Chapter 90: The Good One Doesn't Come
(Thanks to the alliance, the support is too thick.) Thank you Chubby, Hammer S)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yanqi country, Wang Zhiyuan Qucheng, living in the north of the West Sea, fishing and hunting in the coastal sea, there are 4,000 households, more than 32,000 mouths, and 6,000 victorious soldiers. The king Lusse succeeded to the throne for more than ten years, and was in the prime of life. The generals of the country include one auxiliary marquis, one commander of Hu Hou, one of Hu Hou, one of the left and right generals, one of the left and right commanders, two of each of Hu Duwei and Hu Jun, and three translators.
The above is the general information of Yanqi Kingdom told by Chen Tang for Zhang Fang during the waiting period. Yanqi is only more than 400 miles away from the Duhu Mansion, and it is one of the few large states in the Western Regions, as the deputy lieutenant Chen Tang, naturally has to do some homework.
Among them, Chen Tang focused on a situation that attracted Zhang Fang's attention. Before the Han Dynasty set up the Western Regions Protectorate, that is, more than 20 years ago, the Yanqi Kingdom was the servant capital of the Xiongnu. The so-called servant Duwei was the highest military and political leader set up by the Xiongnu in the Western Regions, supervising the states of the Western Regions, collecting taxes and contributions, and controlling the Silk Road, and its function was similar to that of the Western Regions Protectorate of the Han Dynasty. It may also be that the inspiration of the servant Du Wei gave birth to the emergence of the Western Regions Protectorate.
If in the early second century BC, the Western Regions were the colonies of the Xiongnu, then Yanqi was the colonial center. From the king to the generals, to the people, they were deeply influenced by the Xiongnu, even if the southern Xiongnu were attached at this time, and the northern Xiongnu fled far away, it was still difficult to eliminate the influence accumulated by the Xiongnu for centuries.
After all, the Han Dynasty is too far away, the Xiongnu are too close, and it is difficult for people to have a sense of security. In particular, there was an incident in which the Han envoy Gu Ji was killed by the Xiongnu Shan Yu, which lasted for more than ten years, and the Han Dynasty only let go of the mouth cannon (three times to send envoys to accountability), and never saw the real thing. The countries of the Western Regions gradually have a slight resignation, and they are even more sluggish.
Zhang Fang still remembered that when Chen Tang talked about this, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, looking angry. But if you don't fight yourself, what can you do? Dozens of countries in the Western Regions, large and small, have always believed in strength. It is not easy to convince people with virtue, and it is only popular here to convince people with force.
Sure enough, Zhang Fang soon experienced this kind of "slackness", or rather, it was more serious than slackness. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dismount.
In the face of such a dismount, Chen Tang just put down the sleeves that covered his face, waved back the servants in front of him, didn't care about the wind and sand in front of him, and opened his mouth and said loudly: "Chen Tang is here, welcome the marquis and the king." ”
The wind and sand swept over, Zhang Fang lifted the curtain, and saw the elders dismounted together a hundred steps ahead, obviously seeing that they had rehearsed in advance, but the movements were still not very neat. This can't be done, neat and uniform, and the rules are square, which is the natural shortcoming of nomads.
Under the banner of the king of Bai, a white-robed man who had only seen his beard and no face saluted from afar, and laughed loudly: "Lu Sai meets Chen Jun." ”
In terms of identity, Chen Tangke, who represents the Metropolitan Protectorate, orders the countries of the Western Regions, but in ordinary interactions, he can't talk about who is higher and who is lower, so Lu Sai said that he was a visit, and he lowered his posture. Moreover, the subordinates dismounted together, saluted very respectfully, and put on a humble posture, so that people could not find fault with it. But what about the previous moves? Former and backward? Or hit a stick and hand a carrot?
In fact, since Chen Tang and below, all the sergeants have been disgraced, and everyone is so angry in their stomachs, but what can you do? The strange man is too fierce, or does he complain about the head-on wind?
