Chapter 47: Aid to the Misi Division

[Thank you for your support!] Tickets are highly requested! 】

Gao Zunmeng was very interested in his cousin's proposal, and immediately jumped out to help: "Yes, yes, yes!" Dad, you let us go! ”

"Nonsense! You think it's a pleasure! People are going to war, what are you going to do! Gao Jixuan squirted his son with a burst of saliva.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry about us! We are also descendants of a family of military generals, and it is rare to have this opportunity to be immersed in the scene and observe the combat strength of Li Yuanhao and the Tubo army, which is also a good thing for our dynasty! Besides, Li Yuanhao will sooner or later become a big problem for our dynasty, and being able to understand him in advance can be regarded as conforming to the art of war. We'll take care of ourselves, you just let us go! ”

"This ......" Gao Jixuan was still a little hesitant, after all, it was his nephew, and if something went wrong, it would be difficult to explain it to his brother. But he couldn't deny that his nephew was very reasonable, and he should send someone away for any purpose. And as a strategic envoy along the way, it is impossible to go in person, so his juniors are undoubtedly the best candidates.

"Alright! On the way here, Meng'er wants to listen to your brother, you know? ”

Gao Zunmeng responded excitedly: "I know! Children must be obedient! ”

Gao Jixuan was noncommittal to his son's statement, and after thinking about it again, he still asked the family to hang a red lantern at the door.

"Driving, driving, driving......" a team of people galloped on the road from Meizhou to the Tusima tribe, the front three people did not look like the people of the Central Plains, and the two young people in the middle looked excited, followed by ten men in brocade clothes, each with a variety of weapons.

When the group reached a certain mountainside, they finally stopped moving forward, except for the three Tibetans, the remaining twelve people all looked a little unpleasant, but fortunately they were all young and strong people, and they were all fine.

"Brother Niu, you can also come over to eat some dry food and drink some water!" Gao Zunfu relieved himself, took the dry food from his horse, and greeted the pair of mysterious people who were traveling with him.

"Thanks! Gao Gongzi, you can eat by yourself! We coarse people have brought dry food. The man known as Big Brother Niu smiled innocently.

For these ten people, Gao Zunfu and his brothers didn't know the details, except for the one who knew that the leader was called Niu Seventeen, and the others only knew that it was arranged by their uncle, and they didn't think too much about it.

In fact, this team of people is just the Jinyi Guards arranged by Zhao Zhen, and of course their duty is not just to protect these two brothers. Besides, Zhao Zhen didn't know about the existence of these two brothers, and the reason why he arranged it was just to prevent Gao Jixuan from going in person, so as to protect his safety by the way. Although Jinyiwei is a group of people who appear the most in the Guoan Temple, it is not accessible to everyone, it is normal for the two brothers not to know, and their trip is in the name of the "Great Song Military Observation Group".

The first time they went to the plateau area, they inevitably had a certain amount of altitude sickness, and for their group of strong people, after a period of rest, adjustment and adaptation, there was no major problem, so they started to rush again, but the speed slowed down a lot.

Along the way, the two Gao Zunfu brothers did not feel lonely, in addition to the accompanying companions, there were patrol soldiers and caravans passing by from time to time on this road, and in their leisure time, they could also pick up some strange things with them, listen to them brag, and the whole journey was quite comfortable.

Ten days later, they finally arrived at the garrison of Tosimabe, where the atmosphere of war was much stronger, and warriors of various tribes could be seen gathering here. As far as the eye can see, countless tents have been erected on the endless plain, which shows that Tosi Mabe also attached great importance to this war.

In the camp of the Tusima tribe, Talu Andai was discussing the war against the Wusi tribe and Li Yuanhao with the leaders of various small tribes and his subordinates.

"King, the envoy of the Song Kingdom is here!" The servant of Taruandi reported to him.

Everyone in the room smiled when they heard this, if Song Guo could participate in the war as he wished, his side would have a better chance of winning.

