Chapter 31: The Sword River Oath
Jianchuan, a small village of the Luo Zhizhao, Xiao Quzhi took five personal guards, as well as four people from the Dali Duan clan and the Sihai Trading Company, and was negotiating with the leaders of the twelve tribes of the same size, such as the Luoluo Zhizhao, the Langqiong Zhao, and the Xuan Zhao who were entrenched in Jianchuan, about the return of the barbarians to the Tang Dynasty.
Zhu Ling'er really did it, a person could speak five or six languages, so she served as Xiao Quai's translator, and there were basically no obstacles to the communication between the two sides, and the peace talks went smoothly.
Funny enough, the only problem is that the psychological expectations of both parties are completely different.
The appeal of the barbarians in Jianchuan is that the barbarians return to the Tang Dynasty, which belongs to the previous status of the state of bondage, and the local leaders still manage the clansmen, who can pay taxes and serve labor, but the taxes and labor cannot be too heavy, and the Tang soldiers cannot oppress the barbarians, and allow them to form a village to defend themselves.
However, the conditions given by Xiao Qubing are that they are allowed to retain their troops, set up a village to defend themselves, and still manage the clansmen by the local chief, but they are exempt from paying taxes for three years, and the taxes will be very light and light in the future.
Secondly, the Sihai Business Society built a primary school in the local area, and the school-age children of the barbarian leaders must go to the primary school to read and write, and they do not charge tuition and lunch, and other children can also go, which will charge tuition, and they are not afraid of no money, and their parents will go to the workshop of the Sihai Business Company to work.
In short, the conditions given by Xiao Quai's side were completely better than they expected. Then these barbarian leaders did not understand in all sorts. All sorts of suspicions. All sorts of disbelief.
Why, why is the King of Lanling in the Tang Dynasty so good? The Tang people are indeed not as brutal and greedy as the Tibetans, but they are not fools, since they can't do it, they are deceitful, and since they are deception, they want to deceive them into obedience, and after defeating the Tibetans. Knife them again.
In short, these barbarian leaders, with their inherent cognition, all kinds of speculation about Xiao Qu's intentions, all kinds of brain supplements.
However, Duan Jianwei and Xiao went to illness and spent a lot of saliva patiently explaining how good the king of Lanling was, and the purpose of Tiance Mansion was that as long as they were loyal to the Tang Dynasty, they could be treated preferentially, and all ethnic groups were equal; After how the Four Seas Trading Company operated, and how to make money without losing money, these tribal leaders slowly relaxed and became excited. was going to kowtow to Xiao Quai, and was supported by Xiao Quai's illness one by one.
"You don't have to be like that. I, the king of Lanling of the Tang Dynasty, the general of the hussars, and the commander of the Tiance Mansion, can swear to the heavens that as long as you are dedicated to the Tang Dynasty and never rebel against the Tang Dynasty, the conditions promised by this king to the tribes will never change. ”
The Lord of the Imperial Decree was so happy that he burst into tears, and said loudly: "Heaven bless, let us Jianchuan barbarians meet the great savior of King Lanling. King Lanling rest assured, Datang is so to us, we swear to the sky, from now on loyal to Datang, never rebel against Tang, if you have two hearts, you should suffer from ten thousand insects devouring your brain! ”
Zhu Ling'er translated and explained in a whisper, ten thousand insects devouring the brain is one of the most powerful and vicious Gu techniques here, after the eggs of the Gu worms are eaten or sucked into the body, they will hatch in the body, do not drill anywhere else, just drill into the head, bite the cerebral marrow, once the Gu person has an attack that is incurable, if he does not commit suicide, he will suffer five days of inhuman torture, and the pain will be so painful that he will scratch his face and scalp, and it can be seen that the bones still do not stop, and the death is extremely tragic, and he shuddered when he heard Xiao Quai.
The leaders of the other tribes also cursed and swore one after another, at this time, the lord of the edict loudly asked people to bring a big basin, which was to drink the blood wine oath, Xiao Quzhi said loudly, you must let the edict lord and the head taste the wine of the Four Seas Trading Company, and the two managers of the Four Seas Trading Company pulled out a few bottles of immortal drunken wood stoppers and poured the liquor into the big basin.
The mellow aroma of wine rose to the nose, and every edict lord and head couldn't help but sniffle, in fact, before this, such an immortal drunk wine, the people of the Four Seas Trading Company gave them a bottle, it is indeed the best wine, the wine is fragrant and mellow, it is too strong, they are reluctant to drink, I heard that a bottle will be sold for twenty times, seeing that the king of Lanling is such a tyrant, everyone's throat can't help but swallow saliva.
Shi Lang Zhao Lord Shi Wangqian brought a big rooster, pulled out a knife and cut it on the neck of the chicken, dripped the chicken blood into the wine, the original pure white as water immortal drunk was quickly dyed blood red, the little girl of Luo Zhizhao took more than 20 wine bowls, used a wooden spoon to divide all the blood wine into the wine bowl, and then each little girl brought it to each person who participated in the oath.
Xiao was a fifteen-year-old, very beautiful and petite little girl, who was said to be the precious daughter of the lord of the edict, called Ah Youduo.