Zhang Fang leaned out and said to Chen Tang next to the car: "King Yanqi took advantage of the situation, not only gave us a dismount, but also pretended to be a posture, this face is sour." Chen Jun, what is the solution? ”
Chen Tangcha pointed to his beard, dusted off the sand grains mixed in his beard, and said calmly: "A gentleman fights for a lifetime, not for a while, he will pull it out first." ”
"What Chen Jun said is not unreasonable." Zhang Fang jumped out of the car and stretched, "Let's go, let's go meet this Yanqi King." ”
The Han soldiers dismounted one after another and stood still. Chen Tang and Zhang Fang walked forward with four servants.
On the opposite side, King Yanqi also ushered in with a few generals, and the two sides gradually approached. On King Yanqi's side, someone recognized Chen Tang and alluded to King Yanqi to show him, but King Yanqi's gaze gradually deviated from Chen Tang and turned to the young man beside him.
It didn't matter what he looked at, but his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but ask the subordinates around him: "Who is that young man?" Is it Chen Jun's concubine cross-dressing, or is it ......"
Before he finished speaking, the subordinates around him understood: "Male pet." ”
Lu Sai sighed a few times: "The land of the Han family is different, and some are good goods." ”
As the distance approached, Yan Qi Junchen could already determine that this young man was not Yi Hai, but a real man, and that lofty aura could not be possessed by women.
The two sides approached ten steps, saluted each other, and without waiting for Yan Qi Junchen to ask, Chen Tang solemnly introduced: "This is Zhang Gongzi, the prince of the Marquis of Fuping of the Han Dynasty, who went out to study and met by chance. ”
Chen Tang's words are simple, and too much information is hidden, such as the identity of the nephew of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, such as the battle of Hu that shocked the states of Northern Dao, which was really because of Zhang Fang, and so on. That's what Zhang Fang demanded, and he didn't want to be too conspicuous - even though his appearance was eye-catching enough.
There are no less than 100 marquis in the Han Dynasty, not to mention Saiwai, even if it is the Han realm, if it is not the land of Sanfu or the home of the eunuchs, ordinary people will not know what the concept of Fuping Marquis is, and of course the king of Yanqi does not know.
However, just the title of a marquis prince is enough to make the Yanqi monarch put away his eyes and dare not be disrespectful.
Zhang Fang returned the salute with a smile, and said in a voice so low that only Chen Tang could hear clearly: "I said, can you really bear this anger?" Not planning to pump it back? ”
Chen Tang was stunned, Huo Ran was startled, and before he could say the words "can't make a mistake", he saw that Zhang Fang had already taken a few steps forward, and folded his sleeves: "Thank you Yan Qijun and all the generals and ministers for coming out to greet - in fact, it's okay to greet them, and the big gift of kneeling is not necessary, right?" I'm so sorry ......."
Chen Tang and a few servants were confused. What the? Kneel? When did people say they were going to kneel? This son is not confused.
At this moment, Chen Tang saw that after Zhang Fang finished saying this, he looked up at Yanqi Wang Lu Sai. Next, Lusse's move surprised everyone.
But seeing Lu Sai suddenly raise his hand, his voice was so loud that it could be heard for two miles: "Yanqi soldiers, kneel to welcome Chen Jun, Zhang Gongzi and the strong men of the Han army." ”
Everyone was dumbfounded. This gift is too heavy, isn't it? I'm afraid that only when I visited the Huns and servants would I make such a big salute, right?
For a while, I only heard the wind and sand blowing, the geese chirping, and the audience was silent.
Lusse's eyes were blank, but his voice was cold and hard: "Those who do not obey the king's orders will be killed!" ”
Bang bang!
The dust rose again, but this time it was not the galloping of swift cavalry, but the sound of a hundred knees knocking on the ground.
Up and down the Yanqi Kingdom, only Lu Sai stood, and everyone knelt down.
Facing away from the extremely shocked Chen Tang and the soldiers of the Han army, Zhang put his hand to accept the salute, and said leisurely: "Yan Qijun, I don't know if you have heard a Han proverb that says, 'Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come'." ”