"Quick! Hurry up, please! ”

"Yes, King!"

When Lu Andai saw Gao Zunfu and the others enter the big tent, he hurriedly got up and went to greet him: "Everyone has worked hard all the way!" This king is looking forward to you, take a seat! ”

"Thank you, King!" Gao Zunfu and others also saluted.

Answer: Lu Andai sent tea one after another, and then couldn't wait to ask, "What do you call a few people?" ”

"Back to the king, under Gao Zunfu, this is my cousin, he is also the son of Lord Gao Jixuan, and this is the head of the 'Military Observation Mission' sent by my emperor, Lord Niu Seventeen!"

"Hahaha, it's really a hero out of a young man, a few young people can win the trust of the emperor of your country, and they will have a bright future, congratulations!" Alu Andai took Gao Zunfu's hand affectionately and said.

Gao Zunfu said modestly: "The king has won the prize!" We just happened to be at the right time, and my uncle was old, so I and other juniors should stand up for him and walk for the old man, but my uncle couldn't come in person, and he asked him to confess to the king! ”

"Say that! If it weren't for these troubles, this king should have visited the tall people! They are not outsiders, and this king is not polite, I don't know how His Majesty the Emperor of your country will reply to this king's request? ”

Alu Andai and the other leaders looked at Gao Zunfu expectantly, and he owed: "Back to the king, my emperor severely condemns the Wusi tribe and Li Yuanhao who are regional peace saboteurs, and I also want to help your ministry repel these ill-intentioned people. However, my Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is a virtuous king, and he cannot ignore the opinions of the courtiers and insist on going his own way, and in the face of many opposition from the ministers of the court, my emperor cannot directly send troops to participate in the war. ”

Seeing that everyone's mood was gradually depressed, Gao Zunfu suddenly raised his voice: "But...... My emperor could not bear to see his friends in distress and stand idly by. Therefore, our emperor tried his best to persuade the courtiers many times, and only then did he reach a compromise with the courtiers. I wonder if the king would be interested in hearing about it? ”

"Master Gao, please speak!" Aluan Dai said kindly.

"King Xie! After many understandings, my emperor found that your department has more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and when facing Wu Si and Li Yuanhao, the difference in the number of soldiers is not large, and the biggest disadvantage is in terms of equipment. If your ministry can have more sophisticated equipment, with the help of this magical land given to your ministry by God, coupled with brave and skilled soldiers, it must not be difficult to defeat Li Yuanhao and the Wusi tribe, and maybe you can ask Wusi for more land compensation. What does the king think? ”

On this occasion, Talu Andai and the little leaders under him will definitely not admit that the soldiers under his command are wretched, even if they slap their swollen faces, they have to rush this fat man up.

"What His Majesty the Emperor of your country said is incisive and reasonable, and this king admires it very much! This king had previously had a brief confrontation with Li Yuanhao's forward, and he still had the upper hand, but he didn't know that the enemy army suddenly rushed out of a well-equipped heavy cavalry, which was simply invulnerable, which was very disadvantageous to our army. In addition, the Wusi tribe colluded with foreign tribes to plot the king's territory, so that the king fell into a crisis of being attacked from both sides, so I had to ask your country for help! ”

"Rest assured, King! Although our emperor cannot send troops to help, my emperor promises to help your troops repel the enemy. For this reason, our emperor decided to provide your ministry with a batch of the latest sophisticated weapons developed by our dynasty, and even our army is still poorly equipped, so for the sake of your ministry, our emperor does not hesitate to suspend the equipment of our army. ”

"Uh, dare you ask what kind of equipment it is?" Answer: Lu Andai's eyes lit up.

"Of course, I happened to bring one with me this time, please wait a while!"

After Gao Zunfu finished speaking, he took a wooden box from Niu Seventeen, quickly picked up the parts inside and began to assemble it......

