Chapter 31: The Safety of Domestic Animals

"The four towns are rich and elite, and they are all superb. I also heard that the soldiers were sacrificed, which was enough to calm the wind and dust. The old horse knows that the goshawk is hungry. Fight for a long time in danger, and start with urgency like a god......"

Zhang Mai and the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion sang generous songs, drove flocks of sheep, and walked on the way back to the valley. There are also some people of Hu origin in the Longxiang camp, and they still stammer in Chinese, but they have learned a few Tang Dynasty songs, and they are not suffocated when they sing. Guo Shiyong led the Sanwu battalion to break off and eliminate all kinds of traces.

The Longxiang battalion has won all the battles, its morale has been greatly boosted, and all the hard work in the previous training seems to have paid off.

Back in Dengxia Valley, there were already people waiting at the valley entrance, but it was not Guo Fen but Guo Taihang, Zhang Mai couldn't help but be slightly disappointed.

But seeing that Guo Taixing couldn't wait to take people to count the spoils, Zhang Mai shouted: "Leave me one hundred and fifty sheep, and I will reward the meritorious soldiers tonight!" ”

"One hundred and fifty sheep!" Guo Taixing shouted: "Special envoy, you went out this time and grabbed this little thing, even if all of it is put into storage, it will not make much difference, and you still have to deduct one hundred and fifty heads?" ”

Zhang Mai smiled: "I don't care if there is a supplement or not, a big supplement or a small supplement." Anyway, you leave me something! After taking the soldiers for a few months, he and the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion gradually developed feelings, and slowly understood why the generals in Yan SΓΉ's film and television works were biased towards their subordinates - usually not good to them, who will follow you desperately when it is critical!

At this time, Zhang Mai opened his mouth to ask for something, Guo Taixing refused, and the whole camp of Long Xiang was clamoring, Guo Taixing was helpless, and said: "One hundred and fifty sheep is really not good, fifty." ”

"Fifty? That! There are 600 of us, and the average of 10 is less than one! I can't fill my stomach! ”

Guo Taixing said: "I'll allocate some pasta for you to make up." ”

"No way!"

"That'...... I will give you twenty more jars of wine. ”

"Twenty altars? Too little. ”

"Thirty altars, no more! Special Envoy, you should know where we are now! ”

"Well, forty altars!"

"Thirty-five altars."

"Okay, deal!"

That night, Zhang Mai held a bonfire mutton banquet, surrounded the meritorious soldiers, gave meat to all the meritorious soldiers, ate noodles empty-handed, and rewarded the enemy and the prisoners.

Zhang Mai held wine in one hand and meat in the other, persuaded the soldiers to eat and drink one by one, and said to the thinnest dry monkey in the camp: "Monkey, you have to eat more, you are so thin, let the people of the Yingyang camp see it, people want to say that I am mean to you!" ”

The people next to him laughed, and the dry monkey took off his shirt and shouted, "Where did I lose weight?" I'm fat! Take a look, take a look! His lower abdomen was still flat, and everyone laughed, and the dry monkey shouted, "Don't laugh, come and touch it!" I used to be skinny and bone-ty, but now I have a thin layer of flesh underneath the skin! And they laughed even harder.

Xiao Shi has the greatest credit, he used the stunt of throwing a rope sleeve when he was fighting, and dragged down a centurion of a Hui man, and then cut down a Hui cavalry, and got a prisoner, the Tang Army's number of kills and prisoners this time was only one hundred and sixty-two people, Xiao Shi alone accounted for three, Zhang Mai stepped forward and scolded: "You kid knows how to kill, but you don't know women, originally I returned to Dengxia Valley to be sure that someone would help warm my feet, but because you talked nonsense, your boss and I have been on fire for almost a month!" See if I don't kill you tonight! ”

Xiaoshi likes to drink, but he has no chance to experience, the amount of alcohol is not very good, he choked after being poured two sips, struggling desperately, Ma Xiaochun and others rushed up, some grasped and some grabbed their feet, did not let him dodge, and poured half a jar of wine down, the young man was drunk, lost his mind, and jumped naked in the crowd and around the bonfire, shouting: "I want fleshy white, I want fleshy white......" shook the root of his life.