She held the wine bowl in both hands, and looked at Xiao Quzhi with a pair of big watery eyes, I don't know if it was because Xiao Quzhi was too handsome, or the little girl was too nervous, Xiao Quzhi could obviously hear the little girl's heartbeat a little strong, and the bowl serving the wine was also a little trembling.
Xiao Quzhi took the wine bowl with a smile, nodded to her and thanked her, then poured qi and blood into his eyes, glanced at the blood wine in the wine bowl, and was ready to drink it dry in one gulp.
At this moment, Zhu Ling'er's face beside him turned obviously pale, Xiao Quzhi removed the wine bowl from his mouth, and asked with concern: "Ling'er, what's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing...... Zhu Ling'er's face was red and white, biting her lip and obviously unnatural, but she said nothing, who would believe it!
But at this time, it is inconvenient for Xiao Qubing to ask more, according to the rules here, all parties swear that people with high status drink first, more than a dozen pairs of eyes are against themselves, Xiao Qubing picked up the wine bowl again, glanced around at everyone, and then said loudly: "There is heaven above, there is earth below, there are various gods in the middle, I Xiao Qubing swore an oath with the leaders of the tribes in Jianchuan today, Tiance Mansion and various tribes, become brothers, from then on, the Han and barbarians are like a family, if there is a lie or repeated, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" ”
After speaking, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the wine bowl until there was no left, and then turned the wine bowl outward, turned it upside down and turned it half a circle, so that everyone could see it.
The edicts and chieftains finally put their minds at ease, and according to the customs of their side, they have sworn an oath and drank blood wine, and everything can be settled, and it will not change until death.
And these tribal leaders can be regarded as reading countless people, and it is not wrong to look at people, this young prince who is only twenty-three years old is really immortal jade, warm as jade, his eyes are clear, like a child, such a fairy figure, since he has made an oath, there is no possibility of violating it.
"Good! From now on, King Lanling is the relative of all of our Jianchuan barbarians! ”
The leaders of the edict shouted loudly, and then each picked up the wine bowl, starting with the edict lord and drinking the wine after swearing loudly one by one.
Because the wine was so strong, they hardly drank it before, and some of the leaders drank so violently that they were a little unsteady on their feet, which caused a burst of laughter.
Subsequently, according to the previous agreement, the two sides made way by the Jianchuan tribes, and put 15,000 Tiance troops and 20,000 Baiban troops from Dali Prefecture to the north of Jianchuan, and the Jianchuan barbarians also supported 20,000 troops as auxiliaries and logistics troops.
However, what is unexpected is that the Tubo army that the Jianchuan barbarians were worried about before would be angry and turn their faces to slaughter the tribes did not happen, but the actual situation was that when Xiao Qubing formed an alliance with the barbarians, the 70,000 Tubo army quietly went north and withdrew to the Shenchuan Governor's Mansion.
So the 55,000 Tiance, Dali, and the barbarian coalition army followed the pace of the 70,000 Tubo army, all the way to the southwest of the Shenchuan Governor's Mansion, camped on the road, and sent an envoy to see the Tubo general Enlan Dazarugon, and made an appointment for a decisive battle, what is even more unexpected is that Enlan Dazarugon actually agreed, and replied to the envoy that five days later, near the town of Lashi, twenty miles southeast of the Shenchuan Governor's Mansion, the two sides fought a decisive battle, and the victory or defeat was decided!
That night, in the Tang Army camp, Xiao Quai's Chinese army marshal's tent, Xiao Quai's bed hugged Zhu Ling'er's delicate and perfect body, and he was so happy that he had already flew.
Compared with He Keer, Zhu Linger is much more enthusiastic, enthusiastic and active, although Xiao Qu'er is happy at the same time, he faintly feels a little sorry for He Keer, but this kind of new stimulation and experience is indeed difficult to get in Keer.
In addition, tonight's Zhu Ling'er seemed extremely obsessed, and took the initiative to ask again and again, although Xiao Qu's illness also felt a little strange, but at present, this strangeness and guilt for He Ke'er were thrown out of the clouds, and she soon enjoyed it, was intoxicated, and lingered.
Almost an hour later, the two guards were finally stimulated to run away, standing in the distance guards, and their hearts kept slandering, this Zhu Ling'er is really a little goblin who is excessively demanding, and the king of Lanling, is it because he has been abstinent for too long before, and he can't come by temperament. Thanks to the fact that the Great Commander is a half-immortal physique, in a few days, he will not have his body hollowed out, and we outside the tent will also have more than 10,000 points of damage!
Thinking of this, the two guards couldn't help but think of the enthusiasm of the women here, because after the rise of Mengshezhao, they fought everywhere, and the barbarian men in this area, as well as Nanzhao's own adult men, almost half of them were killed in battle.
As a result, there are many school-age girls who can't get married, and there are many more charming little widows, all of whom have autumn water in their eyes, and their eyes are very hot.
Dali Prefecture, as well as the leaders of the Jianchuan barbarians, have already agreed with the commander, as long as the 70,000 Tubo army on the opposite side is defeated, a three-day carnival will be held, and then you can be like that bonfire celebration, which woman you like, you can come forward to court, as long as the other party nods, the two sides can be a dew couple, happy for three nights.
Thinking of this, the two guards were a little enthusiastic, not to mention, for the sake of these beautiful girls, the decisive battle in five days will also cut down the 70,000 Tibetan barbarians, and there will be no one left. (To be continued.) )
