concern, everything is fine!" However, when he answered, Lin Zhao's face was gloomy, and he couldn't see the slightest excitement.

Seeing this, Dong Yu asked in a deep voice: "For the assassination of your envoy in Qingtang City, Tubo is very sorry, and I also ask for the forgiveness of Envoy Lin!" ā€

"Zampu doesn't have to apologize, this is Xiaoxiao's doing, and it has nothing to do with Tibet!" Lin Zhao asked in a deep voice, "I heard that General Qingyi Jiejie Ghost Zhang is in charge of investigating this matter, I don't know if there is a result?" ā€

"Don't worry about Envoy Lin, the ghost chapter is investigating with all his might, but there is no progress yet, please forgive me." Dong Yu changed his words and said: "Today, I invited the envoy Lin to come because I want to talk about the tea horse ceremony with Zunjia. ā€

Lin Zhao's heart moved, and it was impossible to make progress in the investigation of the case.

Dong Yu will be curved, okay! Since you want to not offend both sides, and you want to be left and right, then you naturally have to pay more costs.

"Okay, I wonder what Zamp is thinking about?" Lin Zhao is very face-saving.

Dong Yu said with a smile: "Gu has thought about it carefully, the tea horse ceremony is good for both the Tubo and the Song Dynasty, and it is better to put it into practice as soon as possible." ā€

If he wants the Song Dynasty to calm his anger, Dong Yu naturally wants to loosen up on some things. But just agreeing to the tea horse ceremony proposal is so simple, it seems to ...... How could the Song Dynasty's pursuit be so low?

"Okay, but what does Zamp think about this? Is there anything to add? Lin Zhao asked in a deep voice, he wanted to know what Dong Yu's conditions were.

Dong Yu now completely understands that it is absolutely right for the emperor of the Song Dynasty to send Lin Zhaolai, although he is young, he is a rare talent. Do things step by step, reasoned and well-founded, and the courage and strategy are extraordinary.

The most rare thing is to be able to be calm and calm.

To be honest, Dong Yu was still a little worried before, whether Lin Zhao would not be able to hold his breath and directly lead someone to find Liang Yi's bad luck. If the envoys of the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia fought in Qingtang City, it would be a big incident, and Tubo's face would be lost.

The most important thing is that if Lin Zhao is really so reckless, then the greatest advantage and initiative of the Song Dynasty will be lost.

Only now did Dong Yu understand that from beginning to end, his worries were superfluous. Lin Zhao was much more rational than he imagined, even if his life was threatened by such an assassination, he was not alarmed, nor impatient. Calmly and calmly, seek the most favorable solution from it, and strive for greater benefits for yourself.

What a talent! It would be nice if Lin Qibi could be like this!

Dong Yu sighed in his heart, this can only be a luxury forever.

However, the current situation, although Liang Yibu had been forced to agree, let Lin Kuibi marry the princesses of Western Xia and Uighur at the same time. But the benefits of the Tubo were very limited, so what should be used to appease the Song envoys now?

Dong Yu couldn't help but feel a little big!

Negotiations continued, and Lin Zhao quietly awaited an answer.

Dong Yu pondered for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "In order to express my apology and respect for the Great Song Dynasty, Tubo presents an additional 5,000 war horses to the Great Song Dynasty every year. ā€

Five thousand war horses? The number does not seem to be much, but it is only 5,000 per year, which is already a lot of money for the Song Dynasty, which lacked horses.

As for the reason why Zhe Wenxin opened his mouth to buy 2,000 horses, it was because he had a bargaining plan. At the time of the actual transaction, the number of horses will also be discounted. Not to mention long-distance transportation, casualties and losses on the way are inevitable.

In the end, Ali Gu agreed so happily, it was because he was coerced by Lin Zhao. In the end, even if 2,000 war horses were really prepared, it was estimated that they would be transported in batches.

Therefore, Dong Yu's 5,000 horses per year is also reasonable, and it is already a lot.

Lin Zhao thought for a while and groaned: "Otherwise, how about giving Tubo an extra 5,000 catties of tea every year?" ā€

Belch......

Dong Yu knew very well that it was impossible for Lin Zhao to post it upside down at this time, and what he said was completely the opposite. There are already five thousand war horses, and he is not even satisfied......

"Lin Envoy is really polite, there is no need for tea, buy it according to your needs, if there are too many of them, it will be wasted." Dong Yu excused himself with a smile, and then said: "It's a war horse, five thousand seems to be a bit less, why not add another three thousand, a total of eight thousand?" ā€

Eight thousand horses is definitely a lot, but Lin Zhao seems to be not satisfied with the lack of people's hearts.

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "If this is not the case, if you get enough 10,000 horses, how about the Great Song Dynasty buy them with money and goods?" ā€

Belch......

Dong Yu was a little helpless, he didn't expect Lin Zhao's appetite to be so big. Anyway, the matter has come to this point, and if two thousand horses can appease the Song Dynasty, it is naturally the best.

This matter has made people anxious, and Dong Yu really doesn't want to continue to dwell on this matter.

Dong Yu said helplessly: "Lin Envoy said that he laughed, so let's do it, Tubo has given 10,000 war horses to the Great Song Dynasty for five consecutive years, and stopped ...... after five years."

50,000 horses is already a limit for Dong Yu, and the time can't be longer! If too many horses were supplied to the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty's military strength expanded, it was very likely to break this balance, and it might not be beneficial to Tibet.

"Thank you Zampu, let's discuss it in five years!"

For such a result, Lin Zhao is very satisfied. Between talking and laughing, 50,000 war horses will be in hand, which will be a good supplement to the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, and the combat effectiveness will also increase a lot.

As for time, five years is enough......

Lin Zhao vaguely remembered that it seemed that during the reign of Song Shenzong, there was a war between the Song Dynasty and Tubo. I think it's about this time period, but I don't know what the relationship between the two countries will be like five years later?

The first 50,000 war horses are already very content, not to mention the horses exchanged in the tea and horse road, maybe they will have to rely on these war horses in the future, and it is unknown to defeat the Tubo people in turn.

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "Zampu, 50,000 horses in five years, quality and quantity!" ā€

Dong Yu smiled: "That's nature!" Then the envoy of the forest should go back and rest first, as for other things......"

"Okay, thanks Zamp, the most important thing for us now is the game of polo, as for the rest...... I can't take care of it! ā€

The implication is clear!

When the game is over and the goal is achieved, then the assassination is a thing of the past. It's just that some words can't be put on the table and can only be expressed in such an obscure way.

Dong Yu smiled lightly, thinking of the 50,000 war horses, he couldn't help but feel a little painful. It's all to blame Liang Yi for buriing, it seems that he has to ask Xixia to marry more to make up for the loss...... (To be continued.) )