Hundreds of people laughed together when they saw his ugly appearance, and Zhang Mai was furious: "You kid still dare to say it!" ”

Big Stone and the others rushed up and shouted, "Boss, it's your turn!" "There are also people who catch hands and feet, and they are more ferocious than small stones.

The soldiers of the whole battalion carnivaled all night, only about 20 people who ate noodles were red-faced, hiding in the corner, ashamed, Guo Luo came over and shouted: "The next time there is a battle, you have to think about the embarrassment tonight!" ”

A soldier said indignantly: "If Lao Tzu is empty-handed next time, he won't come back, and he will wipe his neck on the battlefield!" ”

The Anxi Tang Army is short of materials, and they usually have to go to the pot for a few meters, and the Longxiang battalion can only have wine and meat to eat when they return from completing the task, and the three martial arts and four battalions are not cheeky to fight for because Yang Dingbang and Guo Shiyong take care of the overall situation, so no one eats a bowl of noodles with a piece of mutton, and the Flying Bear Battalion can only watch dryly, and they have to keep vigil for them. That night, the Longxiang camp was so drunk that even Zhang Mai was unconscious.

When I woke up the next day with a splitting headache, I found myself lying on a straw mat with a blanket on my body, and I faintly smelled a fragrant fragrance, and shook my head sharply, only to find that a figure had flashed out, and hurried to the door, but the person was gone.

"Isn't it Fen'er?" Just as he was about to call someone to ask, he heard news from outside the valley.

"The Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Eagle Yang Battalion are also back!"

After a while, Guo Bian ran over: "Brother Mai, my father invites you over." ”

In the tent of the Dadu Protector, the second elder Guo Yang and the captains of the battalions had already gathered, Zhang Mai saw that Yang Yi was unhappy, and asked, "Why, I didn't grab anything?" ”

"Something? Fart! Yang Yi said: "We heard that a large army drove out of Kulan City to the direction of Talas, so we guessed that Saikan went back to help, and the Saikan army was in order, Uncle An said that it would not be beneficial to intercept halfway, so he let them go, and waited for a day before suddenly rushing to Kulan City, but unfortunately this time they were strictly guarded, and they were not able to catch them off guard, nor did they capture the city gate. The soft eggs in Kulan City were frightened by us, and they didn't dare to go out of the city, but they just hid inside and didn't take a look. I wanted to attack the city, but Uncle An refused! Just walked around the city and left. There's not much outside the city. "Julan City was sacked by the Tang Army not long ago, not to mention outside the city, there are not many things worth robbing in the city.

An Shoujing said: "Siege the city, what city to attack!" On that day, Masoud couldn't take the new broken leaf with two or three thousand people, this Julan city is bigger than the new broken leaf, and I think there are thousands of people in it, and our team of less than a thousand people will attack what city! ”

"Anyway, it's good that I'm back safely." Guo Shidao said, "If you let you go out this time, you will disturb the other party, even if you have achieved your goal." ”

Zhang Mai asked Yang Yi with a smile: "So you didn't bring anything back this time?" ”

"That's not it, I brought someone back, I don't know if you want to see it."

"Who?"

"Who else, that Azimubei."

"Azimu? Zheng Wei? ”

Zhang Mai really didn't expect that in just over half a month, Zheng Wei would have such a big change.

When they first met, he was still a son-in-law, although he faced the sword of the Tang Army and the threat of Yang Yi, he also maintained the demeanor that the richest man in Julan City should have, but now his face was full of dust, his cheeks and neck were all scratched scars, and the clothes on his body were also torn, the clothes inside were like those worn by slaves, and the collar on the outside was obviously put on later, and the whole person looked depressed and depressed, with a pair of eyes that were completely devoid, and he didn't even dare to look at people, as if he had a shameful thing hidden in his heart for fear of being known. His old family Zheng Hao and his younger brother Zheng Han who came with him stayed outside.

