31. Aage

At the age of thirty, Ah Re became the leader of the Black Yabu, and at the age of forty, he sat in the Grand Alliance Liso (the chief magistrate, the actual leader), and the average life expectancy of the Jiankun people was about thirty-five years old, so Ah Re felt that his life had come, and he didn't know when he would take himself in Changshengtian, and he felt that he needed to fight for the greater interests of the tribe while he was alive.

If the tribe wants to live as freely as the Yellow Eagle, they must make the Uighurs who believe in the Celestial Wolf completely submit to them, at least not in the condescending manner they do now.

Following this great ideal, from the age of thirty when he became the head of the tribe, Age led the tribe to constantly attack the Uighurs, attack, and attack, and must keep attacking like the Yellow Eagle in order to drive the wolf out of the grassland, and without the wolf's grassland, his people can live as freely as the Yellow Eagle.

Over the years, he has fought countless battles, at least more than ninety percent of them have won, among which there are many classic examples of winning more with less, such as the Battle of Dahe Lashout and the Battle of Cobalt Blue River, the former Age defeated the 30,000 Heavenly Wolf Army with 2,000 people, and the beheaded heads were piled up into a hill, and the exhausted Jiankun warriors didn't even have the strength to count how many heads there were, in short, there were too many,

If the battle of Dahe Lashout has an element of opportunism and is not so glorious, then the battle of Cobalt Blue River has left the opponent completely speechless, that time the Jiankun people dispatched thirteen troops of about 13,000 cavalry, and the number of the Heavenly Wolf Army exceeded 80,000, and they were led by the Khan's brother Naxi Khan, one of the few great warriors of the Uighurs,

The reason why the battle was delayed for so long was because it rained heavily soon after the war, the bows and crossbows could not be used, and all the heads were cut off with scimitars.

The 50,000 Celestial Wolf Army had their heads cut off and 18,000 people captured, and the only regret of this battle was that they did not kill or capture the opposing commander, Nashi Khan.

This battle not only allowed Age to see the face of the Uighurs but also their insides, they were really rotten, after those two great battles, the Jiankun warriors no longer looked at the wolf cubs, they had become the overlords of this steppe,

The short-sighted elders of the clan have begun to live their lives in peace, but Age is still not reconciled, even if the Jiankun people have achieved a great victory and become the overlord of everyone's side, but he is not yet the master of the whole grassland, the rotten and cowardly Uighurs still occupy the most abundant area of this grassland, they rely on the power of their ancestors, and they are the lords of the grassland to be worshipped, and they must be completely defeated, gallop in front of their courtyards, and enjoy their glory and worship from all directions,

Therefore, when the Khan of Zhangxin sent an envoy to invite Age to send troops against the rebellious Khitans, Age laughed and said to the Uighur envoy: "I, the son of the Yellow Eagle, am not the slave of your werewolves, and I am asked to die for him with a piece of paper?" ”

The Uighur envoy hurriedly said: "If the eagle's talons punish the rebellious Khitans, then all the food in his mouth will be given to the khan." ”

Ah Re said: "You mean that the children of Big Rock City belong to me." ”

The Uighur envoy said: "My Khan is not short of use, but only hates the Khitans for being rude." ”

A yellow-bearded old man, Ah Ge's master, asked, "The Uighurs have 300,000 warriors, so why don't you punish the rude Khitans yourself?" ”

The Uighur envoy replied: "The Khitan is a vassal of my khan, and although it is rude, it is not a crime, and my main army has no reason to convince the people. ”

Ah Ge laughed and said, "You Uighurs have been with the Tang people for a long time, and you have learned to be pedantic, and if you want to fight, you will fight, and those who are strong will be kings." ”

So he announced in court: "Repay your master, ask me to send troops, and all the jade silk of the children of Dashicheng must belong to me, and I will be called Khan with him, and I will ask him to contribute 10,000 horses and a million arrows, and when the army marches, you must provide grain and grass everywhere you go, so as to make the cost of the army." ”

The yellow-bearded old man added: "I also want your master to withdraw the military horses stationed on my border, lest my family go on an expedition and you take my back road." ”

The Khitan envoy said: "It may be difficult to prepare a million arrows for a while, so 300,000 will be supplied first, and the rest will arrive one after another." ”

Ah Ge said: "Well, just because there are no arrows, you can't stop fighting. He squinted his eyes and asked the messenger, "I will make a covenant with your Lord, have you done so?" ”

The envoy shook his hand and said, "I have the right to cheapen, and although the Khan has made a contract with me, my master will not allow it." ”

Ah Re stretched his waist and said, "If you want to say that signing a contract is also a headache, let's ask Master Wu to discuss with the envoy first." ”

Master Wu's real name is Wu Le, one of the four elders under Ah Re's account, and his status is equivalent to that of the Hanlin Bachelor in the Tang Palace, Zhang Wenhan, and a consultant.

Wu Le took the order and went out to make a contract with the Uighur envoy, and as soon as the envoy left, Ah Reha laughed, and everyone laughed together, and the yellow-bearded old man twisted his beard and smiled: "To paraphrase the words of the Tang people, this is called 'Just about to doze off, someone brought a pillow'." ”

The yellow-bearded old man's name is to love Malahan, he is a great cannibal, a learned man, the first of the four elders, and is deeply trusted by Age.