"Got it, King, look at it! This is the most advanced repeater in my dynasty, and in order to meet the needs of your immediate battle, our emperor has specially changed it. This repeater can shoot thirty times in a row, with a range of more than 100 paces, even if you say that heavy cavalry, it must not be spared within fifty paces. Think again, if you have a cavalry armed with such a repeater, do you have to fear the heavy cavalry! You can let your cavalry drag those heavy cavalry around, swimming and shooting at the same time, this is the top-level equipment and 'kite flying' tactics tailored by our emperor for your troops, and you will be invincible in this land when the time comes!" ”

"Is this really that powerful?"

"If the king doesn't believe it, give it a try! Please move the king outside the account and bring it to demonstrate one or two below! ”

"Gao Gongzi, please!"

Under the orders of Taluan Dai, the test site was quickly set up outside the account, and targets were placed at the positions of 100 and 50 paces respectively, and the armor was put on like the heavy cavalry.

Gao Zunfu took the repeater, loaded a few arrows first, and corrected the crossbow arrows with a target of fifty paces. After adjusting, he loaded a slow box of arrows and shot them all at two targets at a rapid pace.

After some inspection, although the accuracy is not high, especially the target of 100 steps, the middle is only 12/10, and the target of 50 steps has been improved to half. But the speed was astonishing, a full thirty arrows took only a few breaths, and the penetrating effect was also gratifying on a target of fifty paces. This experiment can be said to have been a relatively complete success, and it has also successfully aroused the ** of Lai Lu Andai.

When Gao Zunfu saw the sparkling eyes of Talu Andai and his group of leaders, he knew that the purpose of his visit this time was at least half of the success.

"Master Gao, I don't know how much of this kind of repeater your majesty the emperor plans to help?" Answer: Lu Andai asked with some trembling.

"Back to the king, this crossbow is complicated to make, and the production speed is extremely slow, so far there are not many of them. Moreover, as you know, our dynasty is not good at producing horses, and war horses are even more scarce, and it is precisely because of this that our dynasty is always bullied in the north, and there is no way to take other people's cavalry. Our emperor had to work hard to develop this repeater, trying to use it to defend against the enemy's aggression. However, in order to help your ministry, our emperor had to give you these equipment first, but the ministers of the court and the central government were very opposed, so they proposed that your ministry must exchange war horses for these repeaters, you see? ”

You know that there is no such thing as a free lunch!

A Lu'an muttered in his heart, but his face did not change in the slightest, if it wasn't for the previous conflict with Li Yuanhao, his demand for this thing would not be so intense, but after really seeing the power of heavy cavalry, he had to admit that the Emperor of the Song State said that it would be better to use this thing to fly people's "kites".

After a short trade-off between the war horse and the country, Alu Andai made a wise choice: "Gao Gongzi, I don't know what kind of change the emperor of your country plans to make?" ”

"Back to the king, I won't tell you that some ministers of our court originally wanted to take this opportunity to knock you hard, but my emperor is a noble person, and he resolutely disagrees with their idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob. Finally, after discussing and calculating the cost, our emperor decided to exchange the cost price, that is, the price of a repeating crossbow and the same war horse, with your ministry at the same price. In addition, because I lack the horses to pull goods, I hope that I can exchange my standard equipment for your horses, and if the leaders here also have this intention, they can also send someone to Meizhou to negotiate with Lord Gao. I don't know, what does the king think? ”

Answer: Lu Andai looked at the yearning eyes of the younger brothers, and he not only felt a little unhappy. This exchange ratio is not a problem for him, the problem is that he can't let his little brother surpass him, otherwise how can he mix up with his boss. But he can't just stop the little brother so clearly, otherwise it will be very bad to get the centrifugal departure at this critical time.

However, this is difficult to answer Lu Andai, who has been a big brother for several years, how can he not have a little means, he rolled his eyes, and immediately counted on his mind. (To be continued.) )