Guo Shidao had heard of Zheng Wei's identity from there, Guo Yanglu and Zheng Sijia were comrades-in-arms a hundred years ago, the Zheng family and the new Broken Leaf City were secretly in constant contact, Guo Shidao regarded Zheng Wei as a nephew, and then saw him like this and exclaimed: "Ah Yi, how can you treat Brother Zheng Shi like this!" ”

Yang Yi shouted: "Uncle Guo, don't get me wrong, I didn't abuse him, it was Saikan who did itβ€”when I first met him, he was worse than now." ”

Zhang Mai couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?" ”

Yang Yi didn't have a good impression of Zheng Wei, and said with a gloating smile: "Soon after the soldiers and civilians of Saikan passed that day, we saw Zheng Hao, the old family of the Zheng family, riding a camel in the direction of Dengshang City, I intercepted him, he saw me and hurriedly asked for help, it turned out that day we left Julan City with our hind feet, and Saikan stepped in with the front foot, because we couldn't touch our shadow, annoyed and angry, at this time, I don't know who told the secret, saying that when we entered the city, there were merchants and we secretly communicated with the song, Saikan checked, and really found a lot of what we opened' IOU', Sekan was furious and arrested all the merchants who had 'borrowed' our things. Zheng Xiaozi is smart, and he destroyed the IOU and all kinds of evidence in advance, but unfortunately, when people want to trouble him, where does it matter what evidence is not evidence. Therefore, their Zheng family also suffered. ”

Zheng Wei didn't speak, and when he heard this, he said angrily: "You, you ......" There seemed to be infinite pain and anger in his chest, but he couldn't speak.

Zhang Mai was also stunned when he heard it, when he issued the "IOU", firstly, it was a formality, and secondly, he was also preparing that the Tang Army would be developed in the future, and he was really ready to repay the money and establish credit, but he did not expect it to cause unwarranted disasters to these merchants.

Yang Yi continued: "Other merchants, Saikan is just suspicious, but there is a housekeeper named Meng You in the Zheng family who betrayed the head of the family, and even told Saikan about our contact with Zheng Xiaozi several times, and that Meng You still doesn't know how, and he also secretly saw the scene when Brother Mai handed over the map to Zheng Xiaozi. ”

Everyone in the military tent couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this was only a big disaster for the Zheng family, and they all wanted to know how Zheng Wei would deal with it, but when they saw Yang Yi say this, his face turned peaceful, and he continued: "But this Zheng kid is also a little good, Saikan coerced and lured him, and even pulled out his family to threaten him, he actually carried it, he didn't leak anything about our stationing, and he also took the opportunity to burn the map that Brother Mai gave him." ”

He said these words lightly, Guo Shidao and others knew that the situation at that time must have been very dangerous and cruel, and Zheng Wei was able to endure it and did not betray Tang Jun, his affection for Tang Jun was enough to move everyone in the tent.

Yang Yi continued: "At that time, there was only one of the most loyal old family members, Zheng Hao...... he pointed out the door: "Escaped, he fled outside the city and hid for a day, and after hearing about the changes in the Zheng Mansion after he left, he fled into the desert." Because Zheng Boy ...... before," Yang Dingguo shouted: "What Zheng Boy! Yang Yi stuck out his tongue and changed his words: "Because Zheng ...... Brother Zheng Wei had told Uncle Zheng Hao about the incident of going to the city before, so Uncle Zheng Hao came to report to us outside the city after he got out. I was going to Kulan City, but when I found out about it, I hurried to save people. After Saikan arrested the merchants who found the IOUs, the men tortured them, and those who were not killed were sent to the city and outside the city to do hard labor, when we saw him," Yang Yi pointed to Zheng Wei: "His family's property in Kulan City has been divided between Saikan and Mengyou, and the men of the family and more than a dozen bankrupt merchants who have been demoted to hard labor by Saikan are being escorted by a team of Hui soldiers to do hard labor and transport firewood and grass outside the city...... Do that...... Hey. When Yang Yi said this, he saw that Zheng Wei's face was getting more and more ugly, so he didn't continue.

The generals guessed that it was a military prostitute or something, and there was a look of unbearability on their faces, Zhang Mai and Guo Shidao couldn't help but stand up and thank Zheng Wei.