Ah Reling left the golden melon: "Decree the heads of the various departments, the golden horde." "Holding the gourd is the captain of the guard, the Jiankun system, each clan leader has six people under the account, divided into three classes of guards every day, Jiankun people respect the right, the right is not far from the leader, the left is under the right gourd, often out of the account to do errands, as the alliance Lisuo, there are twelve people under the account of Azhe, and there are three classes of guards, two people in the guard tent, two guards outside the tent,

As early as before Zhangxin Khan sent an envoy to Jiankun, Yang Hao got the news, the news was found by the branch of the Inner Temple Fang in the Uighur royal court, which played a key role in the Kulub family's Quelina, she was nominally a foreign nobleman living in the Uighur royal court at the moment, but in fact she was the secret lover of Zhangxin Khan, her affair with Zhangxin Khan has long been known to everyone, in addition to not being able to enter the palace, her figure is active in every corner of the royal court, is the guest of many dignitaries,

In the eyes of many people, she is just a broken aristocrat who sells her hue, climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix, and then sells the heavy but useless heavy armor equipment made by her family to make huge profits.

Those heavy armor did make a lot of benefits for her, but there were other people who really supported her extravagant life, it was originally the Zuo Mansion, and now it is Xiao Tsing Yi and the Military Division Hall (Nei Sifang), she got a large amount of benefits from them, and then sold the confidential information she obtained on various occasions, with the identity of Zhangxin Khan's mistress as a cover, she can swagger through the market under the nose of the royal court magistrate, and her body is not stained, of course, she can ensure that she is in danger, safe and sound, and the two hands of Xiao Tsing Yi and the Military Division Hall, They all regard her as a first-class source of information, and they go to great lengths to protect her.

As a professional intelligence dealer, the merry Mrs. Quilina has no professional ethics, in order to make a profit, all the information she gets is sold at a high price without exception, the Military Division Hall and Xiao Qingyi are not unaware, but until they find a replacement, no one wants to offend this goose that can only lay golden eggs,

When Yang Hao got a copy of the covenant signed between Age and the Uighurs, it was already cool in autumn, and the autumn was high and fat, and it was the time to use troops, at the end of summer, it rained twice in Dashicheng, although the rain was not large, but it still gave the soldiers and civilians defending the city a trace of illusion: it seems that God does not mean to kill them all, and sure enough, it seems that you can survive a little longer, maybe you will survive,

Two rains wet the ground, the reduction of floating dust, to relieve the shortage of drinking water did not do much, so in the late summer and early autumn, a self-proclaimed private chamber of commerce organization out of the city with a white flag, begging Yang Hao to sell water to them, in order to relieve the people, the people who came to negotiate spoke very artistically, he told Yang Hao that the defenders in the city occupied Daze, monopolized the distribution of Daze water sources, and brutally exploited the people, because there was a little stinky water in their hands, it was unrealistic to expect the defenders to surrender immediately, people are like this, they don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin,

If the great commander is willing to sell some water to the people in the city, then the people will not only get great benefits, but also win the good reputation of all living beings, water, even if it is just a little bit, can completely wash away the notoriety of causing great disasters to the city because of the water cut.

Yang Hao asked him: "I am willing to sell water, how can you get it." ”

The messenger replied: "The great commander can bring water to the east gate, and we will bribe the soldiers guarding the gate to open the small gate, and trade three watches every night, with one hand of money and one hand." ”

Yang Hao said with a smile: "Since you have a way, what else can I say, I came to hang the people and fight crimes, and the punishment was the cruel and unkind Kerre and Lu Meng, and I have nothing to do with the people, if you want to buy water, I will sell it to you, with one hand of money and one hand of goods." ”

The messenger was overjoyed, and prostrated again and again, and asked, "Please show me how much silver taels a bucket of water is." ”

Yang Hao stretched out his five fingers and shook them, and the messenger panicked: "Ten taels of silver a bucket, how can my small people have so much money." ”

Yang Hao said: "Don't use that much, a bucket of water, a thousand Wen." ”

The envoy was a little relieved, wiped his sweat, but immediately became nervous again: "How big is the bucket that the Great Commander said, it won't be a small bucket." ”

Yang Hao laughed, and asked the attendant to bring in a wooden barrel, it seemed that it could hold forty or fifty catties of water at a time, Yang Hao said: "Just take it as the standard, you can take it back, build it as it is, and use it to carry water in the future." Yang Hao also designated Lu Guang, the counselor of the Military Division Department, to specifically agree with him on the time and code of the first transaction.

Then the messenger went with great thanks,

As soon as he left, the generals laughed and said, "Happy, happy, a bucket of water sells for a thousand wen, and it won't be long before all the belongings in the city come to my camp." ”

Zhang Bozhong said: "The meaning is not here, Ah Ge's army will arrive in a month, let them breathe a sigh of relief, so that they can fight with Ah Ge." ”

After successfully negotiating and selling water, the urgent need was solved, and Clare breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Lu Meng, Yin Yisi and others: "It seems that Galgudu is also a shallow-eyed person, and this little favor sent him away." ”

Yin Yi sipped and said, "Take this opportunity, let's buy more water, there is water and food, and see if he can fly in." ”

Lu Meng said: "Yin Yi sipped this is wrong, buying water on a large scale at this moment, wouldn't it make him suspicious, the water bought every day is enough for the army and civilians to drink, and we will consume it with him, and when the wolf army arrives, he will naturally escape." ”

Clarge said: "What the governor said is extremely true. He sneered at Yin Yi: "My brother's knowledge is poor." ”

Yin Yi was not ashamed, raised his glass and said: "A certain talent, the big stone city can stand tall, it all depends on the Lu Du Overseer Wei Hehe, I propose that we pay tribute to the Du Du Governor for a cup." ”

Everyone responded violently, but Clare's face was a little unsightly, and he looked at it in his eyes and was happy in his heart,

Lu Meng stood up with a wine glass and said: "Yin Yi Sip said that it is bad, it is not Lu Meng's credit that Big Rock City can hold on to this day, but the credit of the city lord's strategy, this cup of wine, we respect the city lord together." ”