Zheng Wei tilted his head and said coldly: "It's just a fake map, even if I betray you, I won't be able to damage you at all, thank you!" What a thanks! When he arrived in the valley, he knew that Zhang Mai's words that day were deceitful.

Zhang Mai hurriedly apologized and said: "Using a fake map, after all, is indispensable to defend against people, if you and I change places, what would you do at that time?" But I sent a team of men and horses to the city of Dengshang, and if Brother Zheng arrives in Dengshangcheng, our people will immediately come over. ”

Guo Shidao also said: "What the envoy said is that the map is fake, but the sentiment is true. ”

Zheng Wei is a person who has read through the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Heaven, and has good cultural accomplishment and temperament, but at this time, he couldn't help jumping up, grabbed Zhang Mai's collar and said angrily: "Is love and righteousness true? What a fart! I sue you, you have no affection for me, and I have no affection for you! You people, don't put on a pitiful face, I don't need it! Be! My wife was also arrested, what's the matter, you pretend to be pitiful on your face, but you are actually very proud in your heart, because I didn't listen to you at the beginning, right? Think I'm funny! Right! ”

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, Zhang Mai saw his hideous face, and also felt his pain, and said, "I didn't mean that!" I didn't mean that! Something like this happened, and no one wanted to. ”

Zheng Wei spat on Zhang Mai's face, and said angrily: "Don't want to? Don't want to? What do you mean by not wanting to? It's all you, it's all you! Our Zheng family is living a good life in Kulan City, if it weren't for you coming out for no reason, I would have ended up where I am today! ”

Saliva sprayed Zhang Mai's face, but he didn't wipe it, at this time, the eyes of the two were less than an inch apart, Zhang Mai's eyes did not avoid it at all, and said in a deep voice: "I told you a long time ago, it is not okay to hold a knife in someone else's hand!" Since the Tang Dynasty withdrew from the Western Regions, it has become a land of Hulu, all Hu Gui, Tang people are cheap! Even if you change your Han surname, in the eyes of the Hui people, you are still inferior to the third class of people such as Zhaowu and Persia! No matter how much wealth you accumulate, it's just fish on people's chopping boards and livestock in pens, and it's just a matter of when people find a reason to cut them. Unless my Datang Guowei is revived, it is impossible to change this fate. ”

Zheng Wei's whole body was shocked, his hand involuntarily let go, he staggered back to the door, squatted down, covered his face, tears and snot flowed out of his hands: "I originally thought that the Hui would slowly become better, their founder Qadir Khan once issued a law, saying that he would treat all the clans under his rule equally like the Tang Taizong Tian Khan, and when Bogra Khan occupied the cities of Talas and Kulan, he also promised us that he would act according to the laws of heaven that had been implemented by the Great Eclipse......" As he spoke, he suddenly howled: "It's all bullshit, bullshit!" ”

In fact, in Sekan's view, the woman is in the goods, and in his concept, taking away Alice is just taking away a treasure from the Zheng family, which is still the meaning of beating and torturing and warning, he thinks that it is not a must, but Zheng Wei's feelings in his heart are not like this at all, at this moment, the elegant and calm, erudite, criss-crossing the mall, and the independent Kairim bin Abdul Azimu is gone, and the one who squatted by the door and cried was just a poor man who was extremely weak. His younger brother Zheng Han heard crying outside, and came over and shouted, "Brother......" but also cried.

Guo Shidao let out a long sigh, and the others didn't know how to persuade him, and after a long time, Zhang Mai asked, "Then what do you want to do now?" ”

Zheng Wei choked and couldn't speak, Yang Yi sneered: "Forget it, Brother Mai, don't pay attention to him, this kind of wretched waste, I'm upset when I see too much." Zheng Wei raised his head suddenly: "What did you say!" Who do you say is a wreck! ”

Yang Yi said coldly: "Aren't you very angry in Julan City?" But you can't even protect your own woman, you will only cry when something happens, what are you a wreck? ”

Zheng Wei gritted his teeth, biting the corners of his mouth so much that blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he didn't know whether it was his gums or lips that he had bitten, and said suddenly: "I'm not a wreck...... I'm not a wreck...... I want revenge! I want revenge! ”
